  They are good enough to feel like modern games. The art styles have held up, and revisiting them has been nothing but pure joy. The package is worth the $40,and being able to buy them separately just means it is easier to jump into two of Platinum’s finest works. Do not hesitate, grab these games now.

  The duo of Platinum-developed titles in the Bayonetta and Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle are at the zenith of their respective genres because of their undying commitment to responsive controls and deep, rewarding gameplay mechanics. Playing these titles does not get stale and while it is frustrating that Sega refused to celebrate these classic games with more extras and additional content, they do stand on their own merits even a decade later.

  It’s a shorter adventure that doesn’t have the same level of charm as its partner but if you’re in the mood for a sci-fi adventure with big guns and lots of robots to shoot, you really can’t go wrong. As with all console ports, the Platinum Games bundle represents a fine opportunity to experience company defining titles you might have missed the first time with the added convenience of not having to dust off last gen’s console.

  As for the re-release timing generally, it feels like an important piece of redemption for Playstation hardware. The PS3 version has a bad rap with bad sales to go with it, so it is fitting that a definitive version gets both a new and old audience. The colour palette may seem a little bland in places today, but the level design remains superb, the combat sublime, and, now more than ever, an essential bargain.

  The Bayonetta & Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle is marvelous, and despite my small grievances with Vanquish, is still definitely worth the price of admission. Bayonetta remains the standout of the two as it brings one of the best action games of the last generation to a new home, with all the performance refinements and smoothing that comes with a superb cross-gen transition.

  All things considered, Bayonetta & Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle is a must-have, especially for those who haven’t yet played either of these stunning games. It goes a long way in bringing two of the last generation’s best games visually up to date, and their gameplay hasn’t aged a bit. In fact, thanks to 60fps and up to 4K visuals, it’s better than ever before.
