Bayonetta 3 doubles down on the series' signature blend of balletic combat and gleefully over-the-top spectacle. The Umbra Witch's arsenal of weapons and the introduction of the Demon Slave system, which lets you directly control summoned infernal demons, offer a thrilling degree of strategic depth. This entry's focus on massive, city-sized battles against the Homunculi, and the absurd situations that arise from it, is what keeps players invested.
