When Viola was a kid, her dad told her about the multiverse, leaving her with this haunting thought: “I’d always believed there was only one truth. This story may appear to be about women, since you only play as Bayonetta, Viola, and (briefly) Jeanne, but this opening monologue is all about Viola’s father - an important piece of foreshadowing, because the patriarchy ends up playing a significant role this time around. Instead, the first voice we hear is a brand-new character named Viola she’s a teenage, punk rock witch in training who serves as the secondary protagonist. PlatinumGames’ newest entry in the Bayonetta story opens with a monologue, but it’s not from Bayonetta. Unfortunately, that is the exact situation I face in reviewing Bayonetta 3. It’s also hard to review a video game when it’s the third entry in a series of which you’re a super fan, to the point that it feels almost like a personal insult when the ending doesn’t line up with where you wanted the series to go.
