Most of that is also perfectly portrayed in gameplay. To top it off, Bayonetta portrays herself as a sexy but confident and extremely powerful character through both her dialogue and body language. With Bayonetta being nothing short of a sultry yet impressive show-off, most of these summons leave her quite often borderline naked, with a few tactically placed strands of hair to block off just enough from view.

An important aesthetic detail is that all of these summoned appearances are made from Bayonneta's own hair. Through it, she can summon portals that conjure gigantic hands, feet or even animal-like demons for when she needs to finish off a particularly big foe. The titular character Bayonetta skillfully dispatches of them all using her powers that she obtained from a deal with Madame Butterfly, one of the most powerful demons in Inferno. From small winged statue heads to a pudgy statue-like creature with two dragon heads and an upside down face, who happens to also be the size of an entire city.

But Bayonetta has clearly set a standard when it took the genre by storm. Granted, a franchise like Devil May Cry or a title like Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance tend to not stay that far away from the discussion either. When you bring up games that hack and slash, punch and maim or simply tear apart gigantic boss creatures, you'll often find someone wanting to compare it to Bayonetta.

This latter fate seems to have been largely spared for Bayonetta, even though it fills a similar role when it comes to comparisons. However, a comparison to Dark Souls is now more often met with a groan as it has become an overused crutch to describe a brutally difficult game, even though there's more to the Dark Souls formula beyond dying a whole lot. Throughout the years, games like Dark Souls have become the de facto standard for comparison when it comes to brutal difficulty. Enough time to wear out a second-hand car and enough time to see one of the most iconic third-person character action games to arrive from the grasp of the consoles, making a pit stop past the Wii U in 2014.
