Bayonetta Origins is a fantastic game with a beautiful art style, engaging puzzle gameplay, and an endearing story. In spite of the maze-like forest, the game does an excellent job of guiding you. Furthermore, the game has plenty of accessibility features for players who might struggle with the unique gameplay. Overall, Bayonetta Origins is an incredible game that is always a treat to play.

If you're a fan of the Bayonetta franchise, you're definitely going to enjoy it for being a breath of fresh air in terms of gameplay and exploring the origins of our favorite witch a bit more. On the other hand, if you have never read the series, I also recommend it, since spoilers regarding other games are kept as simple references.

Easily the best bayonetta game. The story is deep and you feel the characters and what they go through. The gameplay is solid but the map can be a little confusing. The art is gorgeous and the music is immaculate. Easily 10 if you like bayonetta for the lore I highly recommend this game. If you like bayonetta for the gameplay I'll say maybe pass but even still it's a hidden gem on the switch

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon it’s a great prequel and a fantastic spinoff. It takes some of the charm from the previous games to make something new, interesting, fresh and fun.

While the puzzles are not challenging for most, and the combat is never as demanding as the mainline series, they are a refreshing redesign that brings its own puzzle elements into the combat for a genre that could easily have gone without any action to be successful.

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is a fun and unexpectedly fleshed-out experience that seeks to only better illustrate the potential of what Bayonetta can be beyond action games. Its combination of engaging puzzles, simple but enjoyable combat and inviting exploration more than outdoes its slow start and simple combat. While it's a story that didn't need to be told, Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is a bewitching experience overall.

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is a nice prequel that mixes storybook with elements of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and suggestively parallels the Metroidvania genre, including a high focus on combat, by being much more linear than this. But there are many things providing the game to be a must-have. The main reason for that is the low aspiration for being at least half-way tough, especially in terms of fighting.

A peculiarly pitched spin-off that has almost nothing to interest Bayonetta fans and instead offers an Ōkami Lite experience that is so undemanding it almost seems to run on autopilot.

La joya diferente de la saga de Bayonetta, una forma diferente de presentar la historia de Cereza donde cuenta y ata la historia de los tres juegos anteriores con una pequeña aventura en la niñez de Cereza.

A slow game BUT still a decent and solid game.
-Great visuals -Slow gameplay at the begining but picks up later, overall simple gameplay but the second character is at first is challenging to control overall not too bad but not that amazing

The art style, graphics, the way things are presented, and aesthetics are top notch. On that alone, it gets 4 stars. But it is not as fun as the mainline Bayonettas.
