#34 - Bayonetta 2 - Nintendo Wii U / Switch
#33 - Devil May Cry 3 - PS2 / Nintendo Switch
The best games of their series, and the second greatest character action games ever made, both games have family as their main theme too.
Bayonetta 2 is a good improvement over the original, eliminates the aggravating stuff of the original, like the instakill QTEs, the janky shoot em up sections, is more pleasing to look at with a more vibrant world and contrast, and the core gameplay is elevated by a lot of memorable set pieces, that besides the final boss, I put over the original game. The addition of Umbral Climax give an extra oomph to Bayonetta's attacks, and an overall more satisfying option than the torture moves, Also Tomorrow is Mine is fucking amazing.
Devil May Cry 3 besides one platforming section, and the boss rush, every mission is pretty good, super well paced between its story bits, when it slows down, when to throw a boss fight or the next Vergil sequence, a great combat system, and now with the Nintendo Switch version is even better thanks to the ability to free style like DMC4, and the entire weapon wheel at your disposal at any time like DMC5, it brings Dante from 3 near the level of complexity and diverse character expression that those games have, elevating an already excellent game into a more, excellenter? one.
