Bayonetta 3 reviews

Bayonetta 3 is about to make its debut on Switch, and ahead of its launch later this week, the first wave of reviews are starting to come online. Nintendo just lifted the embargo.

Bayonetta 3 follows the previous game on Wii U that released nearly a decade ago. The title still has the over-the-top climax action gameplay the franchise is known for, but introduces some new elements. With the Demon Masquerade ability, Bayonetta can channel the demon linked to her weapon for some action options. The likes of Gomorrah, Malphas, and Phantasmaraneae can be controlled during battle. Viola, a feisty witch in training who fights with a sword and has the demon Cheshire at her side, is also a new addition.

Here’s some information about the upcoming games:

NieR: Automata The End of YoRHa Edition Switch review

System: Switch
Release Date: October 6, 2022
Developer: PlatinumGames
Publisher: Square Enix


NieR: Automata has always shared something of a connection with Switch. When asked by Famitsu what his thoughts were on the system and its reveal presentation in January 2017, director Yoko Taro simply stated his memories vanished once he found out the console, along with Breath of the Wild, were releasing just one week after his game. Launching alongside such a titanic duo didn’t end up holding NieR: Automata back in the end, however, as it was both a critical and commercial success, leading to it becoming one of the most requested Switch ports of the last generation. More than five years later, the game has finally arrived on Nintendo’s platform, and this gripping tale of android vs. machine was certainly worth the wait.
