Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon Description
Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is an action adventure game and a spin-off of a popular hack and slash series. It was developed by PlatinumGames and published by Nintendo.
Plot
Bayonetta Origins is a prequel to the series' main installments. The titular heroine still bears the name Cereza and is just starting to learn magic. In order to deepen her knowledge and save her mother, she delves deep into the Avalon Forest, accompanied by a demon named Cheshire.
Mechanics
The gameplay in Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is shown from an isometric perspective. The player explores the world, fights enemies and solves environmental puzzles.
What's important is that both Cereza and Cheshire are controlled independently of each other - each with a single joy-con. Overcoming obstacles thus requires coordination between both playable characters. As the task can be challenging, there are also separate segments of downtime during which we play only as Cereza (mostly in safe areas devoid of enemies). The game features metroidvania elements, often requiring backtracking to unlock new areas with freshly acquired abilities.
Technical aspects
Visually, Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is reminiscent of comic books. The game makes heavy use of cel-shading.
