By far my favorite hack'n slash game, full of intense and thrilling battles, and of course, a very sexy witch. I recall watching this game trailer in early 2009, and craving for a ps3 or xbox360 to play, but didn't have money to buy those console at that time, only in 2017 i had the opportunity to get my hands on bayonetta and got addicted to this game.

I remember when previews for Bayonetta first came out, I wasn't all that sold on it for some reason. But when I tried out the demo on the PS3, I was blown away by the awesome gameplay. This was one of the very few console games I've ever pre-ordered. This was also the game that made me a big Platium Games fan.

An absolute gem of a game and one of my favourites of all time, if not my favourite. Played it in every platform, wouldn't mind to play it here too if it got released. Wish we can have all the saga on PC.

This is the greatest of all time. Witches...mosters...machine gun high heels with a main character that is unforgettable. Non stop action that keep me busy but always entertained.
Why Bayonetta Needs to Happen on GOG Bayonetta is a beloved action masterpiece that deserves a permanent home on GOG — a platform known for celebrating iconic, DRM-free classics and cult hits. Developed by PlatinumGames and originally released in 2009, Bayonetta redefined the character-action genre with its intense, stylish combat, over-the-top spectacle, and unforgettable protagonist. Bringing Bayonetta to GOG would serve both preservation and accessibility. Many PC gamers today want to own their games without DRM, launchers, or online checks — and GOG’s philosophy supports that freedom. It ensures Bayonetta can be enjoyed offline, preserved for future generations, and modded or customized with ease. Not only does Bayonetta feature some of the most fluid combat mechanics ever designed, but it also embraces a tone of unapologetic camp, mythological lore, and cinematic flair. The protagonist, Bayonetta herself, is a unique icon — equal parts stylish witch, action hero, and sassy legend. Her battles against angels, demons, and godlike foes are legendary, and the replay value is immense thanks to challenge modes and score-based rankings. Releasing Bayonetta on GOG would also open the door to a full trilogy on the platform — something fans would welcome with open arms. Imagine having the complete saga, DRM-free, with full controller support, soundtrack extras, and behind-the-scenes art packs as GOG goodies. Ultimately, Bayonetta on GOG isn't just a good idea — it's essential for fans of action games, preservationists, and everyone who believes games should be owned, not rented. Let’s make it happen.
Simply a Fantastic and Super Fun Game to Play Containing a Range of Differentiated Skins and Abilities, A Very Fun Gameplay to Enjoy. With the Vast Maps and Locations in Japan

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the PatriotsMetal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the final canonical Metal Gear game to feature Solid Snake as the main character. The gameplay of the previous games have been kept along with some new features, such as the ability to roll on your back and also to hide in bins scattered around the environment. Most of the story and the relationship between the characters are explained through cut-scenes with a considerable length, so knowledge of the prior games is recommended to fully understand the story. The game also features a complex multiplayer mode entitled Metal Gear Online with some original missions based on the stealth aspects of the single-player games.

Wolfenstein RPG
Wolfenstein RPGWolfenstein RPG is a first-person shooter and role-playing video game developed by id Software and Fountainhead Entertainment, released in September 2008 for mobile phones and in May 2009 for iOS. In 2013 the game was removed from App Store. The gameplay follows the recipe from Doom RPG as it is shown in the first person while being a turn-based role-playing game rather than a shooter and puts emphasis on the plot. Combat and movement are turn-based, allowing the player time to select their responses in combat. The player turns at 90 degree angles and moves space by space. One step or action by the player allows all other characters in the area to take one step or action themselves. The game takes advantage of its deliberately slow pace, encouraging players to take their time and check out every little corner, read the books on every bookshelf, and destroy all the furniture to see if anything is hidden within. Levels include underground passages and weapon development laboratories plus a level involving a moving vehicle. The game also includes two mini games: the card game War as well as Chicken Kicking, where the player is awarded points for kicking a chicken into a score area.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake EaterMetal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is the follow up to Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It is the first prequel in the series, taking the series to the year 1964. The player takes the role as the series' original antagonist, Big Boss, then known as Naked Snake. MGS3 is the first game in the series to take place in a jungle. This unique setting created an opportunity for new mechanics. The player can adapt to the environment by swapping Snake's camouflage, hunt animals and gather plants for food. This iteration in the series introduced a new feature in which the player must apply medicine and perform medical procedures on Snake if he is damaged in combat. Apart from the survival themed features, the controls and gameplay of the game are very similar to Metal Gear Solid 2. Like other Metal Gear games, the focus is on stealth, but the player can go through the entire game like a shooter if they choose to. Throughout the game Snake acquires weapons of all types; non-lethal firearms, handguns, sniper rifles, machine guns, shotguns, sub-machine guns, and explosives. Metal Gear Solid 3 was the first game to implement the CQC (close quarters combat) system. CQC allowed Snake to beat enemies down to knock them out, or put them in a chokehold to knock them out, kill them, or and/or question them. Metal Gear Solid 3's health system required the player to occasionally pause the game and treat Snake's ailments. When Snake is shot, there is a chance that the bullet didn't pass through him, requiring the player to use a knife to remove the bullet, apply disinfectant, apply styptic and bandage the wound. This was done through a submenu in the pause screen. Other ailments the player must treat Snake for include: leeches, broken bones, burns, cut, arrow/bolts/needles, stomach sickness, colds, and food/venom poisoning. Adding to the survival elements of the game, Snake Eater lives up to its name by requiring the player to scavenge food for Snake. Under the life bar there is stamina bar. If Snake does not eat any food the bar depletes, causing various effects. When the stamina bar is low, the player's ability to aim is severely handicapped, Snake's hands will shake in the first person aiming mode. Just like real life, Snake's stomach can also rumble, enemy soldiers can hear this, and will be alerted to Snake's presence.
