By far my favorite hack'n slash game, full of intense and thrilling battles, and of course, a very sexy witch. I recall watching this game trailer in early 2009, and craving for a ps3 or xbox360 to play, but didn't have money to buy those console at that time, only in 2017 i had the opportunity to get my hands on bayonetta and got addicted to this game.

I remember when previews for Bayonetta first came out, I wasn't all that sold on it for some reason. But when I tried out the demo on the PS3, I was blown away by the awesome gameplay. This was one of the very few console games I've ever pre-ordered. This was also the game that made me a big Platium Games fan.

An absolute gem of a game and one of my favourites of all time, if not my favourite. Played it in every platform, wouldn't mind to play it here too if it got released. Wish we can have all the saga on PC.

Why Bayonetta Needs to Happen on GOG Bayonetta is a beloved action masterpiece that deserves a permanent home on GOG — a platform known for celebrating iconic, DRM-free classics and cult hits. Developed by PlatinumGames and originally released in 2009, Bayonetta redefined the character-action genre with its intense, stylish combat, over-the-top spectacle, and unforgettable protagonist. Bringing Bayonetta to GOG would serve both preservation and accessibility. Many PC gamers today want to own their games without DRM, launchers, or online checks — and GOG’s philosophy supports that freedom. It ensures Bayonetta can be enjoyed offline, preserved for future generations, and modded or customized with ease. Not only does Bayonetta feature some of the most fluid combat mechanics ever designed, but it also embraces a tone of unapologetic camp, mythological lore, and cinematic flair. The protagonist, Bayonetta herself, is a unique icon — equal parts stylish witch, action hero, and sassy legend. Her battles against angels, demons, and godlike foes are legendary, and the replay value is immense thanks to challenge modes and score-based rankings. Releasing Bayonetta on GOG would also open the door to a full trilogy on the platform — something fans would welcome with open arms. Imagine having the complete saga, DRM-free, with full controller support, soundtrack extras, and behind-the-scenes art packs as GOG goodies. Ultimately, Bayonetta on GOG isn't just a good idea — it's essential for fans of action games, preservationists, and everyone who believes games should be owned, not rented. Let’s make it happen.

Heretic
HereticThree brothers, known as the Serpent Riders, have used their powerful magic to possess seven kings of Parthoris into mindless puppets and corrupt their armies. The Sidhe elves resist the Serpent Riders' magic. The Serpent Riders thus declared the Sidhe as heretics and waged war against them. The Sidhe are forced to take a drastic measure to sever the natural power of the kings destroying them and their armies, but at the cost of weakening the elves' power, giving the Serpent riders an advantage to slay the elders. While the Sidhe retreat, one elf, sets off on a quest of vengeance against the weakest of the three Serpent Riders, D'Sparil. He travels through the "City of the Damned", the ruined capital of the Sidhe, then past Hell's Maw and finally the Dome of D'Sparil.
