Bayonetta 2
Bayonetta 2
Bayonetta 2, développé par PlatinumGames et édité par Nintendo, est sorti sur Wii U le 20 septembre 2014. Quelques mois après les événements du premier opus, l'héroïne et Jeanne affrontent un groupe d'anges ayant attaqué une ville en pleine parade ; lors d'une invocation démoniaque ayant mal tourné, Jeanne sauve Bayonetta mais son âme est emportée par les profondeurs de l'Enfer. Sur les indications de son informateur Enzo, Bayonetta se rend alors sur la montagne sacrée de Fimbulvinter, où se trouverait une entrée des portes de l'Enfer, afin de secourir son amie. Le jeu propose des combats complexes au sein de décors spectaculaires en HD, où la protagoniste enchaîne combos et armes variées et invoque des démons via l'Umbran Weave, dans un style d'action frénétique mêlant shooter, aventure et hack 'n' slash. La durée principale est estimée à neuf heures, contre quarante-sept pour une approche complétionniste, et l'œuvre affiche une note agrégée de 89,44. La presse a salué le titre, Edge Magazine y voyant un gain pour Nintendo après la perte de Sega et FNintendo évoquant un chef-d'œuvre de l'action aux combats épiques et à la réalisation soignée ; certains joueurs sur Metacritic ont apprécié une version plus polie que le premier volet tout en relevant la répétitivité de quelques boss, tandis que d'autres ont vanté le niveau de conception, de rythme et de contrôle du jeu.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Sega's loss is Nintendo's gain: Bayonetta, twirling away from a gigantic demon's maw and smacking the highest choir of angels on the nose, has just given Wii U its first true classic. [Nov 2014, p.100] »
« Quite possibly the best action game ever made, Bayonetta 2 is a pure gem of wonder, filled with epic fights, perfect gameplay, a magnificent visual and sound environment and even a multiplayer mode which fits perfectly within the format. A diabolical masterpiece that no Wii U should go without. »
« It is a masterclass in pure, unadulterated action-game design, where its insane eye-popping visuals meld effortlessly with some of the sharpest, most joyful combat to have ever graced a video game. »
« Bayonetta 2 is the perfect action game. It oozes style and boasts gameplay that's both refined and lacking in excess. The combat is so purely entertaining that it's easy to lose yourself in the almost-zen flow of dodging, countering and kicking enemies to death. »
« It not only plays great, but there's so much style involved in just about every animation. Dashing turns you into a panther, double-jumping allows you to sprout butterfly wings, hovering turns you into a crow. Everything from the snapshot "photo finish" effect of completing a challenge room is painstakingly detailed. »
« With Bayonetta 2, Wii U has its trump card: a queen of spades that takes advantages on almost every game of the genre and hits us right in the heart. It's an outstanding production, beautifully executed, with state of the art mechanics and ridiculously generous. And it can be enjoyed by everyone as its difficulty and handling can be adjusted. Definitely a beat them all no one has the right to ignore. »
« Intense, gorgeous and thrilling to play, this is Platinum’s best game so far...A non-stop climax of excitement from the moment you start the Prologue, this is one of those games that demands to be played. »
« Buy it if you liked the first one. Buy it, if you love it over the top all the way. Buy it if you love video games. Buy a Wii U if you have to. Bayonetta 2 sings all its praises in a celebration to this hobby of ours. But don't make the mistake of not playing it. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« this game was everything I was wanting it to be, just a more polished version of the first game, my biggest knock was some bosses were a bit repetitive but overall a great experience and far better than the first »
« Perfect level design. Perfect pacing. Perfect controls. Perfect soundtrack. Perfect ass. 10/10 »
« WORST GAME EVER SO SO MID I CANT EVEN DECRIBE IT IT MAKES ME WANNA KMS ITS SO ASS »
« I played it on Switch. This is a good game. - PLUS : The music ! The artistic direction . Some of the cinematic ! Some fights - MINUS : Sometimes the fights are too confuse and repetitive. Some ennemies are not fun to fight. The game is not long and there is almost no exploration. A really really good beat 'em'all, really. But not more than that. »
« Greatest action game and franchise oat,if ur name isnt dmc u dont even come close simple. »
« Continuaram com o conceito, coesão e aclamação do primeiro jogo, mesma ideia e design, eu amei isso é INCRÍVEL! »
« Hard to believe that this game is a wii U exclusive. I played it so much, this is The God of War of Nintendo. It's even better than God of war on many levels. »
« No he jugado el juego pero no se por qué Metacritic "autoreseñó" y no me deja borrar esta reseña. No es la primera vez que pasa. »
