There have certainly been worse reimaginings of iconic female game protagonists (looking at you, Samus Aran in Metroid: Other M). We imagine some Bayonetta fans will be turned off seeing the usually unrestrained and cool witch feeling unsure about her abilities, sometimes in tears or being a scaredy cat, though it’s more believable given her depiction as a child still coming into her own. Taking inspiration from Irish folklore, it commits to a fairytale vibe, from its illustrative art style to its narrator giving you the sense that you really are journeying through the pages of a children’s picture book. The game’s strongest element lies in its approach to storytelling, a surprise for a series that usually has convoluted and nonsensical plots. ![]() That’s before working out whether it’s a path that can be reached only by Cereza or Cheshire.
