I'll take this one. Expect comments in a few days. JOEBRO64 19:41, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
- I noticed this came up on the nominations board and was surprised since the game was just released last week. I don't see anything that suggest newly released media can't be a GA but wonder if it can truly achieve criteria 3a so quickly. Just posing this as a comment for consideration.

- @Barkeep49: Since it was announced and released the same month, essentially as a prelude to another game, the main aspects don't require much. It has scarce gameplay and too little plot to make anything other than a synopsis. Also it's free, so there won't be a Sales section. Cognissonance (talk) 21:59, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
- I don't think being a new game should really prevent this from becomeing a GA—Sonic Forces became a GA less than a month after its release. Also @Cognissonance, I'm probably not going to get to this review until the end of the week, since it's the Fourth of July tomorrow. I'll get to it ASAP. JOEBRO64 23:08, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

I usually separate my reviews into separate parts for each section, but since this one's short I'll just clump them up into one part.
- You must've read my mind, because I was going to point out SEAOFBLUE here.
- ...graphic adventure video game...—this is more of a pet peeve of mine, but I think you can omit "video" in this context because all graphic adventure games are video games.
- According to developer Dontnod Entertainment, the game fulfilled a wish to expand the Life Is Strange universe—a wish from whom?
- I'd link to game mechanics when you mention "mechanics" in the dev section.
- My only comment about the reception section is that a few of the quotes could probably be paraphrased.
And that's it. Other than a few blips this looks really nice. I've always liked small little articles like this. JOEBRO64 13:16, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
- @TheJoebro64: Thanks for the review. How's it look? Cognissonance (talk) 14:02, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
