Bayonetta, a name that is highly popular in the video game world, is back for the third installment of the series. We first learn about her in the first game, “Bayonetta,” released on Oct. 29, 2009. She was known as the witch with no memories trying to put the pieces together of who she is while fighting the angels of Paradiso and battling a frenemy.
After realizing the power she possessed, she takes on a new adventure in “Bayonetta 2,” released on Sept. 20, 2014. While traditionally battling angels with her best friend Jeane, a summon goes wrong with one of her demonic darlings. This causes the demon to turn on them and knock Jeane’s soul into Inferno. Bayonetta now must find her best friend lost in Inferno while battling angles and demons and saving the world all on one plate.
Moreover, “Bayonetta 3” was one of the most highly anticipated games of 2022 and was sending pre-orders at the uttermost rate. Everything about it is fresh and lively. The fact that we see how vulnerable she has become is astonishing. She is known as the tough heroine that will stop at nothing to reach her goal.
Her fighting style is traditionally her and, as in every game, she has a new set of guns for battle. This time they are named Color My World. The outfit was uncertain at first, but realizing it was a call to the first game when she was a child made complete sense and immediately became a favorite.
The storyline will have your jaw dropping, tears flowing and anticipation for the new generation of the Umbran Witches. The third game is multiverse based where you meet various Bayonettas helping you to save the world before it is destroyed by the Homunculi. “Bayonetta 3” is exclusively available on the Nintendo Switch, and one can say that it was a great idea. The graphics are clean and sharp except for moments where there are giant battles, like fighting a giant bio project in the middle of a tidal wave washing through New York City.
A player who has never played a Bayonetta game before will find it very easy to maneuver. The title screen and main menu gives you very clear instructions on what to do next. As a huge fan of the game, it took a daring and bold route with it paying off greatly. One can confidently say that Bayonetta will never die. The legacy is set in stone, and the Umbra will never fail.
