I revisited this game for a second playthrough recently and it's just as good as I remember! While the combat does feel a bit easier compared to the first game, I love how fluid it feels. I also don't usually play Bayonetta games for their stories but I actually found the story here to be rather enjoyable. There weren't any chapters that felt like a slog to get through and it didn't overstay its welcome. The soundtrack still slaps and personally, I think Bayonettas look in this game is the best. At the time of writing this, I'd say Bayonetta 2 is my favorite game in the series.
