Bayonetta Origins, a pleasant surprise

[Bragr]

When first saw the trailer for this, I decided I was gonna skip it, it didn't look like my sort of game at all.

But after getting it on a whim, I am impressed with it, it's quite unique. You control Cereza and her pet monster dog thing at the same time, similar to how it works in Astral Chain. It's one of those games that look kind of simple in trailers and screenshots, but flourish when you play it. The level design is great, and I get GameCube vibes from it.

It's nothing like the other Bayonetta games, but it doesn't have to be. I think the presentation and gameplay look offputting to a lot of people on the outside and doomed the game commercially, but I have grown to like this a lot. It deserved so much more.

Has anyone else here played it?

It was suprisingly fun it's a shame it sold so poorly due to how mediocre Bayonetta 3 was.

I played the demo for this game, but I have not played the full game.

This game flew completely under my radar. Huh. I'm totally going to take a look at it now, thank you for bringing it to my attention!

i got it but i need to finish it. i think i was halfway through.
Cheshire is a cat, not a dog. it is very wired but oddly fun to control the two of them at the same time. i think this is probably one of like 3 games that i played where you do this. i think i played a game on ps plus and something else that i'm just drawing a blank on that did this as well.
