I bought the Switch port with a free code for Bayonetta 1 during the pandemic because a classmate recommended it to me. Knowing next to nothing about this franchise, I got buyers remorse, but after playing the two, I think it was one of the best decisions I've made in my life lmao this game is a step up from 1 on so many levels. The gameplay is fast and real fun, the graphics are more beautiful, the character designs are nothing short of amazing, and it's as campy as ever. The difficulty is up a notch given the shorter Witch Times and Umbran Climax is too heavily relied on, but I still think it's my favorite game of the 3 main Bayo games. This, B3, and Origins deserve to have ports. More people need to play the games of this franchise.

i have no memory of it, because i've never played it, since nintendo locked it to the wii or switch or whatever... so, if we can get it on pc, that would be great.

I played Bayonetta 1 on PC but I bought the Switch only for Bayonetta 2 and 3. Didn't really buy any other games for the Switch. The franchise means a lot to me.

First played Bayonetta 1 on the ps3, then Bayo 2 on the wii, and last bought all of them for the switch including Cereza and The Lost Demons, love this franchise so much, my favourite Hack n’ Slash, and i just can’t get enough of bayonetta. I love this franchise so much.
Absolute blast when i got into this series fully back in 2022! This is one of thr best in the entire genre and it alleviates the awful QTE deaths of the first game here!
This game was the introduction to the series for me when I was 14. I knew nothing about the game but the combat and music has stuck with me ever since! This game deserves a port on PC!

One of the best action games ever made. I bought it used and somehow it still had the first game code intact. It was amazing and I still go back to beat it multiple times per year. I love this game so so much, just wish we could elevate it with PC hardware
Why Bayonetta 2 Needs to Happen on GOG Bayonetta 2 is one of the most exhilarating, stylish, and mechanically refined action games ever made — and it deserves a DRM-free release on GOG. Originally launched in 2014 as a Wii U exclusive and later ported to the Nintendo Switch, this sequel takes everything great about the original Bayonetta and dials it up to 11: faster combat, more outrageous set pieces, slick visuals, and a tighter narrative. Releasing Bayonetta 2 on GOG would not only preserve this action classic for future generations, but it would also provide players the freedom to own and enjoy the game on their terms — without the restrictions of digital rights management or mandatory launchers. GOG has become a sanctuary for legendary titles, and Bayonetta 2 fits right into that legacy. The game’s combat system is a masterclass in responsiveness and creativity, rewarding players who take the time to learn its depth. Witch Time, Torture Attacks, and Umbran Climax return with enhancements that make every battle feel like a choreographed dance of destruction. And let’s not forget the boss fights — absolutely bonkers in scale and spectacle. Bringing Bayonetta 2 to GOG also paves the way for the full trilogy to live on one platform, giving fans the ability to experience Bayonetta’s entire journey DRM-free, with controller support, high-performance PC features, and potential extras like concept art and soundtracks. Bayonetta 2 on GOG isn't just a wish — it's a necessity for fans of action games, digital preservation, and player choice.
Bayonetta 2 is a game that I have not played so far, but had fond memories watching as a kid in 2014-15. It looks amazing, even on Wii U and Switch specs, and the fact that this game and 3 are not on PC/PS4/PS5/Xbox is abysmal in a way, even when Nintendo owns the IP, adding to the fact that Bayonetta 1 is on PS4/PC/Xbox since Sega published that game. I do hope that Nintendo gives porting games a chance and releases 2 and 3 on PC, even with their own digital storefront similar to Steam and Epic Games, and even GOG. I especially want this game along with 3 on GOG because they deserve to be preserved more than just being on one or two Nintendo platforms, and then it is constantly being ported on multiple future Nintendo consoles. Even if this is 95% not happening anytime soon, I am still hopeful that Nintendo could port their games on PC in any way, maybe GOG. But still, I believe one of the realistic outcomes for Nintendo to port some of their games on PC would be to make their very own digital storefront, a PC eShop, similar to Steam, GOG and Epic Games, but with Nintendo games exclusive to their storefront.

Spasim
SpasimSpasim (abbreviation of 'space simulation') was a 32-player 3D networked computer game by Jim Bowery involving 4 planetary systems with up to 8 players per planetary system, released in March 1, 1974. Jim Bowery claims that it is the very first 3D multiplayer game and has offered reward of US $500 to anyone who could document an example of a multiplayer 3D virtual reality game prior to Spasim. In Spasim the players flew around in space and to each other they appeared as wire-frame space ships. Their positions were updated about every second. The game was played on the PLATO computer system, and was heavily influenced by another PLATO space multiplayer game Empire. Later 3D multiplayer games on the PLATO network included airace by Silas Warner that evolved into airfight (by Brand Fortner), and then spawned Panther by John Edo Haefeli at NW University. Atari, Inc had a PLATO account and Panther is said to be the origin of Battlezone while airfight led up to Sublogic's Microsoft Flight Simulator. Also, Panther was developed into the more sophisticated Panzer by the US Army.

DogDay
DogDayIn this 1st-person, point and click adventure game, you play a dog (in a dog's universe) living under the brutal and corrupt regime of a dictator named Chegga. Chegga has full control of the media and has placed his friends in positions of power. Players must collect evidence of Chegga's wrong doing and sell it to a shadowy group called C.A.T.S. (Coalition Against Totalitarian Society) which will presumably use the information to wrest control from Chegga. In selling this information, the goal is also to be gaining enough money to purchase a train ticket, leave this part of the world, and try to make a better life.

Dark Side
Dark SideThe game is set on the alien moon Tricuspid orbiting the planet Evath. Terrorists (the Ketars, the villains of the first game Driller) hijacked the moon's facilities and built Zephyr One, an immense beam weapon on the moon's dark side with the purpose of destroying Evath. The player is a government agent, sent secretly to the moon's surface with the mission of deactivating the weapon before it becomes fully charged. This is accomplished by destroying a power network in the form of ECD (Energy Collection Device) columns, dotted around the moon and connected with power lines all the way to the beam weapon. An ECD (Energy Collection Device) column. To destroy the ECD, the player needs to shoot the top part of the column. To complete the mission, the player has at his disposal an arsenal of beam weapons mounted on a jetpack equipped pressure suit. The aim is to destroy all ECDs in a specific order and avoid capture and death by the traps left by the terrorists. ECDs are connected to power lines and can only be destroyed when all preceding ECDs have been deactivated, otherwise they will instantly regenerate. The player has limited amount of time available to complete the game, based on the energy accumulated in Zephyr One. When the weapon is fully charged, the beam is fired destroying Evath and the game ends. As the player destroys ECDs, the charge accumulation rate is reduced, allowing more time for the player to complete the mission. The game's environment is displayed in first person view with the player seeing the world through the suit's helmet. A targeting crosshair displayed in the helmet's HUD allowing the player to fire the suit's weapon at specific locations. The player can move in all directions by walking or activating the jetpack. The suit is powered by an energy source that gets depleted with every movement and it is allocated between "shields" and "fuel". When the shields charge is depleted, the player is vulnerable to enemy fire and simply bumping into walls can end the game. Fuel is vital for horizontal and vertical movement and the game ends as soon as its depleted. There are a number of "recharge" points (in the form of columns) hidden in the game where the player can replenish the suit's energy supply. There are also a number of energy conversion devices that allow transforming shield energy to fuel and vice versa.

Agile Warrior F-111X
Agile Warrior F-111XAgile Warrior F-111X is a flight combat game that puts you in the heat of battle against terrorists. It seems some sort of agency is threatening the general welfare of the country, and it is up to you to thwart its diabolical plans. In order to stop the enemy, you'll take to the skies in your trusty aircraft (a combination of the YF-23, X-31, and the F-111). Like Air Combat, there are various missions to conquer (over six in all). There are stealth missions requiring you to avoid radar, bombing, and missile raids, and straight-up dogfights. Resistance comes in the form of other aircraft, sea cruisers, ground turrets, and missiles. Your plane has the ability to detect enemies on radar, fire various missile weapons, and cloak itself from radar (very handy for those stealth missions). In order to survive, each feature must be utilized and learned by the player. Certain objectives require the use of heat-seeking missiles and strategy. If you go in with guns and missiles blazing, in all likelihood, you'll get shot out of the sky.

Fate/Extra
Fate/ExtraFate/Extra is a dungeon crawl style Japanese role-playing game. The game takes place in a parallel universe to the visual novel Fate/stay night. At the start of the game, the player may choose to play as either a male or female character, as well as selecting one of three Servants — Saber, Archer, or Caster, each with different strengths and weaknesses. Players spend one ingame "week" interacting with other characters, viewing scenes that advance the game's story, talking to their Servant in their room, and gathering clues to the identity of the enemy Servant. At the end of each day, they enter the Arena, a dungeon in which they can battle monsters to gain experience points and strengthen their Servant. The game's turn-based battle system is comparable to rock-paper-scissors -- "Attack" overpowers "Break", Break overpowers "Guard", and Guard overpowers Attack. During battle, both the player and the opponent line up six such moves at the beginning of each turn.
