There is some persuasion to go play the game for one-self

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions

Sources and references evaluation
The article has a long line of references with links to reputable books, and other sources. The links do work.

The article is easy to read, goes in depth with some things. talks about gameplay before the plot setting. I feel they could have put gameplay and development closer together as the two are closely intertwined.

Images and media evaluation
There are clear images both in game and off game fan-cosplays.

They are well captioned and have information on the bottom of each image.

Maybe not fully as the game itself is copyrighted, but I am sure screenshots are fine.

The pictures are nice in an appealing way they are close to paragraphs that also have information pertaining to the content in the picture.

Overall evaluation
The article is in pretty good status

It's very strong in it's information about the game.

I feel it needs more expanded upon. Shadowbringers could become it's own page and flushed out even more on each content drop like 5.2 which dropped recently and all of it's contents getting a page. But this particular page how it is now is close to perfect til a new-new expansion.
