Bayonetta – 90
Bayonetta is the best hack and slash title on Wii U, without a doubt. But does it hold the same value on other platforms as well? Easily it does.
Bayonetta also has a great sequel, which is also a must-play game.
The reason
Bayonetta works so well is its over-the-top nature matches the whole point of what a hack and slash game is supposed to be. On the current-gen consoles,
Bayonetta feels blazingly fast and smoother than before
Bayonetta 2 – 92
Bayonetta 2 is a Metacritic must-play title. With an aggregate 92/100 score for the Nintendo Switch, it is one of the highest-rated hack and slash games ever made. The game is a classic in its approach and adds a ton of new concepts into the gameplay. It is fast, full of combos, and extremely balanced.
Being a sequel, it makes a lot of fresh new additions to the original
Bayonetta's formula. The combat in the game is very fluid, and the over-the-top nature of this game works in its favor. The only minus is that it is exclusively available on Nintendo Switch and Wii U. Perhaps
the in-development Bayonetta 3 will explore other platforms when it launches.
