Bayonetta 3 offers exhilarating combat and impressive setpieces that make it highly replayable. However, the Nintendo Switch version suffers from inconsistent frame rates and long load times that detract from the experience.

“If this does end up being a send-off for the Umbra witch, Bayonetta 3 will become the textbook definition of “going out in style.””
