Bayonetta Origins is a significant departure from the main series. You play as two characters, Ceres and Cheshire, while navigating a colorful world from an isometric perspective. There’s still action, but Bayonetta Origins focuses more on puzzles and storytelling.

Despite the significant changes in style and tone, Bayonetta Origins more than lives up to its name. It got a 9/10 in ours Bayonetta Origins Review.

“Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and The Lost Demon is a testament to thinking outside the box,” wrote critic Jessica Howard. “While I don’t suspect that Platinum Games will return to this new style of gameplay and storytelling in future Bayonetta games in the same way that Breath of the Wild or God of War (2018) changed the direction of their respective franchises, I can’t help but be grateful that the studio trusted their team’s vision enough to create this experience. Despite how fantastic every aspect of the game is, I can understand why the developer did this.”

As a prequel, you can enjoy Bayonetta Origins even if you haven’t played the other three games in the franchise. However, we strongly recommend playing all three. Bayonetta 3, which was released last fall, is marked down to $45 Amazon and Best buy now. In the meantime, you can grab the first Bayonetta game on PC (Steam) for $16.59 at Fanatical.
