10 Well-Reviewed Video Games We TURNED ON After Launch

10. Bayonetta 3

Bayonetta 3's Metascore of 86 placed it just a few points below its predecessors - which rock a 90 and 91 respectively - but seemingly confirmed it to be a worthy sequel.

And yet, few acclaimed recent video games have fallen off as hard as this. While Bayo 3 certainly isn't hated, in the months following its release the utter indifference about its existence crept in, with the game damn-near vanishing from the cultural conversation entirely.

Primary criticism was levelled against its lackluster story, being forced to play missions as Jeanne, and its technical performance, with many feeling that the game was held back from building on its predecessors by the Switch's ageing hardware.

While critics and fans alike generally agree that the third game is the worst of the trilogy, fans have taken a far harder line in that regard, indicating a much larger gulf of quality between it and what came before.

Though even polarising games tend to invite passionate debate among fans, the saddest thing about Bayonetta 3 is that it's largely fallen off the face of the Earth since releasing barely a year ago.
