![]() ![]() I’ll go as far as to say, though, that Bayonetta 3 remains one of the most stunning games on Nintendo Switch. However, Bayonetta 3 does tend to get overambitious leading to frame drops and performance issues that may cause you to lose your cool at times. ![]() But there’s yet another more annoying graphics technicality called frame rates.įor the most part, the frame rate is a steady 60fps. Some gamers may also prefer controlling Bayonetta throughout the game. There’s nothing annoying like a huge demon blocking your screen. Because of the giant demon summons introduced to this game, Bayonetta is now a micro-sized character you can’t quite see clearly in some areas without squinting your eyes.Īgainst the massively huge demon beasts, she’s but like a fairy, like Tinker Bell, ironically the all-powerful protagonist we’re relying on to save the multiverse. And even with its limitations, Bayonetta 3 still manages to work around them to create a memorable action-adventure ranking as high as God of War, Devil May Cry, and the Batman Arkham games.īut perhaps the new game stretched the Nintendo Switch’s limits a little too thin. On one hand, Bayonetta 3 doesn’t come to play when it comes to its unique sense of style, playfulness with a concept of sexiness (which you can now choose to censor), and the overwhelmingly diverse environments, from ancient islands to urban streets to China-themed lava, so much so that you couldn’t ever tell what you would run into next.Īlso, it’s no secret that the Nintendo Switch is quite limited in its hardware capabilities. Newcomers won’t need to play catch-up to jump on this one, so yay.īefore we get to what’s most exciting, I’ve got to review the graphics, which have two sides to them. The “I’m just here for support” claim is warranted in Bayonetta games, except that the previous games put in so much thought while developing their fictional plots that creating this new standalone ends up feeling pretty rushed. Save for the bomb-ass premise, the rest of the plot is just a whole lot of mess. From Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, of course. Wait, but where did the multiverse even come from? Oh, I know. Okay, but why and how are these Homunculi here? Apparently, these Homunculi are man-made, so maybe some very bad person has some motive to destroy the multiverse or their creations just went rogue, killing everyone on Earth, except our protagonists, of course, and proceeding to lay waste to other realities as well for the rest of the game. Should we just assume that Angels and Demons are no longer threats because, well, the city just collapsed in on itself? Yes, we should. Now that all that's out of the way, you’re probably expecting a whole lot more. Though don’t let her hard-exterior fool you. We’re also introduced to a new playable character, Viola, with a punk vibe, who's also from another reality. The multiverse then proceeds to lay itself on thick with the multiple other variants of Bayonetta herself – all voiced really, really well, I must say, with their distinct nuances and attitudes – all running into each other from across different realities because the reality they know is facing the same Homunculi threat and slowly but surely descending into chaos. And not by the previous games’ angels/demons dynamic, but by this new threat to the multiverse called Homunculi donning their drippy blue forms and green-glowing butts. Just the right premise to get your teeth sunk in. Homunculi, Everywhere, All at Once” special incorporating the pretty much strung-dry multiverse universe – not that I’m complaining, especially after I’ve definitely wanted to see more diverse environments dashed with that Bayonetta spectacle all over the game’s chapters.īayonetta, the strong, confident, sexy, butt-kicking, havoc-wreaking (throws some more adjectives deserving of this iconic witch), is getting beat down. Which, let’s face it, the chaos of it all is probably one of the top must-haves any Bayonetta fan wants to add to the recipe.Īs with most gaming titles and films these days, this one’s an “Umbra Witch vs. Right off the bat, Bayonetta 3 throws you to the wolves of what the Bayonetta series is all about. So, did they? Did Platinum Games bite off more than they could chew? Exactly how worthwhile is Bayonetta 3 ? Let's find out in this Bayonetta 3 review. For far too many moments than I’d care to admit, I’d had the feeling that Platinum Games had taken on more than they could handle. Then came the long wait for Bayonetta 3, which was just about the most difficult to picture how Platinum Games could match up to or succeed over the unstoppable. ![]() But Platinum Games did it flawlessly with Bayonetta 2 in 2014. When Bayonetta first came out in 2009, it was difficult to imagine how Platinum Games or any other action-adventure developer could top that. ![]()
