About this game

The story follows Bayonetta, a witch who awakens after a 500-year slumber at the bottom of a lake with no memory of her past.

As she explores the European city of Vigrid, she is constantly attacked by angelic forces drawn to her presence.
While fighting these supernatural enemies, Bayonetta gradually regains fragments of her lost history, uncovering her ties to the Umbra Witches, their ancient conflict with the Lumen Sages, and the fate of the world tied to the power of the Eyes of the World.
Combat emphasizes fluid combos and weapon variety.
Bayonetta fights with her signature four guns, two held in her hands and two attached to her heels, allowing for extended melee-ranged combinations.
Throughout the game she acquires additional weapons such as swords, whips, claws, and shotguns.
Each weapon has its own move set and can be equipped in different combinations on hands and feet.
Defeated enemies drop halos that function as currency, which can be used in the Gates of Hell shop to purchase new weapons, techniques, and upgrades.
Weapons dropped by enemies are often temporary but provide unique abilities for a limited time.
A central mechanic is Witch Time, activated by dodging an enemy attack with precise timing.
This slows down the environment while Bayonetta moves at full speed, enabling counterattacks and complex combos.
The magic gauge builds during battle and can be spent on Torture Attacks, elaborate finishing moves that summon medieval-style instruments of execution to deal massive damage.
Her magic also allows her to summon giant hair-based demons, manifestations of her outfit, to finish off bosses in large-scale cinematic battles.
Progression is tied to performance rankings.
Each stage is divided into combat encounters called Verses, graded on speed, damage taken, and combo points.
Higher ranks reward more halos and items, encouraging mastery and replay.
About PlayStation 4
The PlayStation 4 (2013) cemented Sony's dominance of the eighth console generation, with a library exceeding 30,000 titles once indie and digital-only releases are counted. Most PS4 games remain affordable for collectors, but limited physical print runs — particularly from smaller publishers and later in the console's life cycle — are starting to see steady price increases as digital storefronts eventually wind down support.
Gamevaro tracks Bayonetta for PlayStation 4 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Bayonetta to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS4 release dates back to 2009.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
