Bayonetta Hands On Impressions
Hideki Kamiya has done it again. Once again, the man known for classics such as Devil May Cry and Okami has made another astonishing game with both great and innovative gameplay.
The demo I got my hands on had two parts. The tutorial and a level where you fight both normal enemies and multiple bigger boss-like enemies. Yes, the game is over the top and if you don’t like ‘out there/goofy’ characters and stories then this game may not be for you. Though if you like great gameplay and a game with a sense of humor then this game is a must buy.
The controls really make this game great. When you press the kick button if you just hit it then you kick, but if you hold it then the guns on her shoes start to fire. Then there is the witch walk which basically allows for you to fight enemies while walking on the wall. The small 10 min demo that I played is so far better than any other hack-slash that I’ve played this generation.
You can pick up certain weapons from enemies and use them for a short time, the combos are very satisfying, and the boss battles are entertaining. The graphics are solid and the art style is fun. Bayonetta could become a beloved character in the gaming industry like Dante became last generation. This game is very good for those who want a high paced action game with great gameplay who need something to hold them over till God of War 3.
