With its storybook aesthetic and puzzle platforming gameplay, there is little about Bayonetta Origins that truly connects it to the series it serves as a (loose) prequel to. Even after playing the game — and loving it — it's astounding that PlatinumGames turned one of the most overtly erotic characters in games into a family-friendly affair. At times, I found myself asking: “Does this even need to be a Bayonetta game?”
