Good Article (GA) nomination.

I'm considering recommending this article to Wikipedia's Good Article system. Would anyone be willing to help if there are things that need to be done to prove it? Sjetha (talk) 23:09, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think the main obstacles to me for Good Article status is a lack of depth. Right now there's very little information on the gameplay, and the reception is mostly just a string of one-line sentences rather than a cohesive section.

Keep in mind, this is a "walking simulator" with numerous vignettes that all have slightly different control schemes. Any deeper gameplay would likely be inappropriate since you'd be resolving this at the vignette-level. --Masem (t) 15:11, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but the reviews go into the gameplay at that level, and at the very least the article should illustrate the breadth of that gameplay; as it is, currently the only details are in an over-long and unreferenced image caption. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 17:04, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, that is true. Probably would want to focus on those that are highlighted in the sources, which I would need to review what got pulled out as memorable scenes or those with the most unique facets that are beyond just walking around. --Masem (t) 19:16, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
