    A sequel that just keeps on giving

    I was one of those people that missed out first time round in playing Bayonetta 2 since I never owned a Nintendo Wii U and knowing that it would never be released on other platforms, loved the first game for what it was ... Read Full Review

What Gamespot Users have to say about Bayonetta 2

  • Rating:7

    Bayonetta 2 is more polished than its predecessor but is still missing a strong story.

    The original Bayonetta, which I played on the Switch, was a fun stylized action game that lacked an engaging story that I love in other similar games, such as Devil May Cry. While the game looked like it was missing some... Read Full Review

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

    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 ... Read Full Review

    A blast to play, but not as memorable as the first

    It was strange that Nintendo would pick up an M rated property, especially one that is as sexualized and gory as Bayonetta. The original game put Platinum Games on the map as a great hack and slash developers. The game ... Read Full Review

    Bayonetta 2 is the perfect blend of action and pacing in a videogame!!

    Bayonetta 2 just like Bayonetta 1, is an action game that has you playing as a female protagonist who has great sexual appeal and is naked most of the time. The story is laid out fairly simple right off the bat, you have... Read Full Review

    Eccentricity That Approaches Indulgence

    The eccentric production values, cut scenes, dialog and plot work well to a point. The director has used these elements well to frame the action well, though the repetition of 1) story (cut scene), 2) mild exploration, a... Read Full Review

    Utter perfection.

    For a game to earn a 10/10 review by Gamespot is such a rarity that when I found out Bayonetta 2 received that honor, I reserved it immediately, despite never having even heard of the series. Never have I regretted this ... Read Full Review
