Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon

A prequel to those insane action-focused mainline Bayonetta games. You play as a little girl named Cereza who slowly learns how to control her powers, as well as the demon named Cheshire. For better or worse, they are bound to each other.

Cereza uses this demon to save her mother from captivity. The game takes a lot of inspiration from Okamiden, which is only fitting given that this game was developed by former Okami makers who formed Platinum Games.

Metroid Fusion

Ever wondered what all the fuss was about the older Metroid titles? Well, if you have a Nintendo Switch Online+ Expansion Pass subscription, try it for yourself. This is one of the best games in this series.

Find the source of parasite X to cure yourself of its infestation before it consumes you. This is a very basic premise for sure, but that’s all it needs. Explore a planet full of secrets and unlock the mystery behind this weird mutating organism.
