8/10
What a delicious game to play, hard as fuck, but still very enjoyable, the combat is sensational, it took the DMC formula and created its own identity, easy to learn but difficult to master and with boss fights that will push your limit in combat (i'm looking at you Jeanne).
The only things I didn't like about Bayonetta were the Quick Time Events that getting it wrong is Insta-kill and that applies to some level design choices too, some QTE is almost humanly impossible to reach the max level. The Final boss is DMC 1 Mundus levels of BS, probably good in concept but playing that shit was extremely frustrating.
