Wii U User Reviews

Similar gameplay to the first one, also great and fun, but I prefer the first one.

this game was everything I was wanting it to be, just a more polished version of the first game, my biggest knock was some bosses were a bit repetitive but overall a great experience and far better than the first

Perfect level design. Perfect pacing. Perfect controls. Perfect soundtrack. Perfect ass. 10/10

WORST GAME EVER SO SO MID I CANT EVEN DECRIBE IT IT MAKES ME WANNA KMS ITS SO ASS

I played it on Switch. This is a good game. - PLUS : The music ! The artistic direction . Some of the cinematic ! Some fights - MINUS : Sometimes the fights are too confuse and repetitive. Some ennemies are not fun to fight. The game is not long and there is almost no exploration. A really really good beat 'em'all, really. But not more than that.

Greatest action game and franchise oat,if ur name isnt dmc u dont even come close simple.

Continuaram com o conceito, coesão e aclamação do primeiro jogo, mesma ideia e design, eu amei isso é INCRÍVEL!

Hard to believe that this game is a wii U exclusive. I played it so much, this is The God of War of Nintendo. It's even better than God of war on many levels.

No he jugado el juego pero no se por qué Metacritic "autoreseñó" y no me deja borrar esta reseña. No es la primera vez que pasa.

I think this is a fairly overrated game. It doesn't have the depth of mechanics of Devil May Cry and the story is complete nonsense. But you come to these games for the gameplay and I think it's a tier lower than Devil May Cry. The platforming sections can be annoying and the exploration element is lacking.

Bayonetta 2, while attempting to recapture the magic of its predecessor, ultimately falls short in several key areas, making it the weakest entry in the series. Despite efforts to build upon the foundation laid by the original, Bayonetta 2's gameplay feels less refined and designed for noobs. The combat, while still flashy, lacks the tight responsiveness and depth that made the first game so engaging. This regression in gameplay quality is particularly noticeable for fans of the original, leaving a sense of disappointment. One of the game's most significant drawbacks is the introduction of Loki, Bayonetta's new sidekick. His presence often detracts from the main narrative, shifting focus away from Bayonetta's journey to rescue Jeanne and onto his own less compelling storyline. The enemy design in Bayonetta 2 is a mixed bag. While it manages to be more appealing than what we see in Bayonetta 3, it still doesn't quite reach the heights of the original game. The angels and demons provide some visual variety, but they lack the memorable impact of the first game's adversaries. The game's level design is inconsistent, with some areas suffering from poor structure. This leads to a less cohesive and satisfying progression through the game, impacting the overall flow of the adventure. Compared to the original Bayonetta, this sequel feels shallower in terms of narrative and character development. The attempt to echo the first game's story structure results in a less original and impactful experience, leaving players with a sense that something is missing.

My favourite in this now trilogy. Polished the visuals. Streamlined the story. Kept the camp and turned it up to eleven. Gameplay wise I'm aware it has it's flaws when compared to the first- but I still really enjoy this and would take it any day over the third instalment.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Yes get a Wii U, no its not coming to anything else, just get a damn Wii U. If one of the best gosh darn games cant change your **** opinion then quit being ****. ****...Anyway, Bayonetta 2 is easily better the original with more style, flair, and everything in between. With very few missteps like water physics and slight down time that only happen in small portions of the game it really equates to what games are defining to be. An experience worthy of playing by anyone it graces. While it certainly doesn't have the built up that the original had, it does have a constant boost of adrenaline throughout.

Amazing game. Pure perfection. A masterpiece

Bayonetta is one of the best & most underrated series in gaming PERIOD. Replaying this game in 2022 right before 3 comes out made me love it even more than I did all those years ago in my first (admittedly rough) playthrough. The Bayonetta games may have my favorite combat system in any game (rivaled by the new Spider-Man games & some others) And I may be in the minority, but I really enjoy the stories of both games! I prefer Bayo 1’s story to Bayo 2’s, but the combat of 2 >1. The story pacing is a bit wonky, but things always escalate out of control by the end, I truly love how ridiculous and campy these games get. Bayonetta herself is the icon, the legend & the moment.

The sequel to the original that improves the action, craziness, cinematics and combat so well its legit one of the best character action games of all time and worthy of best game of 2014. The Boss fights are amazing and intense. The story is solid and with a great throughline that supplements the action. The cutscenes are so fun and full of personality and life. Its just so consistent and great. The environments look really cool, the enemies are improved and lore with amazing demons better weapons and fights, just everything. Only issue would be umbran climax but only at high level, which really is so small. Its a 9.5/10 an action masterclass. Let's Dance BOYS!

На сегодняшний день это самый лучший слэшер. Геймплей очень разнообразный и веселый

Как то не встает в общем выкатили тоже что и было только на wii u с какого бока такие оценки не пойму (на мой взгляд ей семерку въебать можно , блять девятка это пиздец ,нинка головного мозга )

A MIRACLE OF A SEQUEL. I thought the first game was alright, and I played this game not expecting much but was blown away by the vastly improved combat, dialogue, and overall story—a must-play for everyone.

What could it be said when a game is touch perfection. It's an ectasy of fabulous action gameplay. You've got no time to take a breath. It's always moving, fighting, dancing, shooting... just the best Hack and Slash of all time. The only thing to said in this platform is that has some minimal FPS issues.

Ce jeu ! Mais tous les jours dans mes veines s'il vous plait ! Un must à faire pour les amateurs de beat them all. Une version officiel PC serait là bien venue.

Mejora bastante la tosquedad del primer juego, proponiendo una experiencia mucho más arcade. Lástima que haya muchísimos niveles que sólamente sean jefes y el juego se pueda terminar en un fin de semana, a un ritmo no demasiado alto.

Es un juego exlente con varios atributos muy interesantes y entretenidos .

One of the best hack'n'slash of all time! Simply wonderful! The pacing is really intense, great character design, a relly crazy story and an excellent combat system. If you are a fan of Bayo 1 or Devil May Cry, you gotta play this game!

BAYONETTA 2 is like BAYONETTA 1, but better. I prefer BAYONETTA 2 to BAYONETTA 1, which is saying a lot considering how much I enjoyed the previous game.

Esse jogou valeu cada centavo investido (e não foram poucos) outro excelente jogo que praticamente só conheceram no switch.

I just finished. I finished with the emulator. I did not even feel it was the emulator. It was very good. Another game I expected to the PC. I would buy it if it comes. But if it doesn't come, you can play it with the emulator. Legend is the game. Nier automata = Bayonetta 2> all games

Bayonette the best hack and slash game ever made, the action beat em up we deserved. very good game

Usually when I review something its really long and I try to highlight on both negative and positive aspects of the game. But Bayonetta 2, its so damn good that you literally have to force yourself to find something bad about it. If you have a Wii U, or don't, and you have ANY interest in the action genre, GET THIS GAME. Platinum went far and FAR beyond what they even needed to put in this game to make it good and just made it an absolutely unforgettable experience. The gameplay is incredibly solid, expanding on EVERYTHING the first game had to offer. The amount of weapons and characters and items that spice up the gameplay is so vast and incredible. Getting bored of your current combos and setup? That's alright, just switch it up and everything is fresh again. Most weapons just feel very differently rather than reskins of eachother. The combos flow so smoothly and once again Witch Time has proved itself to be one of the best mechanics to ever grace an action game, or video game in general. The amount of trial and error involved with the bosses and enemies creates for a fun and challenging experience, learning the visual cues to enemies attacks is a core feature in this game and is actually really enjoyable considering the enemies are ALWAYS being switched up. Every chapter is filled with so much carnage that I can't specifically pick out any one that I didn't enjoy. It was a ride the whole way through. Even afterwards I cannot stop playing, with all the extra costumes, weapons, bosses, challenges, equipment to unlock and even the new online TAG CLIMAX mode, where you compete for halos and combo scores. There's so much to do that I cannot even fathom myself becoming bored with this title. The story was a HUGE improvement over the first, and was also great, even though the gameplay is the main attraction. The new characters such as Loki were very well developed. No spoilers involved but this game took a really risky plot device (Time Travel) and really actually made it work. Its a split between a sequel and a prequel, as the events do follow after bayonetta 1 but they also do a great job to explain the events that transpired in Bayonetta 1.

This game surpassed the previous one, just awesome. A masterpiece !! Story :9 Gameplay :10 Music: 10 Visuals: 9 Personal score: 10

Amazing game so happy that has a sequel. Hope to get another episode I hope to be released soon

furiously tapping out insane combos while getting an erection. yeah i uh call it

Flawless, nothing else to say! While the first one is great, this one I believe should appeal to all kind of gamers, given it is a true masterpiece.

Bayonetta 2 es uno de los mejores juegos de acción Hack and Slash de los últimos años, me encanto este juego. Corrigieron algunos errores cometidos en la primera entrega y solo quedo una jugabilidad frenética, combos de todo tipo, armas que harán que nos la pasemos de lo mejor y combate fluido, variedad de enemigos y muy buenas graficas. El humor de Bayonetta sigue intacto y esta segunda entrega completa la historia que se nos presento en el primer juego. Al final tenemos a uno de los mejores exponentes de juegos de acción y es exclusivo de Nintendo.

Easily my pick for game of the year (2014), Bayonetta 2 is insane hack and slash action at it's finest. With epic boss fights, gorgeous scenery, and an awesome soundtrack.

One of the best platinum games, although in my opinion slightly inferior to Nier Automata although superior to 1. Control is a delight. If you are a fan of hack and slash, this is for you.

Bayonetta 2 is CRAZY! The combat, story and characters are great and this game is VERY addicting. Bayonetta is very over-sexualised which is the biggest flaw with this game. Throughout the whole game, a good difficulty is maintained and the game does become less about the "character design" in the cutscenes and more about the epic story. Fantastic game, just not for the younger people.

Really good action game with over the top sexualized main character that may offend some or seem juvenile, but its a good game. I don't think it ever gets better than the first level where Bayonetta ends up fighting on top of a jet flying over a city where her shopping was interrupted, then fights a demon on the side of a ****. The game is good throughout, but climaxed in the first level? ;-)

Tengo que decir exactamente lo mismo que del primero. Es la misma tónica pero más aún. Me es imposible darle menos de un 10 a los Bayonetta, definen perfectamente a los videojuegos como obras de arte.

bayonetta is the best hack n slash ever made in game history, love it so much climax none stop

its very good made but the fights are often button mashing. the worlds look awesome and the enemies are very good designed. still button mashing ;)

Bayonetta 2 is one of the greatest games of all time, its fill with fast and intense hack and slash action, really awesome graphics and boss fights that will blow your mind away and is must buy if you love game series like DMC, Ninja Gaiden and God of War.

This my 6th favoutite game! What an amazing hack n' slash they've maded! Beatiful graphics, giant and epic boss figth as each boss looks like a final boss in a regular game, well-done controls, best combat experience ever made. Bayonetta is a very solid character so as charismatic, and her movements and action are fluids, interesting and great. This one my favourite Wii-U games and I recommend it, if you have a Wii-U - play! - if you don't have one - play! I must confess that initially Bayonetta was a game with everything I don't like in a game but when I gave it a chance, I simply fell in love with it, and those things I initially (before palying) 'disliked' in it weren't the focus of the game and I simply didn't have to care with them, so if someone just like me could play it, everyone can play.

El mejor juego de acción jamás creado. Una bestia tanto jugable como técnica (menos mal que es en Wii U XD), con una relación Potencia/diseño artístico maravillosa y con unos maravillosos 60 fps (o por lo menos casi) Sin ser PARA NADA un paseo de juego, lo han hecho más fácil que su antecesor, que no significa peor, LO CONTRARIO. La jugabilidad se ha visto incrementada con cosas como la barra de magia, que la han dado un mejor aprovechamiento dando la posibilidad de utilizar invocaciones para hacer combos APLASTANTES tanto enemigos pequeños como a los bosses de mayor tamaño; más luego una mayor cantidad de modos de juego habiendo incluído multijugador online y niveles arcade extra que te los desbloqueas una vez pasada la campaña. Este título es un más y mejor del título anterior. No te importará la historia, no te importarán las cinemáticas...sólo querrás que dejen de hablar para seguir pegando hostias como panes y seguir acribillando, descuartizando y machacando ángeles y demonios. Si tenéis Wii U o Switch no se lo pierdan.

It's a great game, but it's exactly the same as the 1st, the story is really lame and you don't care about the characters.

It is by no means a bad game, but it is not enough to make you go and buy a wii u (as i did), it doesn't really improve the original bayonetta gameplay it just makes it flashier, and being honest, it could look much better on another console. Given the announcement of bayonetta 3 i feell we will get the same sequel as this, so i really suggest to get it if you already have the console. As an extra comment, i think the freedom platinum had on nier automata is what make it great, they should keep doing what they did on that game instead of working lazily on a franchise forced to continue

I finally got around to playing Bayonetta 2 and man am I glad I did. This game is a masterpiece, I dont really have any critiques to make. Visually a beautiful game especially for the WIIU, FPS never dropped that I noticed. The story was entertaining and the music is good as the last game. Game play is smooth and responsive controls. The boss fights are epic and so many different ones. This game is a step up from the first one, I say a must pick up if you own a WIIU still. I hope they bring a 3rd one over to the switch! Please make Bayonetta with long hair again the short hair is not a good look, plus her powers use long hair to summon so having short hair doesnt make sense.

I've finally managed to play this through after buying it at launch. The game is just stunning! Bayonetta 2's fighting mechanics are hard to put down, it runs super smooth and looks awesome. I was very impressed with what the Wii U is capable of in the right hands. The game allows you to accomplish amazing combos and moves right off the bat and is literally throwing set pieces at you from the first level. Like it's predecessor, it's one of the purest and most fun video games out there. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves games of any kind. The only issue I have is that the absurd and campy tone of the narrative won't be to everyone's taste.
