As with any character-action experience, the goal of the game is to master play with Bayonetta’s specific movesets and all of the weapon-based variations she can pick up along the way. It is important to keep in mind that the storyline of “Bayonetta 2” is far from being the focus of the game. It is at this point that motivations in the game become muddled to the player, and keeping track of everybody’s character histories and allegiances is a losing battle.

After a sudden attack by angels, the titular witch finds herself unable to control one of her demonic familiars and Jeanne sacrifices herself to save Bayonetta. Following the events of the original in which Bayonetta defeated the godlike Jubileus and recovered her memories, the sequel finds her acclimating to life as an Umbra Witch and readying a Christmas party with fellow witch Jeanne (yes, the plot begins with party-planning).
