This requires far more precise timing and can be a real challenge at first, but it is satisfying when you make it work. Instead of dodging attacks, she has to parry enemy attacks to start it. Viola even activates witch time, the slow motion mode, which lets you really tear into enemies, differently from Bayonetta. She can throw her sword as well to summon a demon who will fight on their own, leaving Viola to fight with her first instead. She controls entirely different from Bayonetta, fighting with a sword, which means you spend a lot of time up close and personal with enemies. Jeanne has her own cool 2D stages, which play like a mixture of Elevator Action and Rolling Thunder, but they’re brief changes of pace. Stages in Bayonetta 3 are split between three main characters. She has a very different vibe from the rest of the cast, far less glam and more punk rock, but she’s a cool character who helps to provide some welcome variety. After watching that first Bayonetta die, Viola jumps into the multiverse using her own Umbra Witch powers to warn the crew you’ll actually be playing as in Bayonetta 3. As someone who last played Bayonetta 2 about three years ago, I doubt I’d have even noticed the difference if I wasn’t looking for it.Īll of your old favorites are joined by a new character as well in Viola. Jennifer Hale isn’t reinventing this character, she inhabits her beautifully. Those concerned by the switch to a new voice actress stepping into the title role can breathe easy. Everyone from Bayonetta herself, to Jeanne, Rodin, Enzo, and more are here, and they all feel right, with excellent voice acting helping deliver their characters. The important thing is that Bayonetta 3 is still filled with all the characters and attitude fans have grown to love through the first two games. Perhaps the most coherent part is the ending which will divide fans, but I’ve never come to Bayonetta for the story, and nothing here bothered me. Beyond those basics, things get a bit confusing, but that’s nothing new for this series. You see, Bayonetta 3 is focused on the multiverse and an entity moving throughout it, trying to murder versions of Bayonetta and steal their power. We start Bayonetta 3 by watching Bayonetta die. Fans who mostly care about that side of the game can rest easy Bayonetta 3 has been worth the wait. Bayonetta still has it where it counts, though, with some of the tightest action gameplay ever. Bayonetta 3 is perhaps less focused than the previous game, with a variety of new additions that range from brilliant to not quite working as well as they could. Players have waited nine long years for a sequel to perhaps the best pure action game of the last decade, but Bayonetta has returned with a few new tricks up her sleeve.
