Lock On is a game mechanic that allows the player to automatically center the character's aim on a target, which can be done with a toggle/press of a button or passively active in certain situations. Games featuring this tend to make circle-strafing around your foes easy, but some cases exist where you are locked on the spot while using the mechanic like Mega Man Legends (Game). Some games like Bayonetta (Game) use a passive lock-on mechanic which automatically guides attacks towards potential targets but also have a dedicated active lock-on input. Many of these games allow the player to turn of the lock off at will or switch targets to change the perspective or change movement & attack options.
