Live at the witch trials.
Itd be exhausting if it wasnt quite so exhilarating.
A charming, frequently dazzling mess, but a mess all the same.
This is Bayonetta: Choo Choo edition, a premise as delirious as it is delightful to play.
It’s this breathlessness that makes Bayonetta 3 such a blast.
That breathlessness can come across as straight-up wheeziness in parts, though.
Bayonetta 3’s more than just noisy, though.
Too often it’s a downright mess.
Sometimes, just as criminally for a series defined by its effervescent fizz, it falls flat.
Or skill trees, even, for everyone gets one in a web of menus that’s hardly elegant.
What a mess it is, though.
Bayonetta 3 is overstated, in parts underbaked - but it’s rarely less than a thrill.
