Always wanted to give this a genuine attempt. First time I played through the game on Wii U without even attempting to understand the combat and got demolished, but finished the game. Just did it to get to Bayonetta 2. I loved Bayonetta 2 at the time and thought it was just a straight upgrade, but it's not. After finally giving Bayo 1 its due it is a masterpiece. I will not elaborate further.
