Review title of Crush42 Great Game, BUT...

Bayonetta is a great game, one of the greatest non-Itagaki action games ever. So why three stars? Simple. We were promised 4K/60 performance on X, and that's not at all what we've got. 1440p according to DF, with no noticeable anti-aliasing, leading to lots of shimmer on a 4K screen. Cutscenes are locked to 30FPS or below, with awful motion blur at times, and some graphical flickering on odd areas. Overall, it's the best way to experience a fantastic game short of an expensive gaming PC, but considering this is essentially just a 360 port, and the X can run Skyrim in 4K with better graphics and mods at a much more stable framerate than it's 360 counterpart, plus all the modern AAA games running in 4K, there's no excuse. From Scalebound to Nier: Automatas poor optimisation, to excluding us on The Wonderful 101, it's clear Platinum doesn't care for its Western fans. 5 stars for a great game, 1 star for the half-baked port and false advertising.
