Bayonetta 3 Reviews
Bayonetta 3 is the best and the worst in the series at the same time. I feel that it manages to reach the highest points of the series yet, but is also paired with some of the lowest. The over-the-top cutscenes and combat have never been better and the gameplay is truly diverse throughout. Unfortunately, the performance, the weak story, and some horrid open-level design really harm the product from what initially on paper could have been the definitive Bayonetta experience. Bayonetta 3 for better or worse is a culmination of everything Platinum has created up to this point. Even on its darkest day, Bayonetta 3 is still a must-play for not only fans of the series but fans of the genre.
Bayonetta 3 delivers one of the best adventures of the year. This is all thanks to highly satisfying gameplay and several new concepts. The PlatinumGames team took some risks with this sequel that served the experience very well. The third game in the series is close to perfection and will satisfy action lovers and fans of the studio. In the end, Bayonetta 3 proves that there's still plenty of room for more mature games on Nintendo's console. I also recommend that you play it on the big screen given the visual quality and, preferably, with a Pro Controller for the best gameplay experience.

Bayonetta 3 is yet another brilliant entry in the series that recaptures the magic of its predecessors while charting new ground for the series’ future. Everything you could want from a sequel is here in spades. If you’re a fan of Bayonetta or just action games in general, a stylish feast awaits.
Bayonetta 3 is a delicious sequel to the action-packed franchise we all know and love. While it doesn't re-invent the wheel, this witch shows she still has a lot more to offer.
Bayonetta 3 marks the return of the titular Witch in an extremely good action game that despite some not as good elements and lack of focus at times, revitalizes and improves one of the best combat systems in gaming.

The two-headed monster of the multiverse ending sequences and the pacing issues caused by taking action out of Bayonetta’s hands diminish what should be the triumphant, near-perfect finale that Bayonetta deserves. I enjoyed Bayonetta 3 far more after beating it, exploring chapters at my leisure, and avoiding all the sequences that take her out of the equation. Bayonetta 3 is a great action game, worthy of experience for anybody who is into the genre. It’s just not the flawless action experience it could have been.
Bayonetta 3 is, in the words of Rodin, beautiful! It’s the sequel you’ve been waiting for, with some smart experimentation, clever gameplay evolutions, and variety for days that just keeps interest levels up throughout. Not every Verse works the way Platinum hoped, and through and through, this is very much a Bayonetta game so won’t be for everyone, but for the rest of us, you’ll revel in every facet and find this one of the most stunning games to put on your Switch OLED. It feels both strange and relieving to say Bayonetta 3 is finally here and it really was worth the wait.
Bayonetta 3 is spectacle, hilarity, excitement. It is a rollercoaster of situations born with the precise intention of creating a bombastic mosaic of gameplay that can always offer something new and surprise when you least expect it. The courage and audacity of the developers shine through from chapter to chapter

Bayonetta 3 is a story of love, years in the making. Both good and bad, this project has gotten stuck in time. That time dilation might be annoying for some clunky design choices, but it might also be the last time you'll be able to play something like this; and that in a package that has never been wrapped up any better. Maybe Bayonetta 3 is also a redemption story.
PlatinumGames does not usually disappoint, proof of this are great games such as Metal Gear Rising, Nier Automata or Mad World, and this time, we can say that he has proven it again. With Bayonetta 3 we will live a great adventure during its more than 15 hours of play with authentic moments that will make us love this beloved witch even more. If something makes us afraid, it is when the development of a game is too long, since it is usually an omen of something bad and 8 years have been many. We can say that these fears were far behind after several minutes of play, since Bayonetta 3, far from disappointing, is a highly recommended game and that will leave us with our mouths open, applauding or showing a smile on more than one occasion.

I just feel that the quality levels of the third game aren’t as top-tier when compared to parts 1 and 2. On its own merit, however, Bayonetta 3 is still a shining star in the pale moonlight.
It took me about 20 hours to get to the end of Bayonetta 3. I was in no hurry and i willingly instilled in the exploration of the various chapters. I didn't get everything there was to catch, so for those who like to do everything, there's still plenty to squeeze. As a fan since the first Bayonetta, this third game made me completely satisfied and brought things I couldn't even imagine. It's a peak for the series and a new benchmark in the genre. Bravo Platinum Games!

Bayonetta 3 delivers the most chaotic, luminous, and enthralling sequel filled with quality-of-life improvements that make this an immensely satisfying adventure.
Bayonetta 3 suffers from a generic story and enemies with a surprisingly boring level structure. The decision to go for more quanity delivers enough gameplay variety for hardcore fans. If you can live with repeating challenges and areas, you'll still get a crazy adventure with the gameplay, that the fans love.
