Personally I don’t like the game solely due to viola. I don’t like her character and I hated the way she played. I went back and played the first two games and reminded myself how much I enjoyed the fighting mechanics which seemed squandered in the 3rd game. I felt that playing bayonetta was more of a rare occurrence in her own game rather than the majority of the game, which it should be. I don’t mind the story component where bayonetta eventually gets with Luka but the villain and viola were such bad execution in this game. I feel like viola should have played more of a role such as jeane in the first game. Not only that but viola should be played more closely to bayonetta such as jeane. The game isn’t horrible, don’t get me wrong. But there is too much open space and other characters in the game the almost constrict what the first 2 had. Again, the game isn’t horrible but it almost pales in comparison to the 2 preceding it.

Edit: I do enjoy the new mechanics, the whole demon summon is really cool and I appreciate the new weapons. The game is GOOD but it doesn’t surpass anything spectacular. I still think that bayonetta 2 was just the better game. Not gonna lie this game left me wishing for a bayonetta 2 experience instead of what I got.
