By far my favorite hack'n slash game, full of intense and thrilling battles, and of course, a very sexy witch. I recall watching this game trailer in early 2009, and craving for a ps3 or xbox360 to play, but didn't have money to buy those console at that time, only in 2017 i had the opportunity to get my hands on bayonetta and got addicted to this game.

I remember when previews for Bayonetta first came out, I wasn't all that sold on it for some reason. But when I tried out the demo on the PS3, I was blown away by the awesome gameplay. This was one of the very few console games I've ever pre-ordered. This was also the game that made me a big Platium Games fan.

An absolute gem of a game and one of my favourites of all time, if not my favourite. Played it in every platform, wouldn't mind to play it here too if it got released. Wish we can have all the saga on PC.

This is the greatest of all time. Witches...mosters...machine gun high heels with a main character that is unforgettable. Non stop action that keep me busy but always entertained.
Why Bayonetta Needs to Happen on GOG Bayonetta is a beloved action masterpiece that deserves a permanent home on GOG — a platform known for celebrating iconic, DRM-free classics and cult hits. Developed by PlatinumGames and originally released in 2009, Bayonetta redefined the character-action genre with its intense, stylish combat, over-the-top spectacle, and unforgettable protagonist. Bringing Bayonetta to GOG would serve both preservation and accessibility. Many PC gamers today want to own their games without DRM, launchers, or online checks — and GOG’s philosophy supports that freedom. It ensures Bayonetta can be enjoyed offline, preserved for future generations, and modded or customized with ease. Not only does Bayonetta feature some of the most fluid combat mechanics ever designed, but it also embraces a tone of unapologetic camp, mythological lore, and cinematic flair. The protagonist, Bayonetta herself, is a unique icon — equal parts stylish witch, action hero, and sassy legend. Her battles against angels, demons, and godlike foes are legendary, and the replay value is immense thanks to challenge modes and score-based rankings. Releasing Bayonetta on GOG would also open the door to a full trilogy on the platform — something fans would welcome with open arms. Imagine having the complete saga, DRM-free, with full controller support, soundtrack extras, and behind-the-scenes art packs as GOG goodies. Ultimately, Bayonetta on GOG isn't just a good idea — it's essential for fans of action games, preservationists, and everyone who believes games should be owned, not rented. Let’s make it happen.
Simply a Fantastic and Super Fun Game to Play Containing a Range of Differentiated Skins and Abilities, A Very Fun Gameplay to Enjoy. With the Vast Maps and Locations in Japan

Genji: Days of the Blade
Genji: Days of the BladeIt's been three years since Yoshitune Minamoto and Benkei Musashibo, warriors of the Genji Clan, defeated the Heishi Clan in a war over the "Amahagane". The Amahagane are sacred jewels which grant the owners godlike powers, such as Kamui. Now, rumors are spreading of new, ungodly creatures fighting with Heishi warriors, even without the powers of Amahagane. Yoshitsune and his companions must draw their weapons again, and with the new strength given to them by the Amahagane, defeat the new evil to save all of Japan. Genji: Days of the Blade, sequel to the PlayStation 2 game Genji: Dawn of the Samurai, is an action game, based in ancient/feudal Japan, in which you must defeat a new, mysterious source of evil to save your country. You control one of four characters (changeable in real-time), each with their own weapons, abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. Yoshitsune Minamoto and Benkei Musashibo, the main characters of the previous game, join with Gozen Shizuka and Lord Buson to complete their quest. Yoshitsune is a young warrior who wields a katana in each hand, Benkei is a mighty warrior-monk who uses a war club and a naginata for weapons. Shizuka is a nimble priestess who is adept with chained blades, and Buson is a God of War from the Overworld who carries a double saber and can use supernatural powers. The game play involves fighting many enemies and bosses with regular attacks, combo attacks, and Kamui. Kamui is a power that you can use to summon a magical space around you in which you unleash multiple special attacks on surrounding enemies by pressing buttons in series as they appear on the screen. Your Kamui bar fills as you land successful hits on opponents. The characters travel through both levels based on real locations in Japan and fantasy locations, defeating everything from regular Heishi warriors to giant, mutated enemy crabs. The level design involves platformer elements and solving small puzzles, such as destroying Masho flowers scattered throughout an area to open a door. The game also has RPG elements; you collect Amahagane and Mashogane hidden around levels and from fallen enemies. They can be used to augment character stats and weapon attack power, respectively. You can also find new weapons and items such as herbs with healing properties, or scrolls that give you attack bonuses for a period of time.
