Okay, I'll be reviewing the article. It looks in good shape but there are some things that seem like issues:

The lead has several references. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section#Citations. If what is written in the lead will be repeated in the body, then I would recommend removing the references unless you are adding controversial information which many users might change.

The development section uses two citations for most sentences. Are all needed?
- Done (mostly). I've kept some where I feel that two references is still helpful. Omni Flames (talk) 03:42, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Reception: I recommend rewritting the first sentence to "The game received mostly positive reviews from critics, having a score of 82 out of 100 in Metacritic"
- Done Omni Flames (talk) 03:42, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Could you also give credit to the critics in the Reception like saying "IGN's reviewer praised." This might help expand the paragraphs which seem a little small.

Time is a magazine so I think it should be given italics.

The review box could be expanded to notice the other websites reviewing the article like Touch arcade with " | agg1 = | agg1Score = " (See Template:Video game reviews#Single-Platform/Column layout.
