Bayonetta (2010, Xbox 360) is PlatinumGames at their absolute wildest — a high-octane hack-and-slash where the enemies are literal angels, the combos never stop, and your main weapon is… your hair. Directed by Hideki Kamiya (the guy behind Devil May Cry), this cult classic takes over-the-top action to a whole new level and never apologizes for it.

You play as Bayonetta, a witch with guns strapped to her hands and heels, who awakens after centuries of sleep with a score to settle and a divine army standing in her way. Expect balletic combat, jaw-dropping setpieces, and boss fights the size of skyscrapers. Subtle? Absolutely not. Stylish? 100%.

Why this game still slays over a decade later:

1. Combat Perfection: Fast, fluid, combo-heavy action that rewards style as much as skill.
2. Witch Time: Perfect dodges slow down time and let you absolutely clown on enemies.
3. Insane Boss Fights: Battle godlike foes in spectacles that redefine “epic.”
4. Over-the-Top Style: From hair-based summons to heel-guns, Bayonetta redefines “extra.”

Released in North America on January 5, 2010 (and late 2009 in Japan/Europe), Bayonetta for Xbox 360 became the definitive version thanks to smoother performance than its PS3 counterpart.
