Bayonetta 2 has a refined combat system that feels just as sharp as the original, with the addition of the Umbran Climax (which I liked). I also liked being able to equip weapons more freely.
The story? Pretty flat. Cereza felt completely out of character, basically passive the whole time, and the usual **** jokes and aura farming are gone.
Overall, the gameplay is fun, but I don’t see myself replaying it. It’s worth it mainly if you want more after the first game.

Bayonetta 2 is a dazzling display of action-packed, over-the-top combat that never loses momentum. With fluid and precise controls, it lets you chain together insane combos with grace and style. Bayonetta herself is as charismatic as ever, with a flair that only she can pull off. The levels are larger, the enemies more creative, and the spectacle cranked up to eleven. The only slight flaw? It’s a bit short for those craving more. Still, it’s a near-perfect experience for action fans and a wild ride from start to finish.

Takes Bayonetta and makes her flashier and cooler.
New combat mechanics, while a bit overpowered, are satisfying, levels are just as hype as the first game and the soundtrack is fantastic once again

Bayonetta 2 builds on everything that made the original great, and delivers one of the best action games of the year.
