I have some mixed feelings about Bayonetta Origins. The game is gorgeous and tells perhaps the most coherent story in the Bayonetta series. The gameplay itself did not hook me as much as the main series. Exploration is hindered by a slightly too slow walking speed and combat is pretty same-y, probably in part to the split character control scheme. That said, the game still was enjoyable throughout and I'm pleased to see PlatinumGames experimenting somewhat with their Umbra Witch.
