Played through Easy mode on Switch. Couldn't get into the original (PC or on PS3) but this one hooked me. I enjoyed the story and the combat (I don't have the skills for Normal anymore it seems). Beat it in no more than 8 hours over a weekend. Some of the cutscenes were a little pixelated and the few "vehicle" …

Whether the over the top combat, the frenetic non-stop action or a story so convoluted it would make Hollywood blush, Bayonetta 2 is just a blast. It reminds me of NES Battletoads on steroids when you do special moves against enemies. The challenge is high, but not impossible.

Whether the over the top combat, the frenetic non-stop action or a story so convoluted it would make Hollywood blush, Bayonetta 2 is just a blast. It reminds me of NES Battletoads on steroids when you do special moves against enemies. The challenge is high, but not impossible. Sometimes the button mashing and overall gameplay seems a bit more luck based than skill based, but it doesn't detract from the fun. Looking forward to Bayonetta 3 coming to the Switch soon.

My first real hack and slash game and GODDAMN this game is fun. I'm 8 chapters in so far and it's really easy to pick up and play around with really stylish combos. Witch time is satisfying to pull off. The spectacle is absolutely out of this world, coming from a Wii U game. The soundtrack absolutely bops. Bayonetta 2 …

My first real hack and slash game and GODDAMN this game is fun. I'm 8 chapters in so far and it's really easy to pick up and play around with really stylish combos. Witch time is satisfying to pull off. The spectacle is absolutely out of this world, coming from a Wii U game. The soundtrack absolutely bops. Bayonetta 2 is just a blast right now. I really want to play Devil May Cry 5 as well, but this will do for now.

LEsgoooo! Bayonetta 2 for the Nintendo Switch :). This game just oozes with style points. Over the top attacks, ridiculous cutscenes, and of course... it's not a Bayonetta game if you're not striking poses as you tear down legions of angels xD

Just finished it again. This time in 'hard' (3rd Climax). I didn't knew I could unlock Chomp-Chomp as a weapon AND IT IS AMAZING!

Finished, wohoo!! I did kind of speed through this game, it took me 10 hours 11 minutes and 54 seconds to finish Bayonetta 2 on normal difficulty. I found the game to be a lot easier than Bayonetta 1 for some reason, but maybe that is just because my skills improved. I will definitely revisit this game and the first …

Interesting, but I don't see myself rushing out to buy this any time soon.
