Alright.
I don't understand how anyone could give this game a 10/10 like the story is HILARIOUSLY bad. Like I honestly can't believe they had 11 years and this is what they came up with. It felt like a knockoff of DMC 5 and Spider-Man No Way Home but on like extreme drugs and doing those drugs makes you illiterate so what you end up writing is just all over the place, which is the point kinda but it's not done in a good way.
Bayonetta 1&2 are not known for their masterful storytelling but they were interesting, coherent enough, and got the job done. The first one had demons, second one had angels. And the enemies were cool and interesting and even the main villain was a little compelling.
Here, oh my goodness. Quite possibly one of the worst villains ever I still don't know his name, singularity? Don't even know his motivations, what he wanted, he's just a terrible villian.
The enemy designs aren't generic and they are fun to fight against but they just feel hollow and lifeless compared to the ones fought in 1 and 2, the designs are bad and names aswell and just bad it feels like the enemies you would see in a generic sci-fi movie.
The new character Viola, is surprisingly not as bad as I thought she was gonna be but still bad. She is a Nero clone. But at least Nero has redeeming qualities such as gameplay and he has a pretty good personality and arsenal and motivations. Can't say the same for Viola. Not fun to play, boring, generic, underused.
The gameplay is great very very good although it does feel like a little something is missing at times but it's awesome close to perfection.
Soundtrack. Oh man. Phenomenal. Violas theme is a really good and just very well done as it should be.
The new arsenal of weapons were awesome too very creative and different.
The Jeanne sections were really fun and a nice change of pace and great references to metal gear and persona haha.
Great graphics, and the action is amazing you can really feel the scope of all the fights and it goes crazy.
And the ending is quite possibly one of the worst I have seen in my life. Absolutely terrible and does ruin the franchise, I am so so much more grateful for how DMC 5 came to be because that's how you do a sendoff for your main characters and pass the torch not whatever this was.
Overall, a pretty great game. Unfortunately the weakest aspect was the story which kind of breaks it for me. Phenomenal gameplay, soundtrack, and loads and loads of creativity and experimentation I loved it and lots of replay valu. The 11 year wait was kinda worth it but kinda not honestly playing this game just made me wanna play DMC V due to how bad the story is in this game. Replaying it for me will be hard because of the story. You feel no emotion or anything it's just all over the place. Could've been a lot better, but what we got excluding story was pretty great.
8/10
