A Druid's Duel

This article does not show sufficient sourcing to meet the WP:GNG (with some WP:REFBOMBing). The only reliable source in the article is the VentureBeat article, and that doesn't even really talk about this game, meaning it does not treat the topic in significance. Finally, the WP:VGSE shows no sources of interest whatsoever. Izno (talk) 19:33, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep has multiple independent reliable sources reviews as shown at metacritic here whose quoted reviews are considered reliable by the Video Games Project, the four critic's reviews also give a high aggregated score of 70 so it has been quite well received with a top score of 80, passes WP:GNG, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 20:11, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
 * See reply below. --Izno (talk) 22:52, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Metacritic itself is just an aggregator here. The reviews on Metacritic are quartertothree's review, digitallydownloaded.net's review, and spaziogames (archived) review. There is also a snippet of a CD-Action review, I can't find the review itself. &mdash; Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 21:09, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Qt3 does not look reliable--missing obvious editorial policy, etc. DD's last discussion at WT:VG/S was inconclusive. Spazio looks like it might be reasonably reliable (here is an archive link to the article in question). RPS has a small article but it's by a "contributor". Regardless, that's not really enough to indicate significance under the GNG. --Izno (talk) 22:52, 28 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete as a non-notable video game failing WP:GNG with no reliable independent in-depth sources, such as WP:VG/RS. There are a couple press releases and general directory entries, but nothing in-depth. The article is indeed WP:REFBOMBed, but the sources are not reliable. Metacritic sources are not by default reliable, their inclusion standards are much lower than ours. — HELL KNOWZ   ▎TALK 10:44, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Mostly blog write-ups and references to unreliable sources. Drewmutt ( ^ᴥ^ ) talk  18:50, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete The clear lack of any RS reporting or reviews shows this unfortunatley to be non-notable. --M asem (t) 20:49, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete seems to fail WP:GNG. Videogameplayer99 (talk) 22:45, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
