Pros & Cons
Here are what many fans / reviewers find good or less good about Bayonetta 2:
Pros
Extremely polished combat; satisfying combos, fluid movement, high skill ceiling. press-start.com.au+2Wikipedia+2
The additions like Umbran Climax add depth and reward risky play. ultimatepopculture.fandom.com+1
Visual style, design of stages and enemies are generally praised. Wikipedia+1
Replayability is good — higher difficulties, collecting items, leaderboard / grades etc give reason to play again. press-start.com.au+1
Cons
Because of exclusivity to Nintendo platforms, if you don’t own a Switch (or Wii U), you can’t play it. Wikipedia+1
Some players feel it’s shorter than some other action games if you’re just doing a single playthrough. But true for many in the genre. WIRED+1
Port differences: on Switch in handheld mode vs docked etc, there might be trade‑offs in resolution/frame rate. Not huge for many, but relevant for perfectionists.
