The more family-friendly looks belie Bayonetta Origins’ gameplay-you’ll frequently control both Bayonetta and her newly demon-possessed stuffed cat Cheshire, one on the Nintendo Switch’s left analog stick, and the other on the right. Though the aesthetic is smaller and different from what the series is known for, its visuals evoke the same novel explorations of pagan and Judeo-Christian imagery, albeit with a lot less titillation. But Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon represents a departure for series creator PlatinumGames, because it’s a storybook-style action RPG. The Bayonetta series is known for its excellent witch-powered combat gymnastics set against epic, magical backdrops with, well, a lot of risque visuals-the title character channels her magical abilities through her hair, which powers her attacks and abilities, often at the expense of some modesty.
