Both games took me about 18 hours each to finish. It should be noted that I received much better ratings in the second game than the first, despite not really having any chance to improve my skills.

Simple yet engaging combat; rock-solid presentation; dominant female lead

Plot is kind of nonsense; some might find Bayonetta too sexualized

One of the most over-the-top and salacious protagonists in gaming is back in a brand new time-traveling story that will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning through to its climax… if for no other reason than because you're wondering what's actually going on in the story.

Bayonetta was a cult hit when it first came out on the Xbox 360 and PS3 platforms. Its burlesque hero and over the top action was a huge assault on casual action game enthusiasts. Never the less, Bayonetta found her devoted audience, and over time more people discovered the game.

If you like this type of game this is a given purchase, clearly among the best in the genre. Was also awarded "Game of the Year" in 2014 by, among others Destructoid. + Fat Boss Fights + Hard enough to be a challenge but still playable + Very unlock.

With its excellent combat and spectacular set-pieces, the Wii U's Bayonetta 2 will rightly make PS4 and Xbox One owners green with jealousy
