I decided to review this article. Wont take too long.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 23:48, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

@ProtoDrake: Sorry for the delay. I'll be giving input by the end of the night if not tomorrow. I'm sure you've been waiting for this review to happen.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 23:04, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

It looks like it is verifiable, stable, neutral, has coverage on all the vital aspects.

I have concerns about the reception section lacking cohesion. It's clear that the reception has paragraphs for gameplay, story/characters, and graphics/animation, but there are no lead sentence to introduce the topic. A simple sentence for each paragraph could begin like this: "In regards/responce/reference to the gameplay, critics [insert common opinion]" or "Regarding the Story and characters [insert common opinion]". Also, group the common opinion at the top of the paragraph and have the uncommon ones at the bottom of the paragraph. The gameplay reception has mostly positive, and a random negative opinion in the middle of it, and goes back to positive.

I'm not a fan arbitrarily combining two opinions of critics in a single sentence. Each reviewer should have their own sentence unless the sentence is saying they both have the same opinion, or if there is any comparing and contrasting between critics (which might as well be two sentences for comparing and contrasting too.)Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 04:55, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

On hold for now.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 04:56, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

@Blue Pumpkin Pie: I've done my best to address your points above, with the only remaining combination being where what the critics said on one aspect was almost identical and offered little room for commentary over their differences. I've also slightly rearranged the paragraphs so there's a progression of positive to negative. --ProtoDrake (talk) 06:37, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

@ProtoDrake: Looks like everything was solved. i'll pass it now.Blue Pumpkin Pie (talk) 17:58, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
