Decent add-on. Builds on the original games story but plays differently mainly by adding *hnngh* stealth and a torch.
14. The Evil Within: The Consequence DLC (PS4).
Better than the first add-on. You'll get more of the first DLC and more mystery and guff relating to the original story. There's a super mega evil corporation. Again. Probably Umbrella, right? You get more stealth and, which betterer, chemical lights when you lose your torch for a bit. Chem-lights were actually a really good and well implemented idea as you chuck them around to illuminate the area.

Have you ever kicked someone in the face while applying lipstick and are so cool that your apply it perfectly? Bayonetta can. It's as if Platinum Games didn't forget about the golden era of Capcom's Devil May Cry and the original Ninja Gaiden unlike, say, Capcom and Team Ninja. They've put together another absurdly awesome game that filled with (a) nonsense story (b) ludicrous cut scenes (c) crazy Japanese characters and, most of all, (d) a technically sublime fighting game.
The fighting brilliantly has something for everyone. The easy difficulty lets you mash away at the buttons until your heart is contents and let's you see and do everything; normal difficulty lets you play the game but asks that you at least try to have a crack at the finer points of combat - the witch time trigger events have a large window where you can press the dodge button and get it to work; and the hard difficulty gives you smaller windows of opportunity for witch time and demands you step up (2 THA STREETS 8: the final dance off) to the plate and try some hardcore gaming at it's finest. The final difficultly just removes witch time which, frankly, I've always thought was a bit crap but it's there if you want an even tougher challenge.
Personally, I didn't think it was quite as good as the first Bayonetta game since I preferred the story and setting (mind you they do recycle some assets near the end and add some more to the original story), but this is still utterly awesome. Just soon the fighting is awesome. The ONE THING that it wants you to do is so great that you feel empowered and just want to do it some more. I had this terrible feeling after I'd finished it that they weren't going to let me fight as the credits rolled. BUT THEY DID. And it was great.
Plus, since it's ninty now you get the fab costumes and attack modifiers that I put in the Bayonetta 2 topic. Loads of work has clearly been lavishly poured into this. The weapons, the various stuff you can buy, there's tons of game in here available to anyone with a brain in their cranium. I'll definitely be going back for a blast at it.
Platinum Games are ace at making games.
