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!

The game oozes atmosphere and has charm and love and care showing from all the corners of the game. The game is developed by old DMC developers so if you like devil may cry then you will like this, if you don’t like it or don’t know how the combat is, it is a 3D combo fighter where honestly it gets a little stale but is enjoyable enough to keep you going. Would still recommend

Combat in this game is really good. Narration is over the top, I personally find it hilarious.

A cool game with a visual style that is very well done imo. The fighting is interesting and you get a ton of possible and creative combos you can learn and implement. The game reminded me a lot of Devil may cry with a female protagonist/ a more anime setting. As in typical anime fashion everything is a bit over the top, this is something you have to like but it fits with the rest of the game.

Arguably the current pinnacle of a whole genre, Bayonetta takes Devil May Cry's already excellent foundation and further develops its depth, spectacle, and charm, while simultaneously broadening its accessibility without sacrificing difficulty.
