Bayonetta sia come titolo e sia come serie è stata segnata da un destino decisamente anomalo. Il primo capitolo uscito qualche anno fa, fu acclamato dalla critica e dal pubblico come un capolavoro, il miglior action della generazione e nuovo punto di riferimento per tutti i titoli che sarebbero...

Il top degli action; Battle system incredibile; Livello di difficoltà ben calibrato

Fisica di gioco vecchia; La co-op poteva essere molto migliore

Every aspect of feels polished and focused. At times, the writing feels ridiculous, but I still love how it plays. The superb pacing and combat are just that good. By the end I was convinced: This sequel builds on everything that made the original great, and delivers one of the most satisfying...

Excellent combat; Cool unlocks; Great pacing; Art design; Enemy variety

Unlikely though it once seemed, the sassy witch with the killer heels/hair combo is back, 100% exclusive to Wii U. First-off, let me reassure the original's many fans that nothing's been dumbed down compared to the original Bayonetta .

Beautiful and massively versatile fighting system; Looks absolutely sensational; especially in the latter half; Immense replay value thanks to ranking system; Excellent online co-op side mode

Fights can get so busy you can't make out what's happening; The pacing is poor for much of the game's first half

Bayonetta 2 never strives to be anything less than the purest, rarest kind of action-game experience, one that values skill, reaction times, and sheer spectacle over all else--realism and storytelling be damned.

Stunningly deep; yet accessible combat system; Outrageous boss battles; Relentless; action-packed pacing; Gorgeous visuals and character design; A bevy of unlockables; challenges; and secrets to uncover

The sad realisation that future action games may never top this

Conceptually, 2010's Bayonetta is a very difficult character to describe. She's a centuries old witch with the demeanor of a sexy librarian, wears guns on her feet as high heels, and dons a skintight suit made out of her own hair, which itself leaves her body to become giant hair monsters that fight...

" Bayonetta 2 " is the sequel everyone expected: a confident re-introduction to one of gaming's coolest heroines. It's upbeat, intense and constantly climactic without ever giving a second for the player to be bored.

Bayonetta 2 is a relentlessly entertaining ride from start to finish, with pacing meticulously designed to wring every last drop of adrenaline out of you before reigning things in with a quiet, humorous aside.

It's rare to have a game prove its greatness in the loading screen. But Bayonetta did. While waiting for the level to load, some dark programming magic allowed you to practice different attack combos, with a counter to show which moves you hadn't tried yet.

It's been four years since Bayonetta came out, and given how much of a veritable romp it was – it was hard to believe that Platinum could ever top what they did with the game. Further titles they put out, including Metal Gear Rising and Wonderful 101, managed to do just as good a job, if not better...

Bayonetta 2 is a smart, confident sequel that knows exactly what it wants to be. It takes a long hard look at the original game, keeping everything sacred intact while deftly cleaving off any and all excess. Every chapter bursts with spectacle and every boss fight thrills.
