Bayonetta isn’t useless, as she has her dances. You’ll use this team to navigate through a series of puzzles and combat situations. That bear becomes a monstrous fighter, which dedicates itself to protecting the girl, and off they go on their adventure to try and find Bayonetta’s mother.

At this stage in her life, Bayonetta isn’t the confident warrior that she would later become, and early on, in a moment of panic when facing some hostile fairies, she summons the demon into her teddy bear. Players are, for the most part, tasked with controlling two characters individually – a very young Bayonetta (Cereza, to use her proper name, but I can only think of her as Bayonetta) with one control stick, and her stuffed toy-cum-demon, Cheshire, with the other. While each title in the Bayonetta trilogy is best described as a “Devil May Cry-like,” Origins has more in common with Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons from about a decade ago. And yet, it is an excellent and certain-to-be-underrated effort by PlatinumGames and a good example of how that studio, at its finest, remains the most purely creative ideas team working in action gaming. It also offers a form of gameplay that is very hard to get right, too. Being so utterly different from the existing Bayonetta trilogy it could have disappointed players. There are so many ways that Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon could have fallen flat.
