 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed by human reviewer. Zxcvbnm, please note that sourcing will indeed be needed for the entire Gameplay section (at least one source citation per paragraph); if this counts as a work of fiction, then sourcing should not be necessary for the Plot section, but if you got the Plot from anyone or anything other than your own experience with the game, then you need to source it.

 * It is a work of fiction and the plot was not referenced from anywhere besides playing the game itself. I have added references to the Gameplay section as per your request.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 18:10, 15 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is new enough and long enough. The hook fact is reliably sourced, the article is neutral and I found no copyright issues. The plot section is unsourced but I believe that is permissible. All other paragraphs include citations. Good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:56, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
