WTMG’s Leo Faria: “Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is a weird beast. It’s a pretty decent game, with a neat level of presentation, and a nice change of pace from the tryhardish action seen in the main games. IHowever, it’s also a game I simply cannot recommend at the suggested retail price. It’s an uneventful attempt to adapt the gameplay loop from Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons with more action, which goes against the control scheme itself. While pretty, I couldn’t help but feel disappointed with the overall “cheapness” of everything it had to offer, from static cutscenes to a pointless framerate cap. Were this a small spinoff being sold for twenty, maybe thirty bucks, it would have been a no-brainer. But for the price tag of a full-fledged AAA game, or even what Nintendo charges you for the first two games in the franchise? Nah mate, I’m out.”
