The Bayonetta series has a reputation for thrusting players into ridiculous situations as the titular witch, like battling demons atop a speeding jet. The upcoming sequel, Bayonetta 3 ratchets the absurdity up to 11. Not only can players control massive demons as part of their journey, but they can even use two large boats as water skis to traverse a rive like some kind of gonzo kaiju sim. At PAX West 2022, Inverse went hands-on with Bayonetta 3 to experience how this huge entry focuses on scale in a way that makes previous entries feel small by comparison. I was already sold on Bayonetta 3, but once I stepped into the clawed feet of a horribly large demon, it quickly became one of my most anticipated games of 2022.
