I skipped the demo & went straight for the full game.
Took a little while to get going and I was quite uncertain about how much of an experience it was going to turn into, as it begins very simplistically, very linear and stop-start, but once you start getting a bit further into it, it's just beautiful.
While I don't chase frame rates and resolution, art style, animation and visual effects are a big thing for me, and the games I tend to end up loving are the ones that inspire me artistically - make me want to screenshot everything and have a go drawing my own versions - and this game seems to have that effect on me. Platinum Games have created this 'Alice in Wonderland' type micro-world that I just want to see more of and do more in. I'd really love them to build on this game and produce something similar but with a 3D camera, photo mode and a bit more open for freely exploring.
And while I'm not salty about the pricing of this game, damn does the ruddy thing deserve a manual or artbook accompanying it. You get artwork viewing screens in the game, but it'd be lovely to have them on paper too. Might have to work up a little collage from it once I've collected all the pages.
You guys had me at blood and semen.

This is not a budget spin-off. It might not be the longest game, or live up to the expectations of the narrow minded, but a lot of artistic flair and creativity has gone into this, and it's worthy of success, from what I can tell so far.

@Rambler there's some characters a few hours into the game that are kind of messed up if you really think about their designs but nothing outright graphic.
It's got a couple of the old school fairytale themes like kids getting lost (and dying) due to the faeries messing with them and the like. I think it may only be 12+ because of what's soooorta of implied here and there.
@rallydefault I think you'd struggle to find anything a lot like it. I'd say it's got an element of the twin-stick approach from Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons; an art style not too dissimilar from a cross-between Okami and Child of Light, say; a combat system that reminds me a little of Astral Chain; set in the Lost Woods from Zelda; and with a witchiness to it from, say... Bayonetta 😉

I finished it last night, one of the most undeservingly unsung heroes of the switch library, I was really surprised by how polished and charming this spin off ended up being, critics really were too harsh with the mainline comparisons, I really hope the series will continue in the future, we're definitely going to see Bayonetta Origins popping up on everyone's hidden gems lists in the future
