I beat the prologue and chapter 1 of Bayonetta 3. Chapters seem longer this time around, but maybe that's just me. I managed to find all of the missions on my first attempt at chapter 1, which is a plus! (and saves me from having to backtrack later)
I still have some concerns about the story (between several characters commenting that Viola looks familiar, some smaller details, and some reviews that I've read, I'm concerned that they're going to shoe-horn a Bayonetta and Luka romance into the game even though Bayonetta finds him amusing but isn't interested in the first game and they barely interact in the second. Still, the gameplay is a ton of fun so far, even if the tone seems darker than what I'd like from a Bayonetta game. (either the Chrysler Building or the Empire State Building is destroyed as a background detail, and Enzo's entire family is killed off-screen)
