“This game is just plain fun. One day Bayonetta 2 needs to brung to Steam (sadly Ninty owns rights to that IIRC)”
“The gameplay in Bayonetta mainly consists of combat. Bayonetta can basically equip any combinations of weapons on her hand and feet and you have one attack button for "hand" attack and one for "feet" attack. The combat…”

“Brutal brutal brutal. I love this game, the character, the story, all of it, but the constant brutality of the mechanics and demands to never EVER GET HIT from lightning-fast moves and instant-death quicktime events…”
“I LOVE this series. The four weapon gameplay with light attacks on your hands/arms and heavies on your feet/legs makes for an accessible but still dynamic combat system that never feels bland or obtuse. Witch Time makes…”
“Spectacular, everything. Although I played utter ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, the cutscenes, the combat, the bosses were all incredibly fun. Especially the cutscenes, almost too distracting at times that I forget to dodge an attack right…”

“Things I liked: ‣ Easy combat. ‣ Really strong music/OST. ‣ Decent story. ‣ Very interesting characters. ‣ Tight, responsive combat. ‣ Lots of unexpectedly funny moments. ‣ Highly replayable. ‣ Feels similar to Stellar…”
“Simply amazing! This was my DMC-like game and the presentation and story just kept me glued to the screen until I saw the end credits. Only thing I didn't like is the way enemies are hard to read, especially with how…”

“[h2]Nota Geral | Overall Rating[/h2] ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ [b]Bayonetta é, sem dúvida, um dos melhores hack and slash já feitos. O jogo entrega uma experiência frenética e extremamente polida, onde o foco total é no combate e no…”
“This is a good game but it's so difficult that it makes you get better at the game the more you re-try sections in the game”

“[i] Now that I have completed the game 100%, I will put Bayonetta in the category of games that I never completed because of its complexity, that is, a feeling; lack of patience, reflexes or simply because I did not…”

“This game will absolutely punish you for playing poorly. If you button mash or spam the same combos, you’ll get lower scores and miss out on better weapons and techniques. If you enjoy Devil May Cry, you’ll feel right…”

“I absolutely adore the combat in this game... camera angles could have been better which is my least favourite part maybe a remake is required to fix that but the story is fun and confusing, the combat is fast and…”

“using bayonetta's peep toes as a foreskin guillotine so she can wicked weave it off (mazel tov) it's a sick game i wish one third of it wasn't the most abject sections imaginable”

“One of the best action games of all time. Unfortunately bogged down by some frustrating parts like insta kill QTEs and terrible minigames. However the gameplay is just so good that it makes up for those flaws”

“Its literally just DMC but girl version and I wouldnt want it any other fcking way twin”
— a player, Steam review · 17 hrs played“Bayonetta was forged in an era where developers still focused on the perfect mix of Art and Fun and didn't fill each game with a thousand of unneeded DLC to puff out their wallets even more or begged for money with aimless Early Access sh*t. Let's celebrate a time mostly lost…”
— a player, Steam review · 11 hrs played“After 3-4 attempts to complete the game, I finally did it, haha. I regret that I couldn't master it during the ps3 era, but even now, I wasn't very good at parrying. I have never been able to learn how to play, the game is very hard, I am used to casual MGR:R/ (ﾒ` ﾛ ´)︻”
