Bump.

I only played the first one and part of the 3rd. I usually dont play every installment of a hack and slash series. But it was an amazing game with lots of weird satanic erotica

1 > 2 >>>>>> 3

I think 1 had the best game play and balance (Umbran Climax OP, pls nerf), Jeane was a more fun rival battle than Masked Lumen (it's close, though), and the story was the least bad. Also the side character in that game (Cereza) was actually pretty charming, while as Loki was annoying and Viola...made me miss Loki so badly....

Only major knock against it is the instant death QTEs, but if you fail them you restart right from there anyway so unless you're chasing platinum trophies (I wasn't), it doesn't matter much. And if you are...then git gud?

2 is nearly as good. I should also say that I tend to give more credit to the first game in the series that actually establishes the formula, game engine, etc... Because let's be real... Bayo 2 basically just cribbed everything for gameplay from 1. Which is fine, all we wanted was more Bayonetta gameplay (*glares at Bayo 3*), I'm just saying...I award more points to the game that created it than the follow-ons.

3 is absolute fucking dog shit in every possible way compared to the other two. Viola fucking sucks, the gameplay is worse, the character designs are worse, even the impeccable music of the series is notably weaker, and most of all the plot is no longer merely bad but downright insulting to your intelligence and to the characters, the villain a fucking faceless nobody, and stuff just literally makes no god damned sense, like not even internally to the Bayonetta universe where yeah, you accept a lot of shit like lolipops healing you and so on.
