I'm happy to report that this version of the game is fantastic, tons of options, runs excellently even at 4K and beyond, and it runs well on older hardware. The game itself is incredibly enjoyable, with virtually perfect controls, stunning art direction and it doesn't take itself too seriously which was a breath of fresh air during its original 2010 release on Xbox 360 (and a terrible PS3 version, then a Wii U version in 2014!). The price on Steam as of this review is $19.99/£14.99, and I'd say it's definitely worth it at that price, or you could wait for a sale if you prefer, but definitely check this game out at some point, especially if you are a fan of hack and slash games, as this is a stellar example of one.… Expand

There are so many things I could get into, but to keep it short -- Bayonetta, to me, is a brilliantly crafted experience that's fun, sassy, and fast-paced with surprising layers of depth. Even though I'm not a fan of hack and slash games, Bayonetta is a huge exception in my catalogue of all time favorites because it is so much MORE than just your ordinary H&S experience. First of all, the art direction & character designs are off the charts genius and so well done that you'll quickly become engrossed in the story which, imo, is fantastic and deeper than what one might think at first glance. This is a journey of a woman becoming a fearless & strong warrior with one of the major themes being motherhood, love, and faith in oneself. And yet, the game doesn't takes itself too seriously as you concoct magical lollipops, collect halos, and listen to some of the finest one liners ever uttered in a video game. Bayonetta is not only one of the best video games ever made, but she's also one of my all time favorite video game characters. And that's a huge feat! The game is highly addictive and very replayable. It also has some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard, especially during the Vigrid / Paradiso segments. If you haven't played this gem, don't wait no more and go play Bayonetta. You won't regret it.… Expand

   Bayonetta
   One of the most ridiculous games ive ever played

   One of the most ridiculous games ive ever played
   Bayonetta is a hack and slash game where you play as a half dark half light witch bayonetta after a gem known as the right eye
   And while this game isn’t free of problems, it was great finally seeing what all of the fuss is about…
   This hack and slash games brought so much joy for me with its random and ridiculous humor and story telling..
   I ended up loving every character I came across in this game..
   The playfulness here is what makes this otherwise just okay game so great…
   The gameplay isn’t anything special and level design isn’t anything special either…
   The game is pretty linear with the ocassional forcing you to dodge a light to freeze time so you can walk on water or break a wall..
   but for the most part this is very much a barebones version of God of War…
   there will be walls that go up that wont come down until you hack and slash your way through all of the enemies…
   the combat is swift and fun, though not too satisfying, but youre able to fill up a meter to torture your enemies for an instakill as well as pick up their weapons which do a great deal of damage but break fairly quickly.. and the enemies drop these haloes that you can trade for new moves, items, and weapons…
   And finishing an area will cause the game to take a snapshot of usually your vag, cause japan….
   And randomly on your journey youll run into crazy huge bosses that you take down with your hair…
   because of course you do…
   your hair covers your body so while using it.. it isn’t quite covering your body as much anymore..
   I found each boss battle to be fun and engaging, and I found all 9 hours of this game to be perfectly paced for the most part…
   The progression is very linear here, and there are a few really cool cinematic moment to keep the game feeling fresh throughout..
   it never becomes predictable, it will introduce and drop mechanics all the time
   it keeps the game fun and stops it from ever feeling like a chore…
   Where pacing did become a problem for me though is with the vehicle based missions… there are few sprinkled in here.. and theyre fun at the start.. but they drag on for what feels like forever..
   less is more and that definitely should’ve been the case here.. these levels get uninteresting quickly and bring the rest of the perfectly paced game down…
   aside for the poorly paced vehicle missions, my biggest issue with this game is its collectibles..
   Theyre all over the place but they pause the game every single time you pick one up..
   I understand this game is from 2009.. but still.. its annoying and frequent…
   it almost discouraged me from picking them up completely..
   Bayonetta Is one of the few games that gets praise today that actually deserves it…
   Despite the annoying collectibles that break the flow of the game.. Bayonetta is a sexually charged game of joy and heart,
   youre guaranteed to smile at least 42 times while playing..
   I give Bayonetta
   an 8/10… Expand

   It's DMC, except that it's actually Bayonetta. A hack and slay action title that no thrillseeker should miss. Eventually it's all about buttonIt's DMC, except that it's actually Bayonetta. A hack and slay action title that no thrillseeker should miss. Eventually it's all about button smashing and a great sense of humor. On PC the camera can be a bit unsteadily at times and some elements of the game still seem outdated. But I highly recommend it.… Expand

   This game just shows how rusty my reflex are in terms of dodging and quick time events and I could pity some of that from the hitboxes. Addition to that, are the invisible barriers that somehow messed up your camera while doing a combo.
   
   Other than my excuses, It was a remarkable hack n' slash game that rewards player for doing well in every encounter. A satisfying roster of boss fight that is unique and fun.
   
   I'm willing to give it a better score, but the appeal just doesn't click for me. Evidently being a Japanese developed game, I feel like they go over the top in term of style. I can see that being a good thing for others but not for me. In the end, It'll comes down to our individual taste.… Expand

   The enemies are different and fight them in different ways, some with the sword, some with the gun and some with the blue and red lightning weapon, fighting with a sword is beautiful close to devil may cry , is seem creator Hideki Kamiya
