One of the most stunning improvements I've ever seen in a sequel.

User Rating: 10 | Bayonetta 2 NS

You can see it on my page, but I just posted my review of the first "Bayonetta" game and I gave it a 9 out of 10. I thought it was a pretty awesome game that's aged pretty well 10 years later. Now, keep that in mind for a second: I gave that game a 9 out of 10, you got that? Now, I want to think about the worst action game you've ever played. Anything. You have one? Good. Now, consider this: after I played "Bayonetta 2," I had to say this, and some may disagree, but here it is: "Bayonetta 2" makes the first "Bayonetta" game, a 9 out of 10 game, in my eyes, look like that absolutely awful action game that you're thinking of right now. That's how fantastic "Bayonetta 2" is.

The sequel that may not have happened had it not been for Nintendo, "Bayonetta 2" may be one of the finest action games of all time, and it's definitely gonna be remembered as a highlight of the eighth generation. The visuals are vibrant and gorgeous, and the story brings even more of the campy fun of the first game (with some more high stakes and badass action as well). The gameplay remains very smooth and the boss battles are even more exciting than before, and the combat system has been improved in many ways to be faster, more fluid and much deeper than before. Furthermore, despite the relatively short length of the game, there's a lot of stuff to collect and do here. I really cannot complain about a thing with the game even if I tried, "Bayonetta 2" is the rare sequel to an already great game that not only outdoes its predecessor, but runs circles around said predecessor to the point where it makes the old game look like total garbage. This is a game that everyone should experience and, now that it's on the Switch and plays at 60 FPS...what the hell are you waiting for? Go buy this game!!!!!

Final rating: 10 out of 10 "Fantastic"
