'Bayonetta 3 is one of the best action games on the Nintendo Switch, surpassing even Platinum's Astral Chain in terms of scale and entertainment value.' Our 4.5/5 review: Bayonetta3
Bayonetta 3 is an action-adventure game developed by PlatinumGames and published by Nintendo which ups the ante from the previous games in the series, featuring a dimension-hopping storyline that acts as a platform for exciting set pieces, massive kaiju battles, and some of the best action gameplay on the Nintendo Switch. Bayonetta 3 was announced in 2017 and fans have had to wait a long time for her return, but it is well worth the wait.
Bayonetta 3's awesome kaiju battles are an incredible addition to the game, with the player able to perform combos with their demon allies, or tag in a big monster to fight a large enemy creature. There are some instances where it can't be used, but it's available throughout most of the game and it adds a whole new dimension to the battle system.
The stages in Bayonetta 3 are impressively large and the Nintendo Switch does a great job of keeping up with the game, barring some minor pop-ins in the bigger levels. Games like No More Heroes 3 on Nintendo Switch really struggled to keep it together at times, whereas Bayonetta 3 never feels as if it's being limited by the hardware. The epic scale of some of the boss fights also needs to be seen to be believed, with Bayonetta 3 having some of the best bosses of 2022.
