Bayonetta & Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle Reviews
PlatinumGames is now one of the most respected developers in our industry, and it’s due to titles like Bayonetta, and Vanquish. There’s no doubt that it’s most due to the success of the sassy and sultry lass in black, who won the hearts of millions of gamers out there. Her dominate attitude, her lust for vengeance and action, and her impeccable gunplay makes her one of gaming’s leading lady’s.
They’re just as good as everyone remembers
Given Bayonetta & Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle is based on two fairly well-known games from about a decade ago, there is only so much you can say. Both remain extremely engaging and I instantly found myself remembering why I loved both of these games. Even if the story is a bit of a weak point, both titles remain extremely engaging and still better than a fair number of games that release today. The only real downside to the collection is, again, the dated look. But, at roughly $20 apiece, it's easy to justify this ride regardless of this being your first or fifth run.
Bayonetta & Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle is a great collection for fans of PlatinumGames and those who have long wanted to touch the beautiful, but did not have the opportunity due to the lack of necessary systems. Support for 4K screens, dynamic gameplay, charismatic characters and spectacular moments should please all fans of the genre. It's a pity that some problems related to the age of the projects were not fixed when porting, such as sometimes blurry textures, but otherwise Bayonetta and Vanquish are still great.

The gameplay of these action classics remains as awesome as it was ten years ago, but as a remaster it doesn't really up the ante
Good bundle with two absolute action classics, which were lovelessly ported to the 4K era.

Whether you were a witness to its glory in its original context, or whether you’re just reading about it for the first time in 2020, Vanquish is an experience worth having.
Bayonetta and Vanquish are still as good games as they were 10 years ago. We have already played them before at 4K and 60fps on PC, but if you are not part of the master race and have never tried such jewels, congratulations.

Both Games and especially Vanquish, are still after around 10 years worth a look for newcomers. Despite the lack of real new features or optimization, you should still give the games a chance if you haven't played them yet.

Vanquish remains practically untouched and its excellent quality is still shown here as a fantastic action game. Unfortunately, the game's transition to the current generation is below expectations.

For a reasonable price you can own Bayonetta and Vanquish – two of the greatest action games ever made, and they’ve aged like a fine Japanese wine, proving exactly why PlatinumGames is the best in the business when it comes to character-driven action experiences.
Even though Bayonetta and Vanquish are sliding into our hearts again and people should definitely play them, this definitely isn’t one of the better remasters out there.
With the 10th Anniversary Package for Bayonetta and Vanquish you'll get a diverse gameplay offering with the unique combination of style and substance that Platinum Games has become known for.
Bayonetta & Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle brings together two of PlatinumGames’ best, giving them a fresh coat of paint to stand up to the visual standards of this decade. Vanquish is the clear winner of the two here, with some visually fantastic improvements, but both play just as well as they did ten years ago. While it's disappointing that bonus content isn't included, they’re still games any action fan shouldn’t miss.
If you have a fondness for no-holds-barred action games then playing Bayonetta and Vanquish is a must. These suckers may be 10 years old but they hold up beautifully and even rival most modern AAA games.
Despite some weird framerate issues during cutscenes in both games, Bayonetta and Vanquish are both well worth your time (although I’d personally lean toward Bayonetta more if I was forced to pick between the two). If you don’t mind the occasional difficulty spike, and especially if you’ve never played either title before, this dual-pack release is definitely worth picking up.
As a fan of character action games such as these I can’t recommend the Bayonetta and Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle enough. Both games still look good even a decade later and performance wise they’ve never been better especially on the PlayStation platform.
Two of the best action games of the last generation make the jump to current gen consoles and prove just as entertaining as they ever were.
Both games featured in Bayonetta & Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle hold up well a decade after their original release.
Even in 2020, Bayonetta is a wonderful Hack & Slash with a great balance of difficulty and gameplay. Although the cinematics can look a bit dated even in this remaster is a great thing to finally play the game on PS4 and Xbox One. Specially after the lackluster port of the game on PS3.
