Out of all the reviewers, this channel is the best. It’s very thorough and I love the grading metric.

Been waiting for your review! 🥳

I’m really not an action gamer (though I’ve played a few in the past) and I know Bayonetta 1 and 2 were a bit difficult for a newbie but the fact they added summons and different types of gameplay (like the platforming) is such a welcome addition! Maybe I’ll pick it up soon

Was waiting for this. Trust you guys the most. Thanks 😁

This review is exactly as I am experiencing the game. Since I’m not an action game player normally, I started at beginner difficulty and I do find it a bit too easy, since I can’t seem to do anything wrong against opponents, but only get myself killed from my horrible platforming skills. So as an rpg player who loves heavy cut scenes and voice acting, this might be a good game to get some more action elements in my gaming. Thanks for the review and the reduced price thanks to your e-shop cards!

Bayonetta was the reason I bought an xbox 360 after playing it round my best friend's house after school about 10 years ago. We both pre-ordered this one and I am as having as much fun as I did with the first entry back then.

I'm not picking this one up right now only because of the large amount of great releases in November, but I'll definitely get it soon.

Been waiting for this review from you guys 🎉🎉🙌🏽🙌🏽

I got my copy of this on release day, but I really want to play through 2 before I begin. It's been chilling in my backlog for a while. Might be about time to get my umbra witch on!

Even if I do t get this I love the reviews. As a fellow teacher I discovered you both during 2020 and really resonated with your style. I currently discovered Astral chains and am working through that and Fez. Keep up switching up! See ya!

I don't comment much lately, but I knew your review would come out later but better. The one to watch! No wonder you're now a 10 times bigger channel! Here's to 10 times more, cheers :D

I've not really been interested in the Bayonetta series so far, but somehow I've been really liking what I'm seeing with Bayo 3. ....okay, you got me, Viola's Cheshire cat is what got me xD I'll still wait for a nice sale though, or maybe I can get it for Christmas. Thank you for your review!

Already finished the game and it's my favorite of the franchise. Such a great game.

I love Bayonetta 3. It brought so much more sass from 2 and I damn love it! Also, I love that you can use the main pistols from the previous games.

Please Platinum Games, patch in a training mode to rival the one found in Devil May Cry 5. I would love to know the reason why they didn't include a deep, customisable training mode for us to get our combo practice on.

What a review!! I was not a Bayonetta fan until now, this game looks great and is something that I really want to play.

What happened to the sectioning of videos? Did YT remove that feature?

I was wondering when you were gonna review this game.

Ah man, seeing a game with such great visuals running in 50-60 fps on a 7 watt mobile device in times of power hungry cpu's and gpu's is refreshing!! 😁

Crushed it on the opening puns this week! So I've never played a bayonetta game. I tried Devil May Cry ages ago and bounced off it. What's the likelihood I'll actually enjoy bayonetta? Is the experience much different?

It’s such an amazing action game!! A must buy

I think some of the 2d stages are a nod to an old arcade game series called Elevator Action (Elevator Action Returns in particular).

No idea why my notification is six hours late but I’m SwitchUp ready!

oh my god your comparison of Bayo to Elvira/Mae West/Sarah Conner is *so* spot on!!!!!

1st love the thumbnail. 2nd What took you guys so long to make the review?

Thank you for the upload

Gotta love those opening puns. Great review. Held off on this one because of the currency system but it seemingly doesn't play into the game too much. Now I just have to beat 1&2.

Wow I love Bayonetta. I had no idea there was a part three! I’m getting it. Hopefully there’s a Black Friday sale.

😮 your gameplay looks outstanding compared to my switch.. it’s extremely muddy on screen for me

I'm really enjoying the game. It's very good at several levels and has several nods to older games and tv shows. The Jeanne animated sequence has Cowboy Bebop written all over it and it's so good. Very nice review. You guys keep doing such a great job. Thank you, fellas!

WOW!! The puns were strong in that intro! 💪 😝😂

Absolutely loving this best action game in the series by far got the trinity masquerade edition here in Australia and I’m loving where their taking the game and story so far, well done on the review fellas!

I was enjoying the demon summoning and playing as bayonetta until I got to chapter 4. Just not enjoying the second Character at all and thinking bout turning it on easy n back up to speed run them

can we expect a sonic frontiers switch version review?

Cheers Glen. I haven't played a Bayonetta game since the 1st. Looks as good as I remember.

I have got it, just on the desert level. The game has only really started to hit its stride with me. Up until now it was a little average tbh. The boss just before the desert was great and this environment is more interesting. So I'm hopeful for the rest of the game as I loved bayonetta 2

Oh my gosh... I'm about to finish the game very soon, I'm on the last chapter. I'm watching this review and you bring up the orbs that you can use to unlock new skills, I kid you not, I forgot all about that. I don't know whose fault is that and I wonder if that prevented me from doing better in the game with its ranking system and the challenges

Finished the game this past weekend. Loads of fun, now I’m going backwards to play 2 & 1. I actually enjoyed the confusing storyline, it’s a perfect mess.

What a good game Just got to find secret leves

Thinking of getting it

Is the gameplay unique enough to make me become a new fan of this genre? Sometimes hack and slash games feel redundant to me but I'm really considering this

I was fortunate enough to pick up the amazing Collector's edition of this game. I LOVE it, but I still think Bayonetta 2 is ultimately my favorite. The combat in this game, though? *Chef's kiss*. My only gripe is that sometimes I feel like the levels are a little too big with nothing much going on in them. I would have preferred the more linear sections from the previous entries. Still a great game, and Jennifer Hale is queen.

"Umbralievable" Oh man, pun game on point.

I knew i will love the review since puns is used So Excited for this game

I’ve never played a Bayonetta game, on the basis that it seemed to me mostly like Devil May Cry, which I wasn’t that bothered by. I know a lot of people love this series. Am I wrong not to be interested?

Another masterpiece. As I've found with every Bayonetta game, it takes a bit of a commitment for it to finally click, getting used to the combat intricacies, learning enemy patterns, and dicovering the fun of replaying levels and shaving of better scores and trying out new weapons and here, also demon slaves. The game has the best replay mechanics of the series by the way, where only the verses which you improved on will be updated on your overall score. Less punishing, more addictive. Camera has been patched since launch.

Was interested because of 60 fps. I sample play Bayo 1 and 2 before but couldn’t get into the combat. Too much combo memorization and it just wasn’t that much fun. I will past on this one.

I’m so behind. I played bayonetta 1 when it first released but never even tried bayonetta 2. Now we have the third out.

I love this channel, it's my go to review channel because unlike Bayonetta, the humour is actually good. This game is just outright bad. Tons of cut scenes with humour I would have found funny if I was 10 years old. The camera is shockingly bad. The action is few and far between and even then, every time there are a few pointless bits of dialogue Bayonetta slows to snails pace whilst they're said. The combat isn't much fun either. You have these huge enemies with no sense of power to them. Fighting them is really a bit of a drag at times with the camera and graphics just not making things on screen very clear. Glad I got physical copy 'cos I can trade it in and probably get £13 of my £20 back but still gonna have to drive to the shop to trade this heap of shit in. It's just like watching a bad film with some very medi action in-between. There was potential for the huge city scaling on the back of creatures to be really good but it just felt a bit clunky and held back by the camera again. If you want an action game with not a lot of action and a lot of boring cut scenes, then fire away.

Just bought this game on sale at shop I’m 20 minutes in and I can say on switch oled looks amazing like ps4 graphics

I still have to play the first one!!!!!

Sometimes the puns are so good I don't even need to watch before I click like 😆

I’ve only played it for about half an hour but looks great 🤗

Yeah. I'll probably get this someday.

Just picked it up today from gamestop. It's so good.

My biggest worry was the change in voice actor for bayonetta but the new voice actress keeps the same attitude and sexiness as the previous bayonetta's and that's the reason I got this game in the first place 😂

My favourite Bayonetta 3

11/10 I can't put this game down 🔥🤘🏾🖤!!!

Best action game of all time, bar none. I can't get over how good it is. This game SMOKES the last two Bayo games.

Could you talk about "It takes two"?

My question is Nier or Bayonetta 3? Been waiting for this review to see if it nudges me to one or the other, but opinions from others is welcome.

Great game…love evry second of it as well as my kids do enjoyed it a lot

I never found the camera to be an issue to be honest.

Bayonetta is the reason I bought Nintendo switch and I'm enjoying the trilogy. Bayonetta 3 is amazing but feels different from previous games.

Fantastic content.

I had to stop watching at the opening spoiler explaining the beginning of the game and what a certain character is as I intend to play this game and dont want to know twisty story beats like that .😕

Seeing as the Original Bayonetta (on 1 and 2) Died on this game is like a bittersweet strike of Hideki to the Helena Taylor Drama.

Not a fan of having 3 different currencies. Dmc4 showed that having more than one just makes it so that you have a large amount of both cause you're aren't spending enough of either. Especially with one currency being tied to unlocking attacks only. This game is no exception and is actually worse with it. But I guess having halos tied to extras only is fine. But the other two are a bit too much

Without spoiling the game, I’m disappointed that I didn’t bring back amiibo functionality

Huhuhuh....”titular” hero. I see what you did there Glenn.

Great Stuff!

yea love this series

I did. Still at the plastic cover

Maaaaaan guess i GOTTA get it now

Had a blast with this one, I nearly didn't buy it after Digital Foundry kicked the sh1t out of it in their 'tech review' but I'm glad I ignored them.

Visuals 18? Did we play the same game?

Bayonetta 3 borrowed a lot from Astral Chain. Quite a lot of gameplay mechanics were taken in one form or another from AC. Not complaining, just something I found interesting

they shouldnt have released Nier in the same month, still playing that game xD

Best game ever the ending piss me off don't care about the reviews

Why not review the story too? This is probably the most story-heavy one, so it feels weird to only passingly mention it

The first game was such an amazing gem that seemed to fly under the radar. Amazing to see a third game out now years later and still the games are great.

Wow that's a very good score! Unfortunately my wallet is not being nice right now ahahah

Finally!

Bayonetta 3 would definitely be one of the first purchases for my switch doesn’t

Why do developers always insist on forcing us to fight more and more giant enemies it’s never as fun as fighting a character that’s similar to your own in these kinds of games smh. I swear they don’t play their own games. The constant giant battles is a downgrade imo

I played the game, I miss the gory that bayonetta 1 had, 3 didn’t have that. Playing as different versions of bayonetta was nice, but viola is just so bad to use. Jean stages are an addition, but just a 2D platform that’s boring and uncreative. They wanted to just put something new there that doesn’t work. Playing Jean stages were such a drag, even if they take just 10 minutes to complete, it felt like a total waste of a lifetime. Also Bayonetta is constant ripping her heart out to make even bigger summons, those boss fights, well they feel lackluster and a total downgrade from the usual gameplay. They weren’t fun/enjoyable at all. But overall, it’s fun to see bayonetta again

I feel the target market this time is anime weebs who love action jrpg's and not bayonetta 1/rising revengance fans. Do i want up close ninja like action? Yes! Do i want to destroy 3 seed pods using a choo choo train controlled remotely to open a door? No! Ninja Gaiden sigma it is then...

This game is EPIC!!! I bought the standard and masquerade editions, and I am loving it. Game of the year by a mile.

I’m not sure if this game is for me but your review is a polar opposite from Kotaku’s. 😂

spoiler alarm: i guess it's gonna score high !

I have never played bsyonetta but have seen a youtuber plsy 1+2. And they look good. And this gsme looks better than the other two. But it's definitely not a game I'm picking up. I don't like action shooter's. It's just not my style of game. But the games are definitely fun to watch. But you can tell this gsme looks good

Bayonetta 3: Astral Chain edition

Without spoiling, the game's gameplay was absolutely breathtaking (save for some specific sections) but the story was unfortunately a confusing mess. Still, can't wait to spend countless hours completing this game though

90% bro :3

Digital Foundry ripped this game a new one. It definitely needs some work on the technical aspect.

Nice review guys although game isn’t to my taste as well as the sexualisation of the protagonist

The game is so good, except the last 30 minutes ahah. 😁

This game looks awesome, absolutely loved Bayonetta 1 and 2, can’t wait to sink my teeth into this one, but it’s gonna be awhile before I do. I’m playing my first ever play through of Persona 5 on the switch!

"The titular Bayonetta"
