Bayonetta Hits the Climax

 After playing Bayonetta for the first time at the end of 2020, I was enamored at such a remarkable game that I had neglected to play for so long. The gameplay, characters, setting, and music all hit on these highpoints as a game that deserves to be played by those that love high-octane action with style. Bayonetta hit all those notes that something like Devil May Cry never really could for me. Recently, I have finished Bayonetta 2 for the first time. And it hit all the right notes that the first game did. A fun as hell game that many people might miss with it being on the Nintendo Switch and Wii U while being cursed with a lack of discounting that many first-party Nintendo games face.

Bayonetta 3 is supposed to drop later this year, but I wish that the second and third games would release on other platforms because this second game is such a gem. From the introduction of the co-op feature to the remix of Moon River as this game's Fly Me to the Moon, Bayonetta 2 is truly a remarkable game that gets me excited for the future of Bayonetta. It feels a little concerning knowing that this series may never make it back out of this exclusive territory, yet it is reassuring to know that this series still lives. When Bayonetta 3 does come out, I hope that it evolves in the same way that Bayonetta 2 has for the series as a game involved with the DNA, but strutting off its own style and hitting that climax.
