Even though our review of Bayonetta 3 has been online since last Tuesday, it’s only starting today that the latest from Platinum Games is available on Nintendo Switch. Suddenly, we are entitled to a launch trailer in which the developers slipped in some very nervous gameplay sequences to show several things. First that the Umbra witch has lost none of her class and that she can summon demons with the snap of her fingers. What should also be remembered is the possibility of embodying Viola, a witch who is still in the learning phase, which explains certain constraints in terms of mechanics. Finally, we see that if it is no longer possible to equip weapons to the hands or to the feet, Bayonetta can count on the demonic masquerades which, finally, offers him a rather exhilarating variety of attacks.
“The extremely deep combat system, the bosses that beat up, this insane pace from the first to the last chapter, the richness of the content, the soundtrack that still resonates in our heads: Bayonetta 3 is a brilliant reminder that PlatinumGames is one of the major studios of this world and that he is able to reinvent himself from one verse to another“, we indicated in our test. However, we detected some weaknesses such as the useless scenario, the lack of charisma of Viola or even the graphic concessions to reach the sacrosanct 60fps.
