On the way you meet up with punk kid Loki and deal with an ancient evil and….

I mean, that’s the basic gist of the story, as the game sees Bayonetta make her way to Fimbulvinter to resurrect her friend.

When a particularly hairy battle gets out of hand, sending Bayonetta’s partner-in-crime Jeanne to the underworld, it’s up to Bayonetta to go and get her back… Right? The world’s most fabulous witch is back, and the epic battle between the Lumen Sages (angels) and Umbra Witches (demons) continues. It’s absolutely gorgeous to boot.īayonetta 2’s story is stupid-and that’s saying something when compared to its narratively muddy predecessor.

Luckily, it was worth it-Bayonetta 2 is one of the craziest, most rambunctious action games I’ve ever played, with silky smooth controls and weapons that drastically change how you play. You know what’s weird? We live in a world where Nintendo has not only published a Legend of Zelda/Dynasty Warriors hybrid, but has also resurrected Bayonetta, one of the niche-iest action games ever to come out of Japan.
