I played through the first Bayonetta game 3 times and it was a pretty solid game. It's got one of my favorite soundtracks, and I actually went out of my way to get pure platinum on certain chapters because the boss fights were just that fun to me. However, I tried to replay it again back when Bayonetta 3 was announced and admittedly, I didn't really like it as much as I used to. The brownish filter bothered me a bit more and I didn't like the QTEs. Perhaps this was the result of coming back to the game after experiencing Bayonetta 2.

Nonetheless, I still remember the game fondly. It was a great introduction to the series and it provided me with a lot of fun!
