I absolutely love the bayonetta series , the over the top hack and slash action , great visuals and a catchy soundtrack too. What bayonetta 3 lacks , it also makes up for . Offering great visuals great game mechanics and maybe a few weak points here and there but all in all , I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is a masterpiece of a game that manages to be even better than Bayonetta 3, the excellent game it spins off from. Unlike all the other Bayonetta games, Bayonetta Origins isn’t about the extravagant title character. Instead, it shines a light on Cereza, a younger version of Bayonetta, and explores the ups and downs of her childhood. Cereza is a shy and clumsy girl who wishes to free her mother from prison. To that end, she’s mentored and taught the dark arts by Morgana, an exiled witch who lives near a dark forest. As I started my journey with Cereza, she was just about to enter the forest to track down a mysterious boy who promises her the power to finally set her mother free.

Bayonetta is a series that has never been known for its immersive storytelling and child friendly nature, but that is about to change with the release of Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon. Teased as a secret chapter in Bayonetta 3, it is a full blown adventure game with a children’s book style approach. It is now available for the Nintendo Switch as an exclusive, following Bayonetta 2 and 3.
