The last Bayonetta game kicked up a proper hornet's nest, and that left the following spinoff flat-abandoned and browbeaten by a good pile of uncharitable gamer talking points. But Cereza and the Lost Demon is quaint, cute, and home to one of the best stories in the series for daring to actually incorporate its quirked-up play into the plot. The story and the play aren't separate elements that exist in spite of each other, as so often happens in games, but working in tandem. So lemme ask. Ya like Joy-Cons?
