Bayonetta 3

Bayonetta 3 is PlatinumGames' most maximalist and ambitious entry in the beloved stylish action franchise — a game of relentless spectacle, creative madness, and absolutely bonkers combat scenarios. The dimensional multiverse concept introduces Bayonetta's from alternate dimensions with dramatically different visual styles and playstyles, and the new Demon Slave mechanic lets Bayonetta summon and directly control her Infernal Demons — enormous monsters like Gomorrah and Malphas — to fight alongside her in battles of enormous scale. The tone is pure PlatinumGames exuberance: absurdist, over-the-top, and delighting in its own excess at every moment. New protagonist Viola adds a sword-and-counter playstyle that provides contrast to Bayonetta's signature witch-time dodge flow. While the multiverse story and emotional ending generated passionate fan debate, Bayonetta 3's pure action game credentials are beyond dispute. An unforgettable ride.
