I'm taking my first playthrough slowly to savour it and it's still kicking rear end. It maybe has slightly too many gimmick stages but they break things up. I might just start skipping the story altogether, I know it doesn't really matter and I'm going to play the game a million times anyway but man it's gone from fun stupid like 1 and 2 to actively lovely in a non-fun way lol. Whose idea was all this Luka stuff

I think there's still fun-stupid in spades but the plot itself is disconnected and not very good by virtue of being a multiverse story. I like the last 2 alternative universe Bayonettas more than the others, I thought they both had a decent spin on the "predetermined" universe falling apart stuff. Dunno how far you are so I won't talk about Luka but his stuff doesn't rub me any sort of way for various reasons

I can only think of a couple I don't like having to replay

The cards, figures and records add concept art, 3d models and music to the gallery, the tears of blood you get from animals unlock short bonus levels, and the medallion fragments or w/e unlock a short bonus boss the rest are just health/magic upgrades, crafting materials and Lore

There are some weird design decisions with enemies in this game. Bayo 1 and 2 had really good sound cues for their attacks whereas I feel like a lot of the bigger foes in this are almost silent and I keep eating poo poo when I can't keep up with the amount of visual noise on screen. Also they just routinely attack from offscreen which just feels bad, I get that you could probably cheese a lot of 1/2 enemies by keeping them off screen but who cares, that's just another method of crowd control. These are pretty minor issues, overall I like the combat more than 2, demon slave/wink slave is much better than umbral climax. I'm still getting used to Viola, her parries feel a bit weird and i dont like being unable to block at all when her katana is thrown out or Chesire is on screen, but I think I'm trying to play her as Bayonetta and it wants me to be more methodical

The only enemy I haven't liked fighting so far is the first phase of the monkey boss. Unless I just fundamentally misunderstood how that fight was supposed to work it just seemed like a lot of off screen flailing and very few opportunities to actually damage it

Unless I just fundamentally misunderstood how that fight was supposed to work it just seemed like a lot of off screen flailing and very few opportunities to actually damage it I think you blow the bubbles to get him to stick in place and then get a prompt to slap him. It was not super clear but I somehow got a platinum even though I was just mashing buttons and swaying my cursor everywhere. On Chapter 11 and it's fully sick, the game is much more fun when you're not fighting the new homunculus enemies who are a bit boring imo. The alfheim at the start of chapter 10 (Witch Time only with Viola) was horrible, I managed to get a silver with Moon and that's all it's getting, I'm not doing it again. Is there any mechanical difference between Viola's parry and the Moon parry? If not I'm just going to keep using the latter and trying to train my muscle memory since I can use it with Bayonetta too

I meant before the transformation scene, when you fight him in the square castle floor with lava as it jumps around the walls and like swings huge fists just across the screen.

beat the game now and I have absolutely no idea who the villain was or why Luka is now a werewolf and also the king of the fairies. It's weird that Viola is just Nero again and I don't really know why she's in the game, but hopefully Bayo 4 will redeem her like DMC5 did Nero. Whatever. I'm glad Platinum had a good game left in them before they were forced to make gacha games forever, I'm going to replay this 100 times other than Level 10 Phase 1 which is horrible.
