Luckily, you can let go of the ZL and switch to Bayonetta to dodge and attack while the Demon goes through its lunging attack animation. While the Demon -from the staple saurian Gomorrah to the giant bird Malphas- smashes through obstacles big and small, Bayonetta is in the corner dancing her heart out and is left vulnerable.

Essentially, PlatinumGames took the designs they’ve used in 2019’s Astral Chain with the Legion, and implemented it in full force. While in past games they appear as giant-sized finishers, Umbra Climax powerups, and combo enders, here they act as another character you can summon and temporarily control to complement your attacks. Speaking of giants, Bayonetta 3’s new feature is the Demon Slave technique where you now can summon and fully control your demons by pressing and holding the ZL trigger. I’ll say this: it’s clear as day that PlatinumGames are influenced by Capcom’s Devil May Cry 5 a tad as one of Bayonetta 3’s weapons is a choo-choo version of the chainsaw bike. That, and your slew of weapons ranging from pistols to giant boomstick-slash-giant-club to even a microphone stand with attack and defense buffs if you sing the right note.
They’re also pretty tough and come in shapes and sizes ranging from fast light-type units that are hard to hit unless you initiate Witch Time to a “pagoda” stacked behemoth that requires you to use the game’s new powers to hit. These new foes decked in white and turquoise seem aqua-based and have pretty Eastern designs, almost Buddhist-like in nature.
You’ll visit ancient China, Cairo, and even gay Paris, fighting alien-like enemies called the Singularity. She uses her Wicked Weave attacks and Demon-summoning skills via her magic hair to deal with enemies, as well as use Witch Time to slow down time when she dodges enemy attacks perfectly. Some of it is attributed to the game going exclusive for Nintendo’s console and its developer possibly being complacent, but I’m getting ahead of myself.īayonetta 3 will take you all across the world in different timelines through different chapters with their own verses as the titular tall-ass model ass-kicking title character.

And it’s a blessing of sorts because this third in the hyper-action series is worth getting into and playing, though it has some issues. He even stated in a recent Famitsu interview that development literally started in that particular year too, but he is thankful that Nintendo has supported the game from start to finish, just like they did with Bayonetta 2.Īnd just like that, expectations are already set for the upcoming title, where many fans are patiently waiting. 5 years later, we now get a Nintendo Switch-exclusive Bayonetta game that’s sure to receive a ton of eyeballs and attention following recent voice actress-related events.
PlatinumGames vice president Hideki Kamiya, who created Bayonetta with his Team Little Angels back in 2009, said that his team may have prematurely announced the third game. Some of the locations are just plain ugly, the regular enemies are nondescript, and there are times when the camera zooms out so far you don't know what's happening.īayonetta 3 was going to be one of the few Switch games I played exclusively on the TV, but this only magnified the imperfections and further highlighted the limitations of the Nintendo Switch.Genre: Action, Witches, Devil May Cry-style fighting, Hideki Kamiya nonsense It's almost like it deserves better.Īfter playing silky smooth games like Devil May Cry 5, or stunningly beautiful releases like Horizon Forbidden West and God of War, Bayonetta 3's resolution dips and frame-rate drops left me wondering if the game would be better suited to a more powerful console like the PS5 or Xbox Series X.įor all of its loud, showy cutscenes and extravagant set-pieces, it's the quieter moments when you notice the muddy textures, plain environments and overall lack of detail. As much as I love the Nintendo Switch (it really is one of my favourite consoles ever), I can't help feeling that Bayonetta 3 would benefit from an injection of raw power.
