It's hard to imagine a games industry without the unstoppable influence of Bayonetta, at least when it comes to the character-action scene. Coming from the talented minds of Hideki Kamiya and the rest of the PlatinumGames team, Bayonetta managed to capture the strong characterization, unapologetic campiness, and flair that defined previous games like Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden. Indeed, in many ways, the first Bayonetta surpasses these franchises.
