Very hit or miss type of company. They make really good games (nier automata or bayonetta) or straight garbage (babylons fall)
If this were sports, they're that one athlete who might carry the team one day to a win, and then the next day they might be dead weight.
Have they ever been dead weight when playing for team Nintendo so far though?
Trash-tier. Avoid.
They make a lot of shit to keep the lights on and are mismanaged as hell, but when they release a good game they knock it out the park.
One of the few developers that focus more on gameplay over anything else.
Yes
great
Makes sense I guess. This feels like a modern day Clover game.
Just like your opinions
Not always. Wonderful 101 is awful.
They're the Nicholas Cage of gamedevs.
They spent money on the OST.
Its sick. Okami level effort from PG on this one. People will slowly start to realize how insanely good it is.
I picked it up but I feel like it will be a while until I get around to it. Seems from reviews like people who don't dig the "control 2 people at once" gameplay hate it and if they don't have an issue with that they love it

I'm at 41%, and I played quite a bit this weekend. Feels like a full game for sure. Long as any of the previous Bayonetta games.
Someone seriously needs to make a gif of this whole sequence.
I respect your opinion. Yes the levels are largely linear and it is a casual game. But I just took down the Jabberwock and honestly feel they tried to push the combat to the limit without it being broken. It was a a great boss; better than most Zelda bosses. I think they purposefully, and intelligently shied away from crushing difficulty when controlling two characters.In the middle of my second playthrough
First the game's presentation is simply amazing and full of details,each animation is unique and cool looking,the scenary looks as if it was painted by hand this is one gorgeous looking forest , the plot fills in the backstory well and the characters are charming, the combat system works as its so fun to beat those faeries with Chesire (if a bit simple.)the bosses become more and more EPIC as you play and the game ends on a high note,also the music is just wonderful
The only real problem i have is that Bayonetta Origins is clearly directed at a casual audience,wich can be good or bad depending on who you are,there is handholding,the combat unfortunately never becomes challenging or complex enough,even after upgrading the skill tree ,some of the puzzles are quite clever, but again not too challenging that you are going to get stuck on them,there is a focus on exploration and item collecting, but most of it is placed on a linear path that is not worth exploring the map over, kinda reminds me of Metroid Dread
What's more interesting about Bayonetta Origins is that the design template works well for future games,the camera perspective, art, and level design is a success and fits the Bayonetta world,if you take this game,add a deeper combat system,an actual scoring system,bigger level design,more challenge with less handholding you are going to get a true classic
As it is i have to agree with the 80 scores,from what i seen the fans who are playing it are surprised and give positive impressions so there's that at least
Yo can you post the open critic forum API link on Gaf? You can do this on reddit and it'll post all the data automatically.
Generally good scores.
It has 4-5 low scores that drag it down considerably on the metric scale, so this could easily be a bit higher.
Unfortunately, the game has some seriously low hype levels. I think some of the trailers were a bit weak, cause it looks better than I thought if you just watch some gameplay.
