#Bayonetta 3 publisher series

PlatinumGames mixes in plenty of sudden gameplay changes or new mechanics only for one or two fights, meaning that it always feels like something exciting and new is right around the corner. There are plenty of boss fights, and few of them unfold the same way. You can only have three equipped at once to pull up in the heat of battle, but just like your weapons, these can be swapped in and out across your journey, as well as improved alongside other skills. As this story crosses the multiverse, you'll encounter different Bayonettas and their unique demons, acquiring these demons as part of your arsenal. The concept of a Multiverse is hot right now, and Bayonetta 3 uses it for genuinely creative setups instead of just set dressing. There's more to explore when finding collectibles and optional encounters, as well as just making sure there's room to summon the towering demons you equip. This also means that levels are usually far bigger than in past games, and while there are some drawbacks - more on that below - Bayonetta 3 has a scale that the prior games only achieved in particular moments. It's a great way to shake up the fights and it means carefully managing foes in order to use the demons you summon with maximum potential. Bayonetta solves this by assuming direct control of these demons in fights, gaining immense power in exchange for leaving her dancing body vulnerable. Bayonetta has access to a wide array of combos through different weapons - including her guns from the first two games if you have save data on your Nintendo Switch - and while she's lost the ability to set different weapons for legs and arms, the sheer arsenal available means you don't end up missing this feature all that much, especially since she's also got access to a new gameplay mechanic called the Demon Slave.īecause demons usually prefer munching down on angelic foes (or other demons, even) they're not really inclined to help out against the Homunculi. Like the prior games, this is a third-person action title. When it comes to the sleek style and fast-paced action the prior games were known for, Bayonetta 3 more than delivers.
