Evillordexdeath 05/22/20 10:20:43 PM #72:	Prologue: Rank: Gold Yesterday I played the interactive intro to this game. This level is the proper tutorial, explaining Bayonetta's light and heavy attacks, basic combos, dodge, and Witch Time, which slows down enemies if you dodge at the last possible second for some safe follow-up attacks. It might be described as a more involved version of the parry mechanic from Dark Souls. Unlike that, the amount of damage you get out of Witch Time varies, to an extent, based on your individual skill. After a large brawl in a graveyard, there's a second sequence on an exploding plane that tutorializes the magic meter, which lets you perform pre-animated instant-kills on certain enemies. I failed this part the first time by going over the time limit, but got the "pure platinum" rating on my second attempt. Go figure. Chapter 1 Rank: Silver The first time we see the gameplay involve anything except combat. There are exploration sections and some obstacles to get around. I would hesitate to call them "puzzles." They're extensions of the combat mechanics, actually. There are walls you have to execute combos to get through and sections where you use enchanted statues to call lightning strikes upon yourself, so you can dodge them to activate Witch Time. For such a combat-centric game, it does make sense to use the battle mechanics in the other sections. I made it partway through Chapter 2 before realizing how late it was and putting the PS4 into sleep mode so I could get ready for work. I guess that's a good sign! The story is extremely frenetic in its pacing so far, to the point of being a little disorienting. We're introduced to Bayonetta's past, the roles of witches and sages which are neutral parties in a conflict between Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory, and arcs involving Bayonetta's lost partner-turned-enemy and what I think is her daughter, as well as a chap who is ineptly hunting Bayonetta after she killed his father. Actually, a lot of the cutscenes do put a smile on my face, and I think the ultra-fast pacing helps keep things light-hearted and fun. --- I'm playing every game from GotD 2020!
