I’ve been playing Bayonetta on and off for a bit of time, and now that I’m near the end of it (just started Requiem), the genre kinda grew on me, which surprised me quite a bit.
I see loads of games being thrown in the same bag:
- Bayonetta
- Devil May Cry
- Darksiders
- Ninja Gaiden
- No More Heroes
- God of War
- several Warriors/Musou games
- etc. etc.
So I was wondering what makes any specific game in the general genre distinct and special, and wanted to discuss in this thread.
My experience with this genre is limited as the Switch is my first ever console, but I will share what little experience I have in a comment.
P.S. I hope this thread will be a bit more lively than my previous try with the Different types of 3D platformers thread.
