Which Bayonetta is the Best? 

Bayonetta 1 has such an atmosphere to it. Feels like a real world you’re visiting. Something about it is not ever captured in the sequels. I love all 3.

For me its bayonetta 2 , i had such great memories

bayonetta 1’s final boss was by far the best. it was the most satisfying. i love all three games but bayo 1 will always have a special place in my heart

I feel like Bayo 1 flowed together really well in displaying who Bayonetta is, with sexy animations and cutscenes while lacing in its plot and story pretty nicely. Haven’t finished Bayo 3 yet, but at least in terms of story, I think Bayo 1’s story has been much better overall tbh

They are all good in different ways but Bayo 1 had the most satisfying combat. I have played hours and hours on Bayo 1 just mastering the combos :)

Bayo 1 has the best music and overall atmosphere; Bayo 2 is the best visually and overall brings the characters more to life; Bayo 3 (Although I haven’t finished yet) overall has most dynamic combat system, gives many options for fighting

Bayo 3 has the best combat. Performance issues and all I like it best. Bayo 1 and 2 are fantastic as well.I’ve bought them all multiple times.

I think Bayo 3s character design is the weakest of the 3, with 1 being the best. The skirt and pigtails makes her look like a school girl imo. The suit in 2 is my favorite with the shoulder pads and blue motif, but overall I love the ribbon and body suit of Bayo 1 the most. Good video though.

Have you ever notice that in Bayonetta 3 the action is way more zoomed out? In Bayonetta 1 and 2 the camera zoomed in when you did torture attacks, giving extra satisfaction to it. In the third game torture attacks don't feel the same. Maybe that's just me.

I love all three of these games but my favorite is bayonetta 1. I LOVE the music in this game and the combat is so much fun. I also love her outfit and hairstyle best in this game.

Bayonetta 2's my favourite of the trilogy. It's a straight upgrade from 1 in almost every way and while 3 has higher highs, it's also got lower lows and I won't spoil anything but I can't look past some of those lows. There's also a matter of preferred gameplay style here since 3 has amazing combat but changes some things I quite enjoyed, such as weapon loadouts and Torture Attacks. There is 2 more thing that struck out to me when comparing the games and that's tutorials and progression. 1 and 2 have obtrusive tutorials but they get the point across while 3 has small pop-ups that are easily missed but don't break the flow of gameplay. It's definitely a matter of personal preference but I think 1 and 2 do a better job at communicating the core mechanics, whereas 3 can blindside you if you forget to hit + as soon as a new sequence begins. Although, with how many gameplay styles 3 has, I don't think the practice voids and menus would've worked in 3 anyway. But as for progression, 1 had you buy most upgrades with some being awarded for story progression. 2 is purely store bought. And 3 is mostly story progression with a skill tree system. 3, of course, takes this by a landslide. The new abilities awarded by the skill tree are very nice and it's nice to get some story reasons as to why Bayonetta is getting some new tools. It also means you can buy items and rewards without needing to worry about having enough for vital techniques like Bat Within or After Burner Kick.

Fun video! I hate having to choose the best in a series like this, because every game is an absolute masterpiece and they all deserve to be played. However, it is fun to dissect them and see what strengths each one has over its siblings as long as no one takes it too seriously. I think the first one has the best music, because not only is it amazing, but it's key tracks are continued to be used throughout the series (Let's Dance Boys, especially) and they never get old. Also, I think if you were to have a category for graphics/art, then Bayo 2 would win that, since it's levels are more colorful and polished than 1 and 3's. The combat has been iterated and improved upon in every game, so naturally the newest game has the best combat as it has all the good stuff of its predecessors, while also adding a ton of new features and weapons. At the end of the day, it's great having a series like this where every game is a complete banger and they all bring their own charm to an amazing series.

I liked Bayo 1's weapons more than Bayo 2's but 2s combat was more forgiving for me. 3 has weapons that are as cool if not cooler than Bayo 1s and the old combat mechanics are tighter than ever, but the new mechanics are a mixed bag. I also like 3s costumes the best with 2 as a close second. The addition of changing your hair and outfit colors though is amazing and J-pop Bayo has my whole heart ❤

Bayonetta 2 is a perfect game.

Bayonetta 1 IMO is my favourite in the entire series. I played it again recently after finishing the witch trials in Bayo 3. The combat in 1 has more style and swag and it’s story is probably the best out of the three.

Bayonetta 3's Opera scene and music is effing amazing.

Bayonetta 2 for me, it has quite a simple but great story and a nice ending to boot while setting the events for bayonetta 3 to happen, genuinely loved the entire simple story and would have expected bayo 3 to go the same route but sadly it didn't

It's honestly really hard to say which Bayonetta game is the best, if you are a casual most likely bayo 2 and 3 are your favorites since the games are way less complex and hard compared to bayo 1 and the special of those two games is clearly better than bayo 1 but if you love complex combat that greatly rewards you for mastering it then bayo 1 is a clear choice it's way harder than the other games and is just so rewarding it doesn't have the problem of bayo 2 where the combat is watered down and the only way to good damage is with umbran climax or Bayonetta 3 problem of forcing you to use demon slaves to get a pure platinum. Bayonetta 1 clearly loses in the graphics but it's a game made in 2009 and with the graphics it does have its really impressive of course not better than bayo 2 but still impressive. Over all its really hard to say which Bayonetta game is the best most people hate how hard bayo 1 is for the casual player but most casual players will never want to learn the very very in depth combat while bayo 2 gets complaints from the hard-core players of the combat being really bad compared to 1 but it is a way more beginner friendly for casuals and has better graphics and honestly bayo 3 .... it's to early to decide, most hard-core players at the very least think it's better than bayo 2 since it brought back some of the deep combat and casuals seem to love demon slaves.

I loved bayo 1. To me it had the stronger story.

Bayonetta 3 is my favorite and it's not even close. The combat options are insane and it's a huge step up from the atrocity that was bayonetta 2 combat. The weapons are also amazing

I have a lot of issues with 3. I felt it was a very mixed bag. Some thing's really bugged me such as only being able to equip one weapon instead of one each for your hands and feet. It felt toned down in comparison to the older games with the gore as well. Whilst fighting the Humunculai I found myself just wishing for angels. Serious lack of inspiration when it came to the unlockable costumes in 3 like seriously disappointing. I did love Hales portrayal of the character however, every weapon was fun to play with as were the demon masquerades and I did find the ending to be pretty satisfying.

The man just gave "hair" the same value as gameplay He is a Bayonetta fan

I could see any of these games making a remake point, but I’d want to see it for Bayo 1 the most because it’s such a great title, and deserves the attention it never got. I would prefer that to a Bayo 4 tbh

Bayo 1 because passing in in all difficulties and mastering the combat was amazing

I'm really not a fan of the Demon Slave mechanic. I find that is causes way too much visual noise, and half the enemies in the game are designed so you basically can't fight them without the aid of a demon. I think Bayo's base gameplay is almost perfect and Demon Slave takes away from it.

My personal favorite in the Bayonetta series is Bayonetta 2.

In terms of combat system, Bayo 1 hands down is still the best and thats what makes me keep coming back to it. I was honestly hoping that they would go back to b1 combat and fix what they broke in 2 lol but oh well.

I'm not a hack/slash fan but I fell in love with the character/story of Bayonetta back when the 1st launched. So naturally my opinion is different, but I was very disappointed by Bayo 3. Combat is great but the story...the continuity...the lack of lore. At least as it stands now it is my least favorite. They had such rich lore that they expanded on in the first two games, kinda a shame they threw that all away.

the only thing i hate about bayonetta 3 are the contents are less, like jeanne is not available to play in every chapters like before. and there is no coop mode like in bayo 2, and the villain is kinda meh, i hope they add a patch or DLC for this and this is gonna be the best bayonetta game ever.

Bayo1 Story and combat/combo system Bayo2 Aesthetics and graphics Bayo3 Content Sorry but the combat and combo system in Bayo1 is deep, the skillceiling is the highest of the trilogy and the Jeanne boss fight is unmatched. And i can f*ing see what's happening on screen in Bayo1, I think it's kinda important in action games

Bayonetta 1 was my introduction and solidified Bayo as one among my top favorites, and is always a replay I'm willing to commit to. Still trying to get to the same point with 2, and haven't played 3 yet, so.... gotta go with 1

Bayonetta 1 always.

Never played to 1 and 2 but I bought 3 recently and I loved it a lot. I didn't enjoy to play a new game in a long time, this game is really good and I love everything about it. The demons are amazing, the fighting system too, the Jeanne game, Bayonetta's look/voice 😍 I had some very great moments. I wish it was longer maybe, the end came too soon as it was so good

Such a great and fun video!

Bayo 2 has the best story and graphics, Bayo 3 has the best everything else

Awesome video. I'm gonna play them all

Awesome video❤❤❤

If only I could take my favorite parts from each game and Frankenstein them together.

Your video was great, its exactly how a review should be, congrats and thank you for making this amaizing video 🥳🥳. Might also add that i share your opinions

Interesting analysis you made for each part, regarding the soundtrack section I'd also agree that bayo 2 is the best, my reasons is that not only seems like a nartural progression over the first game but also unlike bayo 3, all the tracks fit perfectly, don't take me wrong is not that i dislike the rock-pop style of viola but because is so different to rest of the regular soundtrack of the series it feels kinda out of place, same with those tracks that are similar to astral chain, is a nice reference but i don't feel it mix too well with the style the previous games got us used

love your take, and honestly love all three games on their own and together. I do like how each game shows Cereza getting stronger and stronger as 3 is her at the peak of her power.

I think bayonetta 1 has the best story, bayonetta 2 has the best look/hairstyle, and bayonetta 3 has the best gameplay.

I miss the angel attack

Bayonetta 1 was the best one hands down. The issue with Bayonetta 3 was its bare bones story, which what makes it the worse for me

in first i thought ur channle is very big with the way u talk u are so pro good luck bro

I'd guess most people watching this video are Bayonetta fans, so you should've talked about the things considered spoilers. And I disagree on a lot of things. Bayonetta 3 has more different environments, but they look more generic and less detailed, so I'd give the point to B2. Characters who had interesting personalities in previous games weren't presented with the same care in B3 (especially Luka) because of the rushed feeling in this game - the multiverse already starts at risk and the characters don't have enough time to interact like they did in previous games, the villain is the worst one in the series, and Viola's goofy personality didn't go down well with everybody, so I would also give the point to B2. Also, B3 is the one that runs worst, so I'd also take out one point from it. I really like B3, but it was not as much as an improvement from B2 as I hoped.

Me who understands Bayonetta 2 Lore despite never play a single Bayonetta game: "Ehe"

I just think it's bayonnetta 1 that wins this it,s just such a statement and the characters have such good arcs I just feel like the final boss was a bit lackluster

Why was "hair style" a category?... >_> and for music.... you have it to bayo 2 for moon river by didn't mention fly me to the moon in bayo when those two songs are counter parts to each other as remixes of old jazz classics, which aren't completely original soundtracks

Bayo 1 is still the one I keep coming back to years later, regardless of its flaws or how many times I've played it. Bayo 1's combat is both tight and challenging, and neither of the follow-up games fully managed to replicate that feel for me. Bayo 2 introduced some unnecessary mechanical tweaks that made the combat significantly more restrictive. Bayo 3's combat is great it its own right, but the spectacle, fun as it may be, creates way too much visual noise for my liking. The camera already struggles with mobs that include gigantic enemies, so having huge controllable summons and trying to keep track of Bayo herself really doesn't help. Story-wise, I'd say the first two games are on par with each other, especially with how the sequel fleshed out certain existing characters and created a time loop. Bayo 3 had lots of exciting ideas but didn't realize any of them to their full potential, not to mention it feeling more like a detour rather than a continuation of the series. (Viola was severely underdeveloped - her "hype" moments and the ending felt forced and unearned. Her contribution to the finale was getting slapped around by Singularity AGAIN and then being handed over Bayo's mantle for no reason. Luka being a werewolf, a faerie, AND the Arch-Adam should've been left of the cutting room floor because it bordered on fanfiction-level idiocy. Bayonetta just standing around and waiting for her variants to get killed made no sense.) When it comes to visuals, I also prefer Bayo 1 & 2. Conceptually, Bayo 3's cinematics are still crazy, but the final product lacks the oomph, and the facial animations & lip-sync somehow came out significantly worse than the original that's over a decade old. Character design-wise, I'll take the laser-sharp focus of the first two as well. Bayo 3 is a mixed bag where it seems like Platinum just mashed together every single idea they had. Sometimes it works, sometimes it looks like a jumbled mess. The conversion to 3D didn't do many of Mari Shimazaki's designs justice because a lot of her original concepts look fantastic. Bayo 3's environments essentially being these big plain arenas to accommodate for the summons is a logical sacrifice, however it gave me very unpleasant DMC2 flashbacks. I would've preferred something denser and more detailed - ideally, a happy medium between the first two games and Bayo 3. So yeah, I adore Bayo 1. Bayo 2 might've casualized the combat, but it made up for that in other areas. Given how the first two games bleed into one another, it's really hard to separate them, and I believe they should be enjoyed as one continuous story. I guess what I find extremely disappointing about Bayo 3, is that PG had all the experience, tools, and fan feedback to create the best game in the series, but unfortunately Bayo 3's highs don't offset the awful lows imo. It needed better direction and execution.

Good vid

For me it’s bayonetta 1 and 2, 3 was great but nothing compared to the first two

i feel like character and enemy design should’ve been a category. as well as boss battles and companion characters

1. 1 is the best because the gameplay is the most in depth and it's challenging as hell.

Just letting you know, it made my decision way easier. I will start with Bayo 3 and will buy Bayo 1 for 10 bucks on Ps4 later down the line. Thanks for helping me a lot^^ thrilled to play my first Bayonetta game!

For me Bayo 1 has the best story, Bayo 2 has the best design, and Bayo 3 has the best gameplay.

Bayonetta 1 is the best. It have the best combat, technically a deeper system that is more satisfying to master and play. With each iteration it became more mainstream and button smasher. Sure Bayonetta 3 have a lot of cool things you can do, but it's more casual. Story and character, both 1&2 are great. 3 was bad, there was no good dialogue or character interactions that show cased their personalities. They either act out of character or doing some cringing stuff, and not in the good fun cringe. Viola is a mix bag, people seem to hate or love her. I'm neutral, wouldn't miss her or excited if the next game feature her or not. Bayonetta 1 have the best level design and artistic direction. The color might be muted but the architect looked great, you can sense the artists' vision. Also, how some stages are set up, they created some interesting interactions and platforming that add to the experience. Bayonetta 3 have big, plain, boring, generic levels that doesn't seem to have any artistic vision. Just a bunch of random assets drop into the map. Those big maps and puzzles don't fit the game fast pace action either. Bayonetta 1 have the best enemy design, both in how they look and fight. The boss battles were memorable. The fights with Jeanne is arguably one of the best fights in gaming history. 2 have some nice fights, but 3, I don't recall anything and I just beat it the 2nd time. The enemies just felt all the same. Although the infernals that we control in 3 do look sick! I love the sound track of all 3. I like the look of Bayonetta in the first game the best. She looked more like a witch and a dominatrix. In part 3 they changed her proportion to be closer to real anatomy and her facial structure to look more cutesy. And those tik tok dance moves...I don't know. I don't hate it, but it just seem out of character.

The first one ATE SO HARD

U need to keep doing bayonetta content I'm also surprised that u have low subs I thought u had like 345k I also really live ur bayonetta content 😅

1. All the games are great 2. Jennifer Hale does a fantastic job voicing Bayonetta. Now that's out of the way.... I feel Bayo 1 was a labor of love. Game is fantastic. Still my favorite. Most originality, combat is the most challenging and the story was so wild it was groundbreaking. Bayo 2 feels like a proper follow up although I feel the combat was dulled down and the character didn't feel as edgy. Bayo 3 feels like it needed more time to develop. I'm about half way through and doesn't feel quite on par with the others

The games are ranked by themselfs, lol. 1-2-3 Pretty much

Bayonetta 3 was superb and the absolute best of the series imo. Then comes Bayonetta 1 and then Bayonetta 2, although sometimes I like 2 better because it had such a great setting and story, but there was so much anti-climatic parts in 2, I felt 1 was better overall. Combat-wise, hands down, 3 is the best, followed by 2, and then 1. Each game perfected the combat and added great additions to the mix. The variety of Demons and weapons in this game is the pinnacle. I loved Demon Slave which gave more prominence to the Demons at her disposal. For some reason, I kept forgetting about Demon Masquerade because I swear it takes long to charge that meter so I just ended up not using it and forgetting about it. But Viola's Demon Masquerade is supremely OP'd compared to Bayonettas. It almost makes the boss fights with Strider a complete cakewalk! I'm happy that 3 fixed alot of the issues I had with 2, the most important in that all of the cutscenes in 3 being actual scenes, not just still-scenes/pictures with them talking in the background, which 2 had way too much of and it really killed alot of action and impactful scenes in the game. It made me think that 2 didn't have a good budget or something. The only time 3 used the still-scenes/pictures was when Bayonetta views flashbacks of her other selves, which was good. Not to mention the level of style, excitement, design, and action choreography of the cutscenes in 3 was a much higher degree of quality than almost all of 2. I loved the Multiverse and it was a good move introducing this as it opens many doors for the series now and it perfectly fits in with the World of Chaos being well.....chaotic, which perfectly symbolizes the Multiverse. I loved the different locations this game had from Japan, to China, to Egypt, and then Paris. Seeing alternate Bayonettas, each leading different types of lives, but still kick-ass Umbras, was simply fantastic. Even the island of Thule was cool and I wish we had gotten to explore a little of the Altar of the Sky because it had a very majestic design and I liked how it had the Lumen Sage and the Umbra Witch statues and then across is the statue of Aesir within the Altar's core. All 3 Gods of the Trinity of Realities knew of the Multiverse and studied it on Thule. The story could've been a little more explored because it did feel like alot of important story elements were left out and not properly explained. I don't know if this was done on purpose or if it was convoluted to the point where they inevitably forgot/missed things. Maybe both??? Either way, Bayonetta's story was always a bit all over the place, but it was easier to understand 1 and 2's stories as opposed to 3. None the less, the story was engrossing imo and with the help of videos explaining things and having played through it 3 times, I understand it a lot better now! I don't know if this is just me, but I thoroughly enjoyed that the chapters felt longer in 3 than it did in 2. Each chapter in 3 , to me, had more content and exploration then most of the chapters in 2 and I really enjoyed exploring all the different environments. I hated how 2 had too many chapters where it was just literally 1 boss battle and then it's over, especially Chapter 6 in 2. Adding that 2 only had 16 chapters total, it made 2 feel incredibly short and cheap. I'm glad they decided not to do this again much in 3 and instead spread out the bosses more throughout the chapters. Not only did 3 have more bosses, but almost every boss battle in 3 was epic, exciting, and kept you on your toes. The only boss I felt that way about in 2 was the final Balder fight in Inferno. This game's Final Boss was incredibly epic and severely made up for the lackluster anti-climatic final boss in 2. And this game's soundtrack was the best in the series, with the Singularity Definition OST being the best final boss track in the series. Viola was a nice addition to the series, I have no issues with her and her Fairy Masquerade Rage was cool, but I still abhor her infuriating Witch Time activation! That's the only thing I don't like about her. The frame rate issues didn't bother me because this is the Switch and we all know it's not gonna give out the same stable quality as the PS4 or PS5 so, graphics and frame rate wise, this was never a problem for me. Yes I wish the game had been made for the PS4 or PS5 to get better graphics and frame rate, but I'm just grateful for Nintendo saving this franchise and allowing it to get to this awesome game being made. But if they ever released this on PS4 or PS5, I wouldn't say no to it. As for the ending, I personally loved it. The very beginning of the game showed the stakes being the highest it's ever been with Bayonetta from Viola's world getting killed by Singularity and that this game was going to be a major turning point in the series. That already told me that this wasn't going to end on a happy note with the extinction of alternate universes and Bayonettas dying all across the Multiverse being the backbone of it. What "Our Cereza" does, solo at first, in this final battle is grand and the ending was much more impactful because of it. As for Luka and her together, I have no issue with it because I never saw Jeanne as her lover, she was her sister/best friend. People saw there sexiness, innuendo, and lustful behavior as them hinting that they were in love with each other or maybe that Bayonetta was bisexual, I don't know and I don't care really. Imo, the sexiness, innuendo, and lustful behavior they express with each other is how they've always been, teasing and being proud of being sexy powerful women. You could interpret this either way you want, but whether she ended up with Jeanne or Luka, the other side would've raged and been angry so it's a lose-lose story element imo. Platinum just decided to go for Luka and that's fine with me. I also believe this game gives Luka more importance in the grand scheme of things otherwise there would be no point in him being in the series after the first game as then he would just be the comic relief character which is already Enzo so we don't really need another one. Sorry I know this is super long, but waiting 8 years for this game and having gotten to play through it 3 times now, I'm just beyond happy and satisfied with this series. I can't wait to see Bayonetta 4 in the future and I'm eager to see where and how they're gonna bring Bayonetta back. Viola saves her and Luka from Inferno or the Bayonetta from the first game's universe comes back into the mix. Who knows, but theres alot of possibilities and with the introduction to the Multiverse and Fairies, the future of the series is gonna be great!!!

I absolutely think Bayonetta 3 is the most fun when you’re Bayonetta. But I did not enjoy combat as Viola unfortunately. Also the story of Bayo 3 just wasn’t very good. Story isn’t a main reason to play a Bayonetta game, but I think Bayonetta 2 has the overall highest score for me when accounting all the elements that make a good game.

Can you still use enemy weapons in bayo 3?

to me, playing bayo 3 was a really cool experience the story has a lot of plotholes i know but for some reason playing the game felt refreshing, this happens with every game but for me in 3 it happens the most. My fav game is bayo 3 I love this bayonetta's design, i understand why people don't but for me it's gorgeous and i love it. I also like the demon masquerade and how it looks a LOT

Let’s see how you feel about calling Bayonetta 3 the best in the series in a few months.

I dunno, when I finally got Bayonetta 2 for the Switch and beat the story, I kept coming back to Bayonetta 1. There was something off about it, I couldn't put my finger on it. I wasn't sure if it was because I was so used to the PS2 controller. I'm considering, now that I beat Bayo 3's story, to go back to Bayo 2 and figure out what I may have missed.

All the Bayonetta are great games, except Viola, sorry it is not hate, it just like she is like a Boruto next generation is you know what i meant

Story - B2>B1>B3 Gameplay - B3>B2>B1 Environment - B2>B3>B1 Hairstyle - B2>B1>B3 Characters - B2>B3 >B1 Soundtrack> B2>B1>B3 Other Catagories - Camp - B1>B2>B3 Weapons - B2>B3>B1 Voice Lines - B2>B1>B3 Lewkss - B3>B2>B1 Sound Effects - B2>B1>B3 I feel like people only like 1 because thats their first game of the three theyve played so they have more affinity towards it. But I would have to disagree. 2 had a better story. I like how it tied back to 1 and it made sense to me. 1 was too generic with the amnesia aspect. 3 has best gameplay. 2 is the most visually stunning of the three. I love 2's hairstyle. She looks sexier with that short hair and that look is just beautiful. Loki was the most enjoyable side character of the three games. the soundtrack DEFINITELY goes to 2. Tomorrow Is Mine and Moon River are just God tier. I believe other categories are in play. 1 and 2 had similar campiness, although 1 has slightly more. 2 had better weapons imo. Rakshasa and Alruna are just too satisfying. I find her voice lines in 2 more memorable than the rest. 3 gave LEWWWKKKSS. 2 had the most satisfying sound efects. When you land a wicked weave, its melody to the ears. B3 flopped when it came to sound effects. Her landing big hits werent satisfying at all.

I love Bayonetta 3 That we can select area in chapter we want to play without restart from begining but I hate catch cat and crow so much lol

Bayonetta 2 in the reasoning of Tomboy Bayonetta 👍

Great video. For me, it's Bayometta 2 as it was perfect sequel and improved on the original. 3 was a bit disappointing as it was all over the place. You could tell it went through development hell. Hope there's a Bayonetta 4

Bayonetta 1 is the best 🌟

Knocking Bayonetta 2's story for requiring knowledge of the previous game is a legitimately odd complaint considering it's a direct sequel...

Bayonetta 1 - 10/10 Bayonetta 2 - 9.5/10 Bayonetta 3 - 5/10 Bayonetta 1 has the best story. Gameplay and level design in both Bayonetta 1 and 2 are perfect. Bayonetta 3 has very weak story, gameplay isn't fun and levels... they are just huge and empty.

Bayo 3 is the best for me, best story best ost and best final boss + more diversified environnements

for me: story - 1 gameplay - 3 although i miss the customizing of weapons onto hands and feet of 1 & 2 stages - 1 (loved the various gravity altered stages like in a remembrance of time and in the ithavol tower leading up to the statue of jubi - even tho i absolutely HATED falling from the sideways platforms) hairstyle - definitely 3 soundtrack - 1 (2 is more cohesive sounding, but 1 has iconic songs that don’t need to be cohesive and still slap individually with mysterious destiny and fly me to the moon - also love how mysterious destiny is basically just narrating the story of bayonetta lol) runtime - 1 i found myself taking so long to complete everything especially the alfheims and umbran tears crows and don’t get me started on the witch trails or whatever they were called - i also found myself actually ENJOYING grinding for HOURS to get that 100% while in 2 it felt less satisfying and in 3 feels like an absolute CHORE bonus category (mini bosses) - 1 loved beating up beloveds bonus category (bosses) - 1 fighting the cardinal virtues was so epic bonus category (hidden boss) - 2 rodin in his demon form was almost impossible to beat (haven’t fought rodin in bayo 3 yet so i may change my answer once i do) bonus category (final boss) - 1 jubileus was an epic battle i enjoyed bonus category (demon summons) - 3 demon slave expands on the summons in 1 & 3 bonus category (weapons) - 2 the lightning hammer and triple scythe were so satisfying to use bonus category (costumes) - 1 now this was tough AF cause teenage witch in training Bayo and egyptian bayo oh and casual skinny jeans and pink knit sweater bayo from 3 are my new favorites along with the default costume BUT 2 had epic looks like the belly dancer look, the devil wings and tail, the japanese sun goddess look, and who could forget the dress and hat combos from the beginning and end scenes BUT in 1 we have the cute elemental cat ears and tail, the ice skating look, the bdsm look, the nun outfit, the karate look which i absolutely LOVE, but the Witch Queen look takes the cake and the fact that you can mix and match perfumes with your weapons to stack multiple costume changes just tips the scales to a fun win for 1 with all that variety so in conclusion the best game in my opinion is bayo 1 however bayo 3 is definitely a great runner up & bayo 2 is a LOVELY second alternate. forget bronze, silver, and gold; these games are pure platinum, platinum, and gold! they’re all so good!!!

“umbran climax is balanced”

I have to say 1 just because that's the only one I have and played

I love them all so much but Bayo 1 just feels like the purest form of Bayo when it comes to combat and style. I like things about 2 like color and how insane some of the fights are. 3 feels like a baby’s first hack and slash imo but I still like it a lot minus Viola. But fr if Bayo 4 playslike what playing Viola plays like then I’ll just have to check out of the series lol.

Good job. Still watching these after beating it and this should be mandatory viewing for picky buyers.

Fly Surprised you don't mention Moon River is a remix, personally I prefer the original music to the remixes. Still great music but the original songs appeal a lot more.

its okay to lie and be wrong! 😊

Nah. Bayo 2 and 3 are very good games in their own right, but Bayo 1 is such a masterpiece.

Bayonetta 2 for me without a doubt. Perfect blend of good story, gameplay and difficulty (unlike 3!)

Not to dis anyone but when I played bayo 1 and 2 I had no idea what was going on and didn’t care for anyone. So I still kinda get surprised people like it at all. Not saying stories in this series is bad but it’s kinda just there.

Bayonetta 2 is my favorite. The Graphics of that look colorful and amazing. The Love is Blue Guns look awesome. Rodin's Boss fight like "OH DEAR GOD." cus he has an attack that can take out all of your health giving you 1 hp. (Even though he had this ability like the first game) I love the enemies in this game. Though the story was.. alright. But I love the game. Bayonetta 3 was good and Bayonetta 1 was awesome. I am a really big Bayonetta fan and I love the three games. Idc what people say. I always will have fun playing those games

Damn I’m actually surprised with the amount of stuff bayo 3 won here. A lot of people complain

The best song in my opinion is we are as one

I agree Bayonetta 3 gameplay wise is the best. But Bayonetta 1 in my personal opinion is the best game in the series the atmosphere and story, characters just general gameplay so satisfying

What about fly me to the moon and the other 2 bayonetta 3 ones

I really dislike bayo 2 for the numerous changes that change it implemented in regards to shorter witchtime, the ability for enemy to dodge out of it, forced to use umbran climax etc but I loved the lower use of QuickTime.

I've been playing Bayonetta for dozens of hours per game since Devil May Cry 1 was brand new on PS2. Bayo 3 is the best. I will watch this video later to see what they thought tho

i agree with everything except the music tbh. i think they all have great osts overall but bayo 3 had more consistent hits to me than bayo 1 and 2 which basically only gave me like 6 songs i wanted to listen to a lot. Splash wave and space harrier climax mixes, mysterious destiny, fly me to the moon, tomorrow is mine, and ofc moon river. these are all great songs but outside of these the rest of the songs in those 2 games are quite unmemorable to me. in bayo 3 though we get ghost, rosas entire bossfight theme, try to stop me, Al Fine, get to the climax, moonlight serenade, sneaking mission, and the list just goes on. maybe not as breathtaking as moon river but way more consistent which i greatly appreciate

While I do think that Byo 3 is a bit more flawed than the first two in terms of writing and gameplay, I still loved it so much. It's a fantastic Trilogy and I love each entry in their own way. If I HAD to rank them, I would propably put them in release order from best to "least amazing" lol

I have not played 3 myself so feel free to correct me if I am wrong but in all the promotion videos of 3 I can find as well as when watching play-troughs I can’t shake the feeling that the combat system feels more like dmc than bayonetta! Don’t get me wrong it’s not a bad combat system and button mashing games are popular for a reason but the thing that I really liked with 1 and 2 is how different and fresh it feels compared to other games in the genre… The way those two games encourages the use of “heavy”/ “charged” (what they would be called in other games) attacks in combination with dodge offsets that continues the combos was just so good! They are practically the only fighting games where I would willingly choose slower weapons and where it felt worth it to keep my distance rather than long ranged attacks feeling weak and cowardly (not looking at 3 just other games within the genre in general)… Could someone tell me if my impressions are misguided or if the gameplay in 3 really has taken a 180 degrees turn (for better or worse) into something that is more “mainstream”??

Bayonetta is a classic Bayonetta 2 I only love Alraune and Inferno, good game Bayonetta 3 sucks and wasn't worth the wait.

Bayonetta one by far trumps all of them In the sense that it’s the most coherent. The combat mechanics are so clean, the visuals hold up quite well, the bosses were so well done and executed, the music was amazing (I cannot stand tomorrow is mine sorry), and it makes you care about all the characters, not just some

You do you mate, but I disagree. The best for me is bayonetta 2

good vid
