Refreshing and breath-taking !
I also played Bayonetta 1 on Xbox One (X360 version), and Bayonetta 1 & 2 are definitively adults only, I would not recommend it for really young people.I was a bit annoyed not to be able to play the second when it was released on Wii U, I didn't own this console. I got the Switch and was hoping one day Platinium Games would port at least this one on Switch and my wish came true.What to say after few days. Well, as the first, I'm so pleased to be able to play it everywhere else than at home ! But as the first one, it really needs to be mastered. I'm a bit more a casual gamer than a hardcore one, but it really deserves to get your hands on it, and shape / improve the skills.The more you do, the better you get rewards ! And yet, it is super satisfying, when mixing the combat styles offered with the different weapons you unlock through the game and the various difficulties.Clearly, the plot is not that deep, but hey, Platinium Games has never denied it, and this game is really into its characters' designs, the fights intensity and the dialogs. OMG, I love these dialogs, so funny, with Bayonetta's posh accent, this is so catchy !Graphically, yes, for some, not Antialiasing as it comes straight from Wii U portage could be seen as a downside, but first, in portable mode on the 6 inch screen, it is clearly not an issue, as you can see the "defaults", plus the pace is so fast that you can't linger over.In dock mode, with my 50" TV screen, yes they're clearly visible, but who cares, the game looks still great and it is so fluid, no frame drop, which is preferable when you'll understand how hectic / furious is the intensity level within certain combat phases.Plus the game keeps us in suspense in terms of poignancy, there are only few moments of calm down but that's for the story evolution.Also, the fact that Nintendo saved the franchise (Sony Sega Microsoft booed the development because of lack of audience despite the great reviews of the first opus), the games offers different costumes inspired from the Nintendo games franchises, is genuinely cool !I'd recommend it for those who are real fan or those who wants to play refreshing games far from the same bunch we've been served for too long. But it would make sense if some could be reluctant when having to pay 45 quids and already have it on Wii U.

The shadow definitely remains cast
Incredible controls, feedback and responsiveness, combined with a bunch of replay, great cutscenes, voice acting and story make this a must have.Whilst I will admit it's becoming a little tiresome to see Wii U "definitive", "ultimate" and other-adjective re-hashes... so far I've repurchased a several and not been disappointed a single time. This is a 720p masterpiece and looks incredible on my 55" 4k TV. A higher resolution would have been nice, but unless you sit a few feet from the screen, it won't be noticeable due to how the gameplay is paced.The voice acting, cutscenes and humour are on point. And whilst the Korean lad that played the part of Loki falters at times, generally he does a very good British impression. Hellena Taylor of course, is sublimely good in her role, though occasionally the sound effects and music drown her out which can surely be fixed with a patch.Amiibo functionality is a nice bonus, and reduces the severe grinding necessary to unlock and purchase items (hello N2 Elite); and along with the array of Nintendo themed outfits, they aren't as superfluous as Mario Odyssey's "dress-up" as features and power-ups are to be had.My only gripe, which is a small one, is the Muspelheim areas. These can be utterly punishing and require the dedication of speedrunners that I just can't muster at my age. Oh, and the price point is too high, this should have been around 30 quid or less.

the witching hour is usually the best time
This is such a wonderful hack and slash and easily one of the most fun games to come out as of late.From the mind of the guy behind DMC if you like fast paced action and over the top scenarios ten this us for you.It plays smoothly both docked and undocked and is gorgeous game to boot.I dare not spoil much but theirs alot of variety here in all aspects from bosses yo levels to enemies. Its a feast for the eyes.Trust me you get to some parts and your jaw will drop.Its a quality game with wonderful music and deep gameplay. Unfortunately if you played this on wii u then their is only the prospect of taking it on the go as that's the only real change minus some graphic enhancements and lesser loading times.Its a must buy if you've not played this yet. Its not a sim or another COD or realistic experience. Its a game. A very fun one and one that revels in that fact.Also I must mention the original game comes with this but its an 8gb download version. Only the 2nd game is on the cartridge.That's a pretty awesome game too :P

Games that remind me of why I love gaming.
Two fast paced and action packed combo focused hack and slash games that genuinely put a smile on my face all the way through, as crazy as they are fun. They’re unbelievably good fun.Highly recommend.
