Bayonetta is a really fun game, but there are SO MANY BUGS!!!! sometimes you'll soft lock yourself because you jumped too fast into something, invisible characters in cut scenes, and even maps not fully loading within the actual game, I've gotten soft locked mid fight and couldn't defeat the enemy even though it showed no health.
Besides the bad things the game is actually really fun, the cut scenes are well made and add to the stories, the moves and Technics you can use grows as you play the game, you gain more weapons and after finishing a 30 minuets game section you get to play an angel shooting mini game.

Juegazo. El estilo no me convence, de la historia no me entero ni de la mitad, pero madre mía qué gusto da el gameplay. En el primer run sólo he coleccionada piedras, pero da igual, el witch hour lo salva todo. Los combos, el which hour, las fases donde de repente es un juego de naves... ¡fantástico!

Fast paced, lots of action and gore. Engaging combat and gameplay variety while maintaining a catchy soundtrack. Neat!

[list]
[*]The game is good, it has an interesting story
[*]Fighting is fun. Very flexible, lenient and over-the-top.
[*]Enemies are well designed
[*]Gorgeous protagonist
[*]Interesting and funny random events
[*]The scenes are nice to watch and exaggerating
[*]This game clearly does not give a fuck
[/list]
[H3] But sometimes... [/H3]
[list]
[*]The chapters, wherein you actually play the game, are very short
[*]Too many cutscenes, less gameplay
[*]There are so many moves you can buy and try, and do many combinations with your playstyles. However, it doesn't really pay off when the game time per chapter is so short and not a lot of enemies pop up.
[*]Stupid QTE, that makes me die everytime.
[/list]
Overall the game is recommendable, but I wouldn't say I would go do another playthrough with this one. DMC is worthy of replayability, but this one is not.

It's awesome when I played it in 2025!
It's a little bit like Devil May Cry, but is also different. It's has some very interesting design for the main characters and enemies.

It's one of the best character action games of all time, but I'm having an issue with game crashes and invisible models during cutscenes.

I am sad to communicate that as much as I love this game (one of my all time favorites) I simply cannot recommended trough PC, the game haves some issues with performance, I've heard about slowing down on certain computers (wich is not my case) but mostly issues with models dissapearing.
I've started to notice the issue around chapter 5, where sometimes the enemies or certain characters in cinematics would not show up, wich in a way is fine, it dosen't affect gameplay at all. However later on in chapter 8 specially, got some issues where plataforms/floor wouldn't appear, and you would fall off stage and take demage out of the blank, some other issues where in that same chapter the enemy by the name of 'Brave' would simply not show up, softlocking you on the level.
All of these bugs are fixable by getting out of the game and verifying files, however It is not intended for most games to do this, Bayonetta is a beloved game of mine, I would hope that at least it would get the care it deserves by fixing these old time bugs, wich apprently happend to be around for a good chunk by now.
I understand that this may or not be possible for things out of the devs hands.
I've replayed this game constantly on my 360, got it on Steam because my 360 as much as I love it, is quite old and not able to continue working as intended (it is 2025 after all). So I wanted to revive this game by getting it on steam.
If you are able to overpass these issues, I invite you with open arms to enjoy this game, the art, the gameplay, the music, it all haves so much soul into it. So if you don't mind the bugs I've previously mentioned.. Please, Play the game!

this is the 2 or 3 platform I play bayonetta in and (let me tell ya) mods bring a whole new experience to this. you can add costumes, guns, and a lot more from bayo 2 and 3, but also original mods that are just as good and creative2! makes replayability up to the infinite!!
