During an impressive hands-on preview of Bayonetta 3, we fought a giant fish, beat the hell out of monsters, and wore literal boat as shoes.
Game previews should be taken with some skepticism. When you see one, you are looking at a single slice of the game, carefully curated to accentuate the best parts of the gameplay and presentation, while minimizing any potential shortcomings. When I had the chance to play 15 minutes of Bayonetta 3 behind closed doors at PAX West, I applied every bit of healthy cynicism I could muster, and came away with one conclusion.
The relationship between Bayonetta and Infernal demons takes an interesting turn in Bayonetta 3. In previous games, the demons were something you could summon, but they played as little more than dressed-up quick-time events. They were explosive spectacles, but something to be watched more than experienced. Now they seem to factor directly into gameplay, in more ways than one.
I dodge attacks from the creature, flying trains, and shattered structures all while soaking in the mesmerizing scale. Eventually the action begins to speed through an aqueduct, and my demon jumps aboard four boats, one on each foot, to surf after the massive creature. It was outrageous in the best way, and extremely on brand for the series.
The massive, sweeping attacks from the demons felt powerful, but what intrigued me the most was the way it wove into the rest of combat. The summons pop out of the ground at the touch of a button, and disappear just as quickly.
