Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon (Switch)

Die im Kern sehr klassische Story über den Werdegang Cerezas/Bayonettas wird atmosphärisch perfekt präsentiert. Das Gameplay funktioniert über große Teile des Spiels auch sehr gut, leidet aber an manchen Stellen an vielen Wiederholungen. Da die Story aber zum Schluss hin, immer mehr an Fahrt gewinnt, gleicht das Pacing diesen Missstand größtenteils aus.

The laid-back exploration, the beautiful visuals, the unique control and combat scheme, and the fact that this is a fresh take on the franchise make it an altogether different experience, and one that furthers the series’ lore while ensuring it opens itself up to an all-new audience.

Bayonetta Origins is an achievement in artistry, innovation, and tenderness for the Bayonetta series--one that both celebrates and elevates its iconic heroine.

This is an exceptional and refreshing change of pace for the franchise, and you don’t even need to be a fan of the series or the action genre to enjoy it. Don’t underestimate what this pint-sized spellcaster and her demonic partner have to offer.

It’s a really breezy game to play if you’re enamored by the storybook look and feel, which does some of the heavy lifting.

Tis new prequel presents players with the perfect introduction to a well-loved character and series. This game absolutely does not respect player boundaries when it comes to genre—you will fall deep into its whimsical embrace whether you are usually a fan of action-packed games or more of a cozy gamer.
