Team, diplomacy has failed, remove half a star from Bayonetta for not being as fun.

I cannot see my character. He is very small. His hitbox is very big. When I get hit I run around in circles on the floor. I cannot comprehend this. I try to make a whip, they turn into claws. I try to make a hammer, it turns into a whip. My character is behind a 50 gigaton robot. Where is he. I cannot imagine trying to 100% this and having to master the shooter sections. I hit a giant turtle with a big weapon. It works. I hit it again. This time it doesn't, and my amorphous blob is spread over an area the size of DMC 1's map.

A metallic clang reverberates inside my skull.

My Platinum™ damage metal instantly goes to a silver. By the time I finish mopping the floor, the giant turtle has already hit me again. The Kamiyagamers sit in the audience and they laugh at me - "You should have already played it when you do your first playthrough" - my smile turns into a frown. I wish I was playing Ōkami. Where is my character. I do a jumping action by pressing the A button. My character is instantly thrown into the isometric pit between two cliffs that looked like they were 1 nanometer apart. The turtle hits me again - it looked like this attack could be blocked, but unfortunately I either didn't properly understand the physics of jelly or I misjudged the weight of the attack to be 80 megatons instead of 120 megatons, which everyone knows is the lethal limit for cartoon gelatine. Except when it isn't. "I should have already played it" I think to myself.

I cannot find my character.

I have a lot of issues with this, but ultimately once you get past those comboing enemies is in fact really enjoyable (especially when you get several morphs going at once) and the setpieces are by far the best Kamiya has ever stood for, and probably some of the best in any character action game. The plot is fun, I laughed several times and the characters are all both enjoyable and cool. The wonderline is a Wonderful™ mechanic (the 90% of the time where it works as expected). I had a good amount of fun with this despite the admittedly pretty frequent frustrations. Where is Wonder Red. I cannot see him on my screen
