More insane and frenetic than the first installment, Bayonetta 2 is a unique action game that boasts a complex heroine, an absurd plot, and an engaging combat system. It’s a game that excels at impressing us with its remarkably bonkers set-pieces.
The story begins when Bayonetta’s dear friend, Jeanne, is attacked and taken to hell by a demon that Bayonetta summoned but has gotten out of control. On her journey to rescue Jeanne, the protagonist comes across a mysterious boy named Loki, who is being pursued by a masked priest. The witch, then, discovers that she needs to save both Jeanne and Loki, who also intends to travel to hell.
Bayonetta remains a bold and [...]
Developed by Platinum Games, Bayonetta is an action game that has an unusual heroine and a simple but very exciting combat system. The action, however, is constantly interrupted by long cutscenes that tell a considerably boring story.
The game’s protagonist, Bayonetta, suffers from amnesia. She is an Umbra Witch, which is a European sect that is in collusion with demons and at war with the forces of Paradise and the Lumen Priests. Now, the witches are virtually extinct and the priests are missing. When Bayonetta discovers that a lost mystical artifact of her sect, the Eyes of the World, has appeared on the black market, she sees the opportunity to unravel the mystery of [...]
Astral Chain is a curious action game, in which you basically control three characters at the same time during combat, but “action” is only a small part of the gameplay. The game is constantly mixing genres to try to offer something new, but suffers from too many underdeveloped ideas, and a story so shallow that makes Bayonetta’s feel like a masterpiece in comparison.
In Astral Chain, the protagonist – which we can name and choose the gender, but has no personality or voice whatsoever – controls a monster called Legion, which is connected to them by a special chain. The characters live on an artificial island called The Ark, which was built to protect humanity from the sudden [...]
God of War III is all about spectacle. During the intro, Kratos is tearing his enemies apart on the back of a titan who, in turn, is climbing Mount Olympus and battling a gigantic aquatic creature controlled by Poseidon. The camera is constantly moving in and out of the action to display how the scope is now even larger than before, allowing for truly stunning set pieces.
The premise of the game is very straightforward: Kratos must climb Mount Olympus and kill Zeus if he’s to fulfill his desire for revenge. In order to defeat the god, the Spartan needs the power of the Olympian Flames, which are conveniently stored inside Pandora’s Box. The journey to get the box [...]
