Bayonetta 3 is incredible fun, with one unattractive drawback

Hi there — you all know me by now. I’m the Bayonetta fan. Practically one of the first things I told the GamesBeat staff when I was hired was that Bayonetta is my favorite game. I’ve been waiting so long for Bayonetta 3, and the others were gracious enough to let me be the one to speak about it for the site.

This isn’t officially a “review,” by the way. I didn’t want to rush my playthrough of Bayonetta 3. First of all, I didn’t get the game until after it launched, so my review would have been behind everyone else’s anyway. Second, I haven’t played a new Bayonetta game in eight years. I wanted to enjoy the experience. But the downside of that is that it’s a bit too late for an official score.
