That’s pretty much all the story you need to know. Whether its casually urging players to beat hordes of angels to death with their own poles, turning them into a panther and parting the sea, or simply having them kick ass while standing on top of a flying jet, both Bayonetta entries offer some of the most wonderfully over the top set pieces you’ll find in any medium.ĭeveloped by Devil May Cry creator Hideki Kamiya, these insane action games see players taking control of the titular witch Bayonetta, as she fight off hordes of angels who are determined to drag her back to hell. Pure Platinum Countless combos and screen-filling showdowns are the order of the day in Platinum's flagship action franchise.īoth entries admittedly have some (totally weird) references to Hollywood, but make no mistake, these are experiences that are completely and utterly unashamed to be video games. Yet, while Platinum’s cringe-worthy dialogue and clothe-shedding attacks might make for an (occasionally) embarrassing experience, it’s this gleeful sense of absurdity that makes both titles so hopelessly compelling. In a medium where po-faced shooters rule the roost, for some players, these intentionally ridiculous adventures can feel almost obnoxiously jarring. Whether you’re put off by its overt sense of sexuality or its borderline nonsensical narrative, these are games that are utterly absurd in almost every aspect of their design.

Let’s get this out of the way right off the bat - Bayonetta isn’t a series that’s going to appeal to everyone.
