Topping off the brilliant combat is the occasional spice of variety brought out through unique gameplay moments. An unstated synergy is established between the game and the player that I’ve never seen accomplished to this degree of perfection in any other game of this style. Once you get a feeling for this flow, it’s easier to know exactly which attack types to use and when to use them. Relying on the player to understand the timing of combat, both in relation to combos and the aforementioned Witch Time mechanic. Rather the general flow of combat is where Bayonetta 2 puts most of its focus. While a plethora of complex combos are available to the player via the combination of punches, kicks, and ranged attacks, knowing specific combos is never really necessary. This features slows the progression of time and allows Bayonetta to get in a flurry of powerful combos before her opponent can do anything to stop her. Combat is quick and fluid, relying on well-timed dodges to activate Witch Time. Most of the time is spent in combat, complimented by short segments of exploration and some very light puzzle solving. Like I said, pay attention, things move fast.īayonetta 2 is a action game in the same vein as Devil May Cry or God of War. This all happens in the first 20 minutes or so. While attempting to save Bayonetta from a literal dinosaur from Hell, Jeanne’s souls is knocked out of her and dragged to the underworld. Santa Claus steals Joe Pesci’s car and uses it to deliver guns to Bayonetta. While Christmas shopping, Bayonetta and her fellow witch Jeanne are attacked by an angel-controlled fighter jet. With that in mind, it would be suicidal to attempt to cover anything other than the most general aspects of the story arc here. That’s not to say they don’t make sense, but if you’re interested in following along, pay close attention during cutscenes. The plots of either Bayonetta game, particularly in relation to each other, are remarkably confusing. To put it simply, Bayonetta 2 on Switch is the best version of the best character action game ever made.
If you’ve never played Bayonetta 2, or Bayonetta for that matter, you’re probably wondering what makes this game so great. So, if you’re like me, you’re likely wondering if the Switch version brings anything new to the table that can justify a second dip. Even with consistent framerate issues, the core design of that game was so incredibly good, that it became one of my favorite Wii U games. I remember finishing Bayonetta 2 on Wii U back when it first launched and being floored that somehow, PlatinumGames had bested the first game.
