Review: 'Bayonetta 3' manages to turn up action way beyond 11


'Bayonetta 3' is a game that starts with a bang and just keeps sprinting forward as it brings in a mysterious entity called Singularity, which has been going around the multiverse destroying alternate realities and fusing them with his own world — the Alphaverse. — Screengrab from YouTube

Bayonetta has always been a little extra. It’s a franchise that has dazzled gamers with a hypnotic blend of combat and level design, but what makes the series stand out is its distinct brand of action.

Calling it over the top would be criminal because so much more is going on. Yes, the Umbran witch rides a missile with ease, surfs tsunami waves on an ocean liner and exudes calm as she battles enemies while a temple crumbles around her. All that is impressive but her punches, kicks and gunplay are laced with an effervescent style that can’t be found in any other game. Bayonetta will pummel her foes clad in high heels while dancing with smile.
