Bayonetta 3 felt like an unnecessary sequel with no real passion behind its creation. Platinum always has had to balance the passion projects with games that were made to just pay the bills and keep the lights on and its depressing to think that Bayonetta 3 fell into the latter category. I honestly think there was more hype and passion from Platinum Games over Sol Cresta.

Theres one good boss encounter near the end of the game and its over right as you realize "Oh wow, I'm finally having FUN!"

Aside from Jeanne's Elevator Action Returns-like side levels which was great to see Platinum games homage one of the best arcade games of all time, I honestly couldn't tell you a single level in the main game that really stood out or that was enjoyable. They really go overboard with the set pieces in this one its almost Wonderful 101 levels of whiplash.
