While it’s impossible to say how Bayonetta 3 will measure up to the first two games, it at least seems to possess just as much heart. At one point, she wanders into a store that references another Platinum game, The Wonderful 101. When Bayonetta stands still for more than a few seconds, she’ll pull out a compact and start admiring herself.

The game is also full of delightful little details that make a big impression. Bayonetta 3 has clearly not lost the series’ signature sense of humor. The Japanese army stormed the fashion district of Shibuya to fight the beast, just like in an old Godzilla movie. Gamora used a pair of boats as waterskis and jetted under bridges to pursue the monster. Bayonetta summoned Gamora, a giant demon, to square off against an equally monstrous foe that resembled an angular rhinoceros. And Bayonetta still sports a chic set of handguns: a shiny purple matched set called Colour My World.Īs the demo progressed, I had to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.
Getting to choose which demons augment your combos is a big selling point in Bayonetta 3, although the storyline will sometimes restrict which ones you can use.ĭodging enemy attacks at the last minute still opens up “Witch Time,” which gives you a few seconds to pummel the enemies without worrying about counterattacks. I strung together punches, kicks and gunshots, and ended long combos by summoning one of two demons to dish out additional damage. It wasn’t long before she was leaping from track to track, chasing down her enemies in a high-speed pursuit as a cheery pop tune played in the background.Ĭombat here feels similar to the first two Bayonetta games. In my Bayonetta 3 demo, things kicked off with Bayonetta squaring off against a host of demons in a subway car. The game’s tone strikes the perfect balance between “epic adventure” and “total farce,” and playing as a character like Bayonetta is the perfect way to experience it.
But in practice, Bayonetta is a positively delightful character, with an offhand attitude toward saving the world and a clever quip for any situation.
