Appears to be a WP:GNG fail that was sloppily accepted through AfC by a reviewer. Of the reviews that exists for the game, only one from IGN Spain appears to be from a reliable source, while the others are from obscure blogs. Just because it exists on Metacritic doesn't indicate notability. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 15:31, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

• Keep I object to "sloppily accepting" the article. I cleaned it up a bit and made sure it was acceptable. There are plenty of sources and reviews. The game is on Xbox and Windows and a search of Google news brings up sources of release. Also, go past the first page of google and see the availability of sources to this game.

• There is a difference between reliable and unreliable sources, that can project the illusion of notability. WikiProject VG has plenty of unreliable sources listed at WP:VG/S since there is a tremendous proliferation of small blogs with little or no editorial oversight that are mostly for getting ad clicks. Distilling it down to the reliable sources leaves us with IGN only._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 20:02, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

• The custom Google search for video game articles shows plenty of results. [1] Dream Focus 20:44, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

• Concern Although I stand by my keep, the creator is fishy as they keep uploading images for the game. (COI?). AmericanAir88^(talk) 20:02, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
• Keep Reviews like this [2] prove it passes the general notability guidelines. Dream Focus 20:44, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

• Usually it takes at least 3 RS to prove notability, that is only one. If we have to grasp at straws to prove it's notable, then it falls more into the camp of "advertising" than making an article about an encyclopedic topic._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 20:55, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

• It requires two or more, always has, and always will. The article has reviews in it already including [3] for the reliable source IGN giving it significant coverage there. Dream Focus 23:03, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

I wanted to use the official poster for the game, the other image was just a placeholder.
