Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon released earlier this year, but you can already save big on the excellent spin-off at Amazon. Bayonetta Origins is on sale for only $43. And if you don't mind a preowned copy, you can get Bayonetta Origins for $40 at GameFly. It will come with the original case, too.
Bayonetta Origins is quite the departure from the mainline series. You play as two characters, Cereza and Cheshire, simultaneously as you navigate a colorful world from an isometric perspective. There's still action combat, but Bayonetta Origins is more puzzle- and narrative-focused.
Despite big changes in style and tone, Bayonetta Origins is more than worthy of its name. It earned a 9/10 in our Bayonetta Origins review.
«Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and The Lost Demon is a testament to thinking outside the box,» critic Jessica Howard wrote. «While I don't suspect Platinum Games will pivot to this new style of gameplay and storytelling in future Bayonetta games in the same way Breath of the Wild or God of War (2018) shifted the direction of their respective franchises, I cannot help but be thankful that the studio trusted the vision of its team enough to create this experience. Though with how fantastic every aspect of the game is, I understand why the developer did.»
As a prequel, you can enjoy Bayonetta Origins even if you haven't played the other three games in the franchise. That said, we'd highly recommend playing all three of them. Bayonetta 3, which released last fall, is discounted to $45 at Amazon.
