Review

Been very busy IRL, so I've just got a couple of comment, which was reflected in a comment on the talk page.

The Gameplay section is partially unsourced, and doesn't use third-party sources. And also doesn't mention the game's "genre".

Done: Techinically, it was all sourced to one official web-manual, but I've added third-party sources. Unfortunately, two IGN reviews that I added do not have archived links. Lazman321 (talk) 19:43, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I know Wayback is having troubles, but maybe check through some of the unarchived sources to see whether any of them have pre-existing archived versions.

Done, though I wasn't able to archive one of the PocketGamer.biz articles Lazman321 (talk) 18:49, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lazman321 I think I'll put the article on hold. --ProtoDrake (talk) 07:06, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ProtoDrake: All addressed. Lazman321 (talk) 19:43, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some more comments.

Is there a source for the composer?

Yes; the game's credits, which can be found in the readme. However, considering he is referred to by a pseudonym, is not even mentioned in the article, and I can't find any secondary sources, I'm willing to remove him from the infobox. Lazman321 (talk) 05:41, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Astraware is a redlink.

Is there a problem with it? Lazman321 (talk) 05:41, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If there are reviews, can even a small reception section be created? I know the game's not got much to talk about in terms of gameplay, but is there anything?

Done, reception section created Lazman321 (talk) 16:56, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lazman321: The red link isn't absolutely necessary, but in the GANs I've experienced, it seems to be not preferred unless there's a definite plan to create an article on it. But it's a small point, so I think the article now counts as a Pass. --ProtoDrake (talk) 08:41, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ProtoDrake: Thank you, but if you don't mind me asking, could you do some spot-checks on the article's sources. As per WP:GAN/I#R3, they are required. Lazman321 (talk) 17:32, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lazman321: I didn't see anything wrong there initially so didn't comment, especially considering the kind of article this is. Consistent formatting, and nothing leaping to the eye in other regards. I think Kotaku is passable in this instance if it's the only source since it's a real writer/writer I've seen for other outlets. --ProtoDrake (talk) 19:49, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
