She agrees to team up with Viola - the riot girl who fell to Earth and who claims she met Bayonetta in another realm - to search for items called Chaos Gears hidden in other universes.

Across the multiverseīayonetta 3 is gaming’s own multiverse saga, beating the MCU to the punch. The massive scope of it all makes for some sloppy moments, both technically and narratively, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find an action game that’s having as much fun as this one. It’s as if Platinum set out to one-up Hollywood’s biggest popcorn machine and assert itself as the real master of spectacle - something it accomplishes in no time flat.īayonetta 3 is the series’ wildest entry to date, mixing PlatinumGames’ knack for fast-paced combat with unbelievably entertaining set pieces that just get bigger and bigger.
