TheGamer's Stacey Henley says: Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is not a Bayonetta game, and asking fans to play it for lore after 3's ending is a bold choice. It also, so far, has nowhere near as strong a grasp on its genre as the main series does, and is flailing in a river of played out ideas. Still, it looks beautiful in a way games rarely can, the Tír na nÓg show the game has a level of thought hidden away, and I find myself caring about Cheshire even if he's a composite of Stitch and all the characters like him in pop culture. If Cereza and the Lost Demon continues to grow into its final two thirds, maybe my full review will be praising its recovery from a rocky start. Right now though, Cereza doesn't seem fit to wear the name Bayonetta."
Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon has been announced to be getting an official soundtrack.
Nintendo and PlatinumGames explain how Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon came to be as part of a new interview.
While the two Bayonetta titles were developed in tandem, neither PlatinumGames or Nintendo knew which would release first. Platinum’s Hideki Kamiya said this was the situation even in the middle of development on these titles, and Nintendo’s Makoto Okazaki mentioned that Nintendo was trying to figure out which title should arrive first.
I have 0 interest in this and I’m like a mega Bayonetta fan.
