- Is it reasonably well written?
- I'd wikilink third-person perspective in the lead
- "whose level caps are fifteen" - this isn't helpful; fifteen in comparison to what? I'd drop this, or just specify level caps exist without assigning an arbitrary number to it.
- "a photojournalist with many contacts whom he meets in Taipei" - does he meet the photojournalist of the photojournalist's contacts in Taipei?
- 'the game was a "Jason Bourne adventure"' - accordingly to whom?
- "They also took inspiration from other games and films" - I'd separate the games and films, as in 'they took inspiration from games X, Y and Z, as well as films A, B and C', but up to you
- "and can "never really sure" who their" - grammar in direct quote?
- "sending quality assurance and cohesion strike teams avoid problems" - grammar
- "to avoid competition with other blockbuster titles" - specifying what these were would be of interest, if the information is available of course
- 'received the "Exclusive Assault Pack" and the "Stealth Weapons Pack"' - this could use some more explanation for non-gamer readers. Perhaps mention the packs give the players access to additional weapons, assuming that is the case
- "found to be dumb" - this seems a bit un-encyclopeadic, I suggest rewording it
- "calling boring when it tries to be serious" - grammar?
- "Tan called it a strange hybrid with disappointing and average gameplay, and provocative RPG systems, and called it a divisive title" - this is a very awkward sentence (two used of 'called' reads poorly)
- "Retrospectively, the game's reputation improved" - define retrospectively; mention what years these subsequent reviews came out
- "and other games should learn from it" - syntax? How about 'and said that other games should learn from it"?

- Overall:
- Pass or Fail: Some of the prose is a bit clunky. I made some copyedits myself, but I think it could benefit from some more. I'm happy to pass it once the issues above are addressed though. Looks very good overall. Placing on hold. Freikorp (talk) 13:24, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
