![]() At the same time, players will also see that the story takes a backseat despite the game consisting of cutscenes practically after every other battle. It will only take a few battles for players to realize just how different Bayonetta 3 plays in comparison to its predecessors. Bayonetta 3 is, at best, eye candy made by a team that does not understand the series’ combat system or character appeal. In an attempt to be the biggest Bayonetta game yet, the latest entry stumbles hard and ironically feels the smallest due to how gameplay and story work in tandem to create a messy tango of sluggish sequences and boring set pieces. In contrast to the last two entries, where Bayonetta 3 attempts to make itself distinct is placing audiences within Godzilla-sized battles–both figuratively and literally. ![]() Weaker Than a Low-Level Demon Image: Platinum GamesĪs the saying goes, bigger isn’t always better. In Bayonetta 3, style, wit, wacky ideas, and over-the-top characters have all been watered down into meaningless elements that fuel a game focused on scale above anything else. Both games suffered from flawed level design and aging gameplay decisions, but that never stopped either from keeping viewers’ eyes glued to the unpredictable lead’s story and her rather humorous and renegade allies. While they may not have been perfect action-adventure games, there is no denying that the original Bayonetta release and its Wii U sequel Bayonetta 2 were stylized dream rides that ran with imagination. It may not be an unplayable disaster, but between its interrupting cutscenes, stale gimmicks, embarrassing level design, kaiju-styled set-pieces that fail to be fun, and dreadful narrative, the game is bouncing all over the place in terms of quality and consistency. After more than half a decade of development, the third entry in the Bayonetta series is not just a major downgrade from its well-received successors–it is also a far cry from everything that made the prior games beloved and absurd extravaganzas. The umbra witch deserved better than this.īayonetta 3 from wildcard creator Hideki Kamiya and developer Platinum Games is a complete mess.
