Bayonetta 2.
The story takes the events of the first game and finally brings things full circle, introduces many new enemies and abilities, and the new weapons are absolutely incredible.
Oh, and the Nintendo costumes?
All of them, EVERY SINGLE ONE, has a gimmick attached to it that makes it worth wearing and using, with the exception of the Princess Peach/Daisy costumes, in combat.
Link costume turns the Shuraba into the Master Sword and lets you use the Hylian Shield for counters without needing to equip the accessory that usually does it.
Samus costume allows you to become a morph ball and lay bombs which are pretty effective, and the charged shot from the arm cannon is extremely powerful.[also can control the visor during cut-scenes, which is hilarious]
And the Fox outfit is probably the coolest; your guns turn into Arwings[that can lock on and everything!], and during the first stage where you're fighting on a Jet, and the later stage where you're controlling one, you get to fight on/control an Arwing instead!
Oh, did I mention the music?
The Music is absolutely ******** amazing.
I could spend an afternoon just listening to the tracks from the game. Easily. There's so much good stuff in there.
Also, the online mode, Tag Climax?
Must play. Co-operative and competitive at the same time. It's soooooo much fun, and you get Halos as a reward for winning, too!
The challenge is huge, the unlockables are worth having, the story and humor is pretty high grade for an action game, and it's all-around one of the best purchase decisions I've ever made.
It is most definitely the best action game of the year, bar none.
10 climaxes out of 10.
Pure skillful action bliss.
