Bayonetta 2 Reviews
Even after all these years, Bayonetta 2 on the Nintendo 2 is still a very fun experience with a great gaming engine, exceptional graphics and a female protagonist that will make you laugh and also give you a healthy dose of controller rage.
The original Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 are still magnificent nowadays, and the Nintendo Switch version succeeds to allow you to re-experience them on the latest console, even in a portable way. If you are a fan of action games but haven't tried the original version before, don't hesitate to buy the bundle. They might be the greatest action games until the releases of God of War 4 or Bayonetta 3.

Yes, there's some weak voice acting (Loki, we're looking at you), some pretty straightforward level design and a few too many gratuitous pieces of camera work. But mechanically, Bayonetta 2 steps into the original's heels and somehow looks even better in them. A near-perfect action game, then, and a irrefutable reason to own a Wii U.
Bayonetta 2 is bigger, faster, crazier, and prettier than the original, and is very much deserving of your time.
Despite the looming question about how well Bayonetta 2 will fare on the Nintendo Wii U, there is one thing for certain–if you're a fan of the series and own the console, you're in for a wild ride that will keep you stimulated for plenty of hours. It's absolutely a pure Bayonetta game, it's an absolute blast to play, and it absolutely belongs on Nintendo's growing roster of excellently crafted games for the Wii U.
This isn't just the best action title on the Wii U, it's the best and most blissfully entertaining action game that's been released in this entire generation so far.
Own a Wii U? Buy Bayonetta 2. Don't own a Wii U? Buy a Wii U.
Bayonetta 2 sets the new standard for Character-Action games to come; it is a true modern classic, and a testament to videogaming as a whole.
Bayonetta 2 is perhaps the single greatest reason to own a Wii U.
Bayonetta 2 is perfect on all levels that supports a flawless gaming engine, exceptional graphics and kick-ass female protagonist
There were doubts about the handover from Kamiya to Hashimoto, but Bayonetta 2 takes them and fills with barrel after a few minutes of playing. This is definitely the best action of the current generation and overcoming it will be immensely difficult for anyone who comes next.

Bayonetta 2 is a declaration to the Demons of Inferno, and the Angels of Paradiso that Bayonetta is here to stay. The second game in the series takes the stylistic action of the first game and turns the dial to 10. The game features new weapons, breathtaking set pieces, and new features that solidify Bayonetta as the Queen!
Platinum Games shining star from the days of the Wii U has made a huge comeback now that it's on the Nintendo Switch. With a heavy amount of action, a nearly 60fps experience, and huge replay value, Bayonetta 2 is right at home on the Switch. Fans of the game will fall in love all over again, while newcomers will be in for a massive treat.
Bayonetta 2 expresses a meticulous devotion to excessive elaborateness of style and action. It's a calculated brawler that not only minds its rules with painstaking diligence, but trusts its operator with how to best interpret them. The delicate engineering of merciless destruction has long been Platinum Games' modus operandi, and Bayonetta 2 is the purest and most potent declaration of their intentions.
Bayonetta 2 has not suffered with the passage of time and this epic action game remains one of the finest examples of its kind. Featuring the same breathtaking gameplay and incredible action sequences, Bayonetta 2 on the Switch provides an even more complete experience compared to the original thanks to its newfound possibility of playing it everywhere. A real gem that should be in everyone's library.

Years after its inital release, Bayonetta 2 keeps on delivering. It is still the best beat them all you can play at this time, the most beautiful, the craziest, the most generous. And the fact it's now playable wherever and whenever you want doesn't make it less essential, on the contrary.

Overall, I cannot recommend Bayonetta 2 enough, this is a game that every Nintendo enthusiast and gamer should have in their collection. This game is a technical achievement in game design and has the pacing of classic video games that have defined a generation such as Ocarina of Time and Resident Evil 4. Bayonetta looks great, sounds great, and plays great. It's without a doubt, one of the greatest action games in the past decade.
Despite being a three-plus-year-old port, Bayonetta 2 shines brightest on Nintendo Switch. It runs without a hitch at 60fps, looks incredible in both TV and tabletop modes and offers an addictive free-flowing combat formula that sprinkles in platforming, light exploration and a ridiculous story to create something that you simply need to experience. If you've never played it for before, you're in for a treat. If you've already played it, it's even more bewitching as a handheld gem.
Bayonetta 2 for Switch is easily one of the best ports that has received the console. Yeah, its the same game that we already played on the Wii U and it doesnt offer anything new aside from the amiibo functionality. However, this is not something necesarelly bad because it is still the great, awesome and hectic action game we loved but in a portable version. Even those who have own the first version need to add this fantastic title to their Switch library.
