Bayonetta 2 Metacritic Page


GameSpot - 10

Bayonetta 2's combat is so expertly constructed, and its presentation so joyously insane, that you'd have to try so very hard to get bored of it all. In a year filled with the promise of ever more elaborate experiences on all the shiny new hardware, that Bayonetta 2--a homage to classic game design and escapism--should be the most fun I've had playing a game all year is unexpected. But maybe it shouldn't have been. After all, its predecessor still stands as one of the finest games of its genre. To have surpassed that with Bayonetta 2, and to have created a game that will be remembered as an absolute classic, is nothing short of astonishing.
​

Edge - 10

Sega's loss is Nintendo's gain: Bayonetta, twirling away from a gigantic demon's maw and smacking the highest choir of angels on the nose, has just given Wii U its first true classic.
​

Eurogamer Germany - 10

Buy it if you liked the first one. Buy it, if you love it. Buy it if you love video games. Buy a Wii U if you have to. Bayonetta 2 sings all its praises in a celebration to this hobby of ours. But don't make the mistake of not playing it.
​

Destructoid - 10

When Bayonetta came out in 2010, I thought it was nearly perfect. Four years later and Platinum hasn't lost its edge with Bayonetta 2. It's just as stylish and as fun as ever, and a must-buy for action fans who own a Wii U.
​

Nintendo Insider - 10

Bigger, badder and exquisitely better, Bayonetta 2 knocks its predecessor off its enviable perch to become perhaps the greatest action game of all time. From the word go, it will send your adrenaline into overdrive as you venture on a quest that will take you to the very depths of Hell and back. The plethora of unlockables promise to keep you coming back for more in new and refreshing ways, while Tag Climax suitably extends the experience beyond a purely solo offering in a richly rewarding way. Bayonetta 2 is game of the year material without a doubt, and a worthy purchase for any action fan.
​

God Is A Geek - 10

Intense, gorgeous and thrilling to play, this is Platinum’s best game so far. Nintendo have clearly had an input here, with a game that’s more forgiving for new players, but still has enough challenge for fans; all without watering down or compromising the experience for either type of player. A non-stop climax of excitement from the moment you start the Prologue, this is one of those games that demands to be played.
​

FNintendo - 10

Quite possibly the best action game ever made, Bayonetta 2 is a pure gem of wonder, filled with epic fights, perfect gameplay, a magnificent visual and sound environment and even a multiplayer mode which fits perfectly within the format. A diabolical masterpiece that no Wii U should go without.
​

Zwame - 10

Platinum Games did the unthinkable and made a game even better than the original; loaded with humor, sexuality, action and bigger than life setpieces, Bayonetta 2 is the pinnacle of its genre, an absolutely brilliant action game that will be hard to overcome.
​

Joystiq - 5/5

If you bought the Wii U months ago explicitly in anticipation of Bayonetta 2, congratulations, your decision has paid off in spades.
​

Gameblog.fr - 5/5

With Bayonetta 2, Wii U has its trump card: a queen of spades that takes advantages on almost every game of the genre and hits us right in the heart. It's an outstanding production, beautifully executed, with state of the art mechanics and ridiculously generous. And it can be enjoyed by everyone as its difficulty and handling can be adjusted. Definitely a beat them all no one has the right to ignore.
​

GameXplain - Loved

Bayonetta 2 is an utterly fantastic action game, perhaps even the peak of its genre.
​

Kotaku - YES

Just thinking about how the developers at Platinum will surpass the excesses on display in this month's release is enough to rub a body raw. Bayonetta 2's combat design remains robust enough to be a very strong main attraction. But any emotions stirred up during my time with Bayonetta wound up feeling shallow. I'm glad for those times when I kicked ass in a stylish manner but still found myself bemoaning the terrible storytelling I endured to do that. If Platinum somehow manages to shore up those failings, the next encounter with Bayonetta won't just be a pantomine of lust. It might turn into love.
​

IGN - 9.5

Every aspect of Bayonetta 2 feels polished and focused. At times, the writing feels ridiculous, but I still love how it plays. The superb pacing and combat are just that good. By the end I was convinced: This sequel builds on everything that made the original great, and delivers one of the most satisfying action games I've played.
​

GameSided - 9.5

Bayonetta 2 is what character action games should strive to be. Its excellent combat system drives home an intensly-intricate story that builds a universe completely discernable as its own. Platinum Games did an excellent job continuing the story from the original Bayonetta without losing a beat, transferring that pure essence of heart to the sequel 5 years later. With a deep soundtrack and marvelous settings, the art style makes up for minor shortcomings on technical and purely-graphical limitations of the Wii U. The added feature of the original game included in the retail package is just the cherry on the top. Bayonetta is back, and she's much, much more than just a pretty face.
​

Wiitalia - 9.5

Bayonetta 2 is one of the best action games ever released. Visually impressive, its relentless gameplay is fast and packed with tons of stuffs to do and experiment. This game is totally classy, and the first one included in the package is just the cherry on the top.Don't miss Bayonetta 2 (but be careful at the final boss!).
​

Paste - 9.5

Bayonetta 2 justifies the existence of my Wii U (sorry, Mario Kart 8—you’re fine, but I’m just not in love with you). I plan to sink several more happy hours into its infinitely replayable chapters. It’s rare that a game actually offers me a compelling story, a nuanced heroine, jokes that are funny and never cringe-worthy, plus combat mechanics that I can sink hours into perfecting again and again. Bayonetta 2 has caused me to fall back in love with videogames—or maybe just with Bayonetta herself? Not that I ever really stopped loving any of that, but it’s always nice to remember what a great game looks and feels like. This is it.
​

Famitsu - 38/40

Official Nintendo Magazine - 93%

PC Games - 93%

Cheat Code Central - 4.6/5

It's absolutely a pure Bayonetta game, it's an absolute blast to play, and it absolutely belongs on Nintendo's growing roster of excellently crafted games for the Wii U.
​

4Gamers - 91/100

The queen of the action games is back. Bayonetta 2 manages to impress in almost every aspect with a combination of non-stop action, adrenaline, a bit of naughtiness and really responsive controls. The story and atmosphere might not suit everyone, but even the biggest pessimists will have to recognize that in terms of gameplay this game is among the best. With Bayonetta 2, the developers have succeeded in making the game very accessible for newcomers, while maintaining the depth of it for the hardcore gamers. Future action games will have a hard time topping this, because Bayonetta 2 managed to push the bar very high for this genre. If you didn't have a reason to buy a Wii U, then Bayonetta 2 is an excellent one to do so.
​

Game Informer - 9

Creating a sequel to an already-polished game is a challenge, but Platinum Games’ approach ultimately succeeds. Bayonetta 2 is rooted in its past while taking steps (but not strides) toward the future. Though I was disappointed by some of the familiarity, I was usually having too much fun to care.
​

CVG - 9

Bayonetta's second adventure offers more of the same peerless action mechanics, barmy spectacle and wonderful depth.
​

USgamer - 4.5/5

Bayonetta 2 is the high-flying return of everyone's favorite Umbra Witch. Platinum Games pushes to the Wii U to its limit with fast action, magnificent vistas, and huge bosses. The addition of the original Bayonetta just pushes the entire package over the top. If you're a Devil May Cry fan, this is a must-buy.
​

Metro - 9

The worst thing you can say about Bayonetta 2 is that it’s still not much of an improvement over its predecessor, but even that supposed criticism still confirms it as one of the best action games of all-time. Creating Bayonetta 2 may not make much business sense but unlike most sequels today this isn’t a game made for the love of money, but for the love of gaming itself.
​

Nintendo Life - 9

Bayonetta is is a must buy for any action gaming fans. It's fast, intense and ridiculous, all with an entertaining story and a protagonist that is forever subverting and playing with her audience. It's pure Platinum Games, too, which means it'll likely be adored by its converts and ignored by too many — we hope that won't happen, as what we have here is one of the Wii U's best games, and a rare arrival on the system that's unashamedly violent, gory and mature, while still mischievously winking at the watching world. Bayonetta 2 is brilliant, brash and impossible to ignore.
​

TheSixthAxis - 9

Bayonetta 2 is amongst the most refined and dynamic action games to appear on any console, taking the best parts of the original game and building upon them. It is crazy, chaotic and characterful and a genuine pleasure to play.
​

Digital Chumps - 9.0

Bayonetta 2 expresses a meticulous devotion to excessive elaborateness of style and action. It's a calculated brawler that not only minds its rules with painstaking diligence, but trusts its operator with how to best interpret them. The delicate engineering of merciless destruction has long been Platinum Games' modus operandi, and Bayonetta 2 is the purest and most potent declaration of their intentions.
​

Lazygamer - 9.0

Bayonetta 2 is something new blended with something familiar, improved in every way possible. Few other games can top it for sheer audacity and ballsiness, and if this is the last time we’ll ever see the leggy witch, then she’s going out with one hell of a bang.
​

NintendoWorldReport - 9

Bayonetta 2 is one of the best games to ever grace the Wii U. The sequel feels tighter, less obnoxious, and is a blast to play through. While the Wii U GamePad is not used in any significant way, and Tag Climax could have benefited from local co-op, this is the action-packed Bayonetta follow–up that I wanted. Fans of Platinum's outings owe it to themselves to check it out and start exploring the many twists and turns along the journey.
​

Eurogamer - 9

Bayonetta 2's biggest disappointment may be that it's an iterative sequel, but it's not such a problem when it's iterating on genius.
​

Eurogamer Italy - 9

Bayonetta 2 is simply awesome. Platinum Games has done a great job improving their previous game, adding small details and creating a gorgeous looking new adventure for the sexy-witch. If you love action games, you can't miss this perfect cocktail of fun gameplay, great graphics and over-the-top humor.
​

VideoGamer - 9

Bayonetta 2 is a system seller. It's a Nintendo-published game that is rarely seen, and a game that will legitimately make non-Wii U owners jealous. It's everything I want from a hardcore Nintendo title, offering genre-leading combat and eye-popping visual spectacle. The fact that Bayonetta 2 delivers the goods is no surprise. Nintendo being the firm behind its continued survival, however, is a surprise we should be very grateful for.
​

Gamekult - 9

Gamona - 88/100

VentureBeat - 87/100

Bayonetta 2 is surprising. Some of that is because it is an M-rated Wii U exclusive. It’s also because it is a good game in a genre that doesn’t seem long for this world. With everything moving open-world and online, Platinum is still sticking to it’s better zone. And it’s working.

I don’t know if I’ll ever need a Bayonetta 3, but I’m certainly glad that I got to play Bayonetta 2.
​

GamesRadar - 4/5

Bayonetta 2 is sheer class. Yes, it takes a little too long to get going, given its length, but the final four hours are relentlessly, breathlessly exceptional. Granted, it's all just 'more of the same' with a shorter haircut, but we're talking about more of one of the best games ever made.
​

Polygon - 7.5

When Platinum Games is on, it's really, really on, and Bayonetta 2 is in almost any respect that counts a better game than the first, whose mechanics were already exemplary. But every time I'd feel on a roll, enjoying my time with Bayonetta 2 immensely, I'd be broken out of it by another cheap shot of T&A. I would be wrecking a flock of angelic or demonic enemies, sliding in and out of witch time almost at will, and then the special weapon I had picked up became a literal stripper pole for Bayonetta to dance on, because ... well, because, I guess.
​

Game Revolution - 3.5/5

If you’re an action gamer with a Wii U or even an older Nintendo fan with patience enough for Bayonetta’s Moon River remix soundtrack, then summon the strength to face this bad hair day with both guns up. Actually, make it all four guns up. Bayonetta manages to pull it off without tucking her ankles behind her head, though you might strain something if you try it her way.

a) for the xb1 controller do yall recommend using batteries or the play + charge kit?

b) is it true the xb1 doesnt indicate when the controller is running low and needs new batteries or to be charged?

b) is it true the xb1 doesnt indicate when the controller is running low and needs new batteries or to be charged?

a: I use a charge n play kit. Love It. Just make sure if u get one of the cheaper ones from Ebay or Amazon, you dont charge it for more than 2 or 3 hours at a time because over charging them will make the battery life eventually run really short.

b: If you press the xbox button in the center of the controller, it will return you to the home screen and show an indicator in the lower right corner with how much battery life u have remaining. The system will also warn you when you have about 5 minutes on your battery.

 

[LSN]

thanks! i asked cuz i wanted to get the charge n play kit but heard it dies w/in 6 months...didnt know if it was true or not...i plan on getting the official xbox joint tho...and i saw a user comment on another site that xb1 didnt alert you to your controller needing a recharge which sounded absurd but i still had to ask...thanks...bestbuy is having a deal this week where they take $20 off a year subscription to live if you buy an xb1 and $10 off a controller...i think it's the best deal i'm get between now and 11/18 so i might as well jump on it when they get more in stock in a few days

even tho it's called charge n play you wanna charge it up 1st then disconnect the wire and play...ideally in the long run it saves you spending $$$ on batteries

Report: Assassin's Creed Unity Xbox One Bundle Leaked

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/report-assassins-creed-unity-xbox-one-bundle-leake/1100-6422932/

Two new Xbox One bundles which include Assassin's Creed Unity could be announced soon, vgleaks has reported. According to the site, Austrian retailer Gameware listed the bundles online. One bundle will allegedly include a black 500GB Xbox One, Kinect, and a copy of Assasin's Creed Unity, and will retail for €509.99 which is roughly USD$648. The other bundle features the same items, sans Kinect, and will retail for €409.99 which translates to roughly USD$521.

GameSpot reached out to a Microsoft representative regarding the Xbox One bundles, who commented "We have nothing to announce at this time."

Microsoft recently unveiled a white Halo: Master Chief Collection Xbox One bundle which would be released in Brazil and "additional select markets." A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that the company had "no plans" to bring the bundle to the United States.

Assassin's Creed Unity will launch on November 11 in the US and November 13 for PAL regions. Earlier this month, Unity senior producer Vincent Pontbriand said the game would run in 900p across Xbox One and PlayStation 4 to avoid "debates." Ubisoft has since released a statement that clarified that the final specs for the game have not been confirmed.

 

[LSN]

^^^ bundle looks like it has both black flag + unity from the box...too rich for my blood tho for 2 games im mildly interested in...if one of them came free w/ a basic xb1 for $399 like then that'd be dope

Polygon - 6.5

The Evil Within has a strong foundation in the past but fails to build on it


I'm still questioning whether I'll make that second pass, though. The Evil Within has great moments where the excellent combat and creepy environmental design come together. But those moments are fleeting, inevitably sapped of their delightful terror by design choices that feel trapped in the glory days of a decade ago. There's something to be said for respecting your past successes and building off of them, but The Evil Within is only ever completely successful at half of that equation.


http://www.polygon.com/2014/10/14/6896155/the-evil-within-review-xbox-one-PS4

GameInformer - 9/10

Horror fans shouldn’t let the disappointing story deter them one bit, however. Few Paranormal Activity fans care how these malevolent demons come back again and again – what truly matters is that the audience’s nerves are frayed until they’re raw. The Evil Within excels at keeping your palms sweaty while delivering a harrowingly rewarding gameplay trial. Watching the credits roll with a sigh of relief doesn’t feel like winning; it feels like surviving.

http://www.gameinformer.com/games/t.../10/13/a-masterwork-of-absolute-insanity.aspx

Joystiq - 2.5/5

Evil Within just plain doesn't give you a fair chance to succeed. It doesn't provide enough information for you to make good decisions and it handicaps your ability to fight well. It requires so much repetition that it can't possibly maintain any sense of tension or unease, and its story is told so aimlessly that you'll likely forget the plot between scenes. It manages a few moments of inspiration, but their scarcity makes them feel like fortunate accidents rather than deliberate elements of the overall design. It's covered in blood, but the only thing truly horrifying about The Evil Within is how disappointing it is.

http://www.joystiq.com/2014/10/14/the-evil-within-review-keep-out/

Videogamer - 8/10

Players can upgrade Sebastian's health, weapons, and ammo-carrying capacities in a manner reminiscent of past Mikami action titles (although, sadly, briefcase Tetris is no more). Sebastien is tremendously weak in the early going, and so upgrading his health and sprint stamina is advised. Melee attacks, too, are near laughable in the opening stages (no roundhouse kicks here I'm afraid) and so upgrading weapons is a must. The Evil Within is a game where bullets are at a premium and the player must be economical with their resources, and adding more damage or a faster reload will often be the difference between life and death. Choose wisely.

http://www.videogamer.com/reviews/the_evil_within_review.html

Escapistmagazine - 3/5

Bottom Line: The Evil Within is a noble attempt at bringing back classic survival horror, but it could have learned a thing or two from games that aren't almost ten years old. It has its moments of brilliance, scattered through periods of antagonizing design.
Recommendation: The console space is starved for even acceptable survival horror, and in such a market, The Evil Within at least provides a taste of what we've been missing.
