I must say, that I never really liked to play a game where the Protagonist is a female. Not that I don't like girls, on contraire, I really love them, its just that in my mindset, coming from the background of playing games where the boys / man are the heroes and the girls / woman are the damsels in distress, I see woman as the one who should be protected and loved instead of them fighting of hordes and hordes of monsters and they are the one protecting the man.

Her slender body, matched with a music to par, dancing while pouncing on the enemies are truly a sight to be hold
That all changed when I play
Bayonetta. It is hard to accept at first, one so beautiful and graceful could become so benevolent with huge armory of weaponry and moves to kill even the most monstrous of opponents.
Fly me to the moon, and let me stay among the stars, let me see how spring is like on jupiter or mars
It feels like the memory of watching all that sailormoon anime back in my childhood haunts me still while playing this game. Although the roughness and toughness of Bayonetta's personality (yet somehow she showed a woman's sweet, lovable and chicky persona that we love) reminded me that this is not your typical anime cartoon.
Although it seems hard to control her at first, due to lots of weapons, magic and move sets to learn and muster. But after much hard fought battles, the skills and moves seems to be engraved to my muscle memory whereas when surrounded by group of enemies, I would know which enemy attacks first and dodge the attack and trigger the witch time. And when in Witch Time, all my combos would simply be lashed out almost automatically.
The combos I liked the most are the shuraba and durga (fire) combination.
P, P, K (Hold), K (Hold) and repeat
The two slashes would keep enemies at bay while the kick (hold) would trigger a bomb and the other kick (hold) would trigger another bomb. These bombs would trigger an explosion on impact, or just blow away in a few seconds untouched. I tried it on a Beloved and it took a hefty half bar damage of the enemy (per bomb!).
This is truly a wonderful game. All that is left for me in this game is to defeat the last of the Lumen Sage, no not Balder,
