The changes in Bayonetta 2 aren’t going to wow anyone, but for those who missed out on the experience during the days of the Wii U – and let’s face it, that is a lot of people – or for those that want to play the definitive version of the game ahead of the launch of Bayonetta 3, this title is definitely something you’ll want to pick up.
