So I just beat this game after waiting 8 years to finally see where they'd take the franchise after Bayo 2 and this game did not disappoint, I had an absolute blast playing this and seeing my favourite video game lady ever back in action!

Seeing this game run on Switch had me like "DAMN, OK" (though it still saddens me that the ip is Nintendo exclusive, would love to play on PC with a proper controller instead of the joy con lol) and the range of weapons and transformations, alt costumes and demons in this game Bayo can use is incredible and leaves so much room for replay value!

Viola's gameplay is fine too, though I definitely prefer playing as Cereza, especially since her Witch Time is much easier to pull of by just dodging instead of having to parry and not having any more demons other than Chesire kinda sucked to be honest; I will also admit I'm not a fan of Jeanne's gameplay either and found parts of it a bit frustrating but at least her levels are only like 5 mins tops, so not a huge deal.

Storywise this game is pretty fine, I still think the firsat game had a better story and pacing but hey, I thought it was better than 2 (not that 2 is a bad game, far from it) and I thought it was a really nice conclusion/passing of the torch story, makes me very curious to see how they could make a possible Bayonetta 4 since they tease it after the credits.

I would definitely recommend this game to any fan of action games, and if you already like DMC, you probably already like this!

Now if you don't mind, I'm gonna go make out with my Bayonetta dakimakura 😏 lmao
