This mechanic looks and feels very powerful, and makes the combat really enjoyable. The timing for dodging to trigger Witch Time is generally pretty generous, so it's common to slip in and out of slow motion when fighting a crowd of enemies. Witch Time slows down all of the action for a few seconds and lets you chain powerful attacks together while the enemy is vulnerable. To trigger Witch Time, simply dodge (R2 button) an enemy just before they hit you.

Then there's Witch Time, Bayonetta's signature combat mechanic, and what separates the series from Platinum's other action games (even if similar, less intricate features can be spotted in Transformers: Devastation and Nier: Automata). Alternatively, you can or trigger Umbran Climax mode to turn every hit into a Wicked Weave for a short period of time. You can also build up a magic meter while fighting and perform powerful Torture Attacks on enemies. For example, you can end combos with powerful Wicked Weave attacks that summon demons made of Bayonetta's hair to hit with a massive fist or set of jaws.
There are whips, twin swords, a katana, a scythe, a bow and arrow, and even a set of flamethrowers, each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and combo strings.īasic attacks and combos only scratch the surface of Bayonetta 2's combat system. She can even mix and match pairs of them to find the best combination that suits your own personal play style. Bayonetta is best known for fighting with guns on her hands and feet, but she gets a variety of weapons beyond them. Action is fast and tight, combining light and heavy (punch and kick) melee attacks with Devil May Cry-style gunplay for positioning and continuing combos. Or, to better explain the premise, it's a Platinum game.īayonetta 2 is one of the best examples of Platinum Games' ability to craft satisfying, accessible, and complex combat systems. It's weird, bombastic, and sexy, starring agency-filled, powerful female protagonists that essentially striptease-fight cherubic golden monsters over the balance of the world. If you're unfamiliar with the series, Bayonetta (the protagonist) is a dark witch who summons demons using her hair (which is also her clothing) and fights angels with pistols on her hands and feet. Bayonetta 2, in particular, is a fantastic action game and once again earns our Editors' Choice.
You can purchase Bayonetta 2 and the original Bayonetta as a bundle in physical or digital form for $59.99, though you can also buy them separately on the Nintendo Switch eShop for $49.99 and $29.99 respectively. Now, more people can play this excellent action game (as well as its very good predecessor) and enjoy the Switch's portability.
That's why we are so excited to see the Nintendo Switch ports of Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2. Unfortunately, because it was a Wii U exclusive, not nearly enough people got to play it.
