Devil May Cry and Bayonetta aren't the same genre as God of War.

God of War is a hack in slash action adventure with a 1 combo of doom style of gameplay.

DMC and Bayonetta are stylish character action games. There a huge difference.

What do you mean by 1 combo? GOW has many combos, some of which require specific button sequences and others can be formed by your own skills. Also, each God Of War game has a secondary weapon which is also very fun to use, though not as useful as the blades.


There are plenty of combos, it's just that most of them are pretty useless and there's little to discourage Square Square Triangle spamming your way through the entire game. There's very little incentive to master the combat system, whereas DMC and Bayonetta are designed specifically for the purpose of mastering combat mechanics and looking good while doing it.

DMC and Bayonetta have different focuses and aren't really hack and slash unless you're just bad, but that's like saying a puzzle game is really a patience test because you can't figure it out and have to brute force your way through.
