    Perfect game. Likely the best i've seen from the 2019 game catalog. A great hack and slash game with a good story and very interesting and exciting new game mechanics.

    Platinum games has released another smash hit on the Switch Console. The gameplay is unique and extremely fun and the scenery and graphics are up there with the rest of the first party games.

    I really like the graphics and the gameplay of this game. However, I do think that the controls do take some time to get used to. Once used to, the combos with the Chimera are actually cool.

    Fast paced. Check. Frenetic combat. Check. Story that barely makes sense. Check. Platinum games made another great one shot game. The ones who were studio clover have done it again.

    A truly fun, button mashing game that mixes it up with combos, alternate ways to take on Chimeras and awards people who go explore the worlds. It’s Bayonnetta meets Final Fantasy

    Awesome game. Platinum does it again. Watched Vinesauce play thru this on twitch and I loved it so much I needed to do my own playthru. I never do this. So yeah, worth the money!

    This game is a lot different than the other games that platinum games has made but that is not a bad thing! It has the gameplay of bayonetta mixed with exploration of being Batman!

    Platinum Games never disappoints. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a hack and slash. I love the sci-fi cyberpunk feel, which is rare for a Switch exclusive.

    A surprisingly fresh take on Platinum's action game style, this one has a fully fleshed-out world and some great side content, along with a nice twist on battles. Pick it up.

    Very unique combat using the whole astral chain gimmick. Slick and stylish with slightly slower, more thoughtful combat mechanics compared to other Platinum games. Fantastic!

    I really enjoyed this game! I thought it took the best elements of Bayonetta and improved upon them. However, a major flaw with it was the camera which would move at random even when targeting a specific enemy. This often made me quite sick and took a while to get used to. Other than that it was quite an amazing game!
