The fast pacing of Bayonetta is probably the biggest selling point of this game, but after a fair amount of practice, working your way through the combos should be enough of a breeze. But if there's anything else that makes Bayonetta work as well as it does, it never really punishes you after dying but another case of trial-and-error battling in which you're made to find another fighting combo that works best for you. It always keeps you on your feet, it's very addicting, and above all, the title character is always a blast to play as, whether it just be from her design or her one-liners.

It takes a lot of time to get used to the nature of those quick time events, because if you end up messing those ones up, they cause dire consequences - from losing a bunch of your health or in other cases, instant death, but thankfully they're not severely punishing to that point it ruins the game. Unfortunately, the fact that some of them are so frequent can be a bit of a drawback for some, yet it feels nice to be quick on your feet.

As someone who was never big on hack-and-slash games, this was a nice refresher.
