About Bayonetta
About this game
Developed by PlatinumGames and published by SEGA.
Bayonetta is a hack-'n'-slash title in which you'll take control of a witch named Bayonetta who awakens after 500 years of sleep with no memories of who or what she is. Developed by Hideki Kamiya, the brilliant mind behind Resident Evil and Devil May Cry's booming fame, this fan-favourite title had a fantastic release with its PC port for Steam!
500-Year Slumber
After 500 years of slumber, Bayonetta wakes up to a strange world that she does not recognise, with no prior recollection of who or what she is. Accompany her as she slowly gains recollection of her memories and learns about the two warring factions, the Umbra Witches and the Lumen Sages, and how their predicament connects to her sleep.
Genre-defining Combat
Experience Bayonetta's signature combat with fast-paced combos and fantastic abilities as you fight through the forces of light. Use her weapons, including her guns, heels, magic, and hair demons, to bring down the Angel threat. Choose between five different difficulties — Very Easy, Easy, Normal, Hard, and Non-Stop Infinite Climax — and use her entire arsenal, such as Wicked Weave, Torture Attacks, and Witch Time, to secure your victory!
Full Steam Support
Perfectly ported for the PC with Steam, Bayonetta takes all of Steam's features into account to make a brand-new experience: Steam achievements, Cloud save, trading cards, and experience PC-exclusive upgrades to take full advantage of the strength of a computer, with 4K resolution, anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, SSAO lighting, scalable texture and shadow quality, and much more!

Bayonetta is a fantastic game with a lot of action, very well placed quick time events and a story that will keep you coming back for more! The rich and very in-depth backgrounds will leave you in shock and awe, the action will keep you coming back for more, the moves are out of this world and the combat is very fluent! The boss fights are some of the best I have ever experience!

If Dante was a woman he would be Bayonetta, need I say more? This game is very reminiscent of Devil May Cry 4 both in its gameplay and stage-to-stage format. The MC "Bayonetta" is extremely entertaining to play as and I'm not just talking about her gameplay. overall this is a great game that you will remember fondly. Give it a go!

A brutal hack 'n slash adventure, the dazzling combos look effortless with the brilliant frame rate. Taking heavy inspiration from Hideki Kamiya's other highly acclaimed titles such as Resident Evil and Devil May Cry, Bayonetta features a captivating story and highly enjoyable gameplay.

Bayonetta is a captivating action packed adventure game filled with style and spunk from start to finish. Casual gamers like may be put off by the difficulty curve of this game but the gameplay remains consistent and the outlandish visuals are full of personality. Plenty of shots that show off the confidence and body this female protagonist and I expected no less from this titular character.
Hideki Kayima directed this game. Director of Devil May Cry and Okami, his accolades in those games alone is what made me very excited to play this game.
My experience with this game has been nothing but tremendous. The staple characters are quite enjoyable and I always loved seeing them develop around their relationship with Bayonetta. Don't even get me started on the story, it's quite the trip.
TLDR: Bayonetta is a witch with guns strapped to her heels who eats angels with her hair. She eventually goes up into space and takes matters in her own hands to kill a god by throwing it into the sun.
Pick up the game, its a wonderful experience whether you're playing on easy with flashy auto-combos or up to take the challenge in beating this game on harder difficulties. You'll sure to be well... bewitched. ;)

I never played this on my ps3, but I definitely enjoyed this. I hope to find 2 and 3 at a good price, but the switch exclusivity is gonna have me spend $100 plus.
