Bayonetta game12/4/2023 ![]() ![]() What truly boggles my mind is that they gave the SMALL CHILD thigh-highs and a miniskirt. The lady narrating the textbook parts is excellent, though, really nails the bedtime story vibe. Just hearing her shout CHESHIRE is enough to make my toes curl and it's really not a very good performance in general. Not fun.Ĭereza's voice is horribly grating. This makes item-collecting a tedious chore because you cannot just pick out an icon on the map and simply go to it like in an Open-World game or Metroidvania, but you have to first solve the absurd riddle that is this game's map design where no path ever leads you to where you think it would. The levels aren't really open per se, but more of a collection of intertwined linear and narrow paths that very often don't lead to where you think they would when looking at them on the map. If you're not following the critical path and want to collect all the items, however, you will find that the level design and the map screen are NOT fit for this purpose. As it is, it gets a little long-winded later on. This could've been remedied either with more interesting and challenging gameplay or by making the game a shorter 10-hours-or-so experience. ![]() The writing and difficulty are definitely aimed at a very young demographic (which honestly is a pretty bizarre choice considering the rest of this franchise), and, as many other reviews have pointed out, many ideas only feel half-explored as a result of this and thus the game gets a little boring and repetitive as it goes on, almost like it plays itself when you're following the critical path. This game is like baby's first Zelda with a two-character twist, a beautiful storybook/watercolor aesthetic, and lots of lovingly crafted lore and world-building.
