• The game's lead is not long enough. If possible, split it into several paragraphs

 Done expanded it.

• the game was released for iOS on 17 April and for Android on 4 June. - year of release?

 Done

• It is the first game to be released by Square Enix Montréal, a studio founded in 2011 - Too much "release" in the lead. Rephrase it to "It is the first game developed by Square Enix Montréal, a studio founded in 2011"

 Done

• The player's objective is to guide the series' protagonist, Agent 47, to the end node or to assassinate a specific target. - What is the purpose of guiding 47 to the end node?

This is just the objective for completing the level. In some levels you have to move him to the end node, in others you have to assassinate a target. I've reworded it so hopefully it is clearer now.

• Source 6 (Eurogamer review) seems to be a better source than source 4 when talking about enemies behaviors

 Done

• I personally do not think that Daniel Lutz pitching the project to Square Enix is notable enough to be mentioned.

I removed the mention of Lutz in the pitching part. I'm not sure if you want me to remove the entire phrase or not?

• Quotes can be paraphrased. When citing quotes, I usually use the giant quotebox. But that's up to you to decide whether to do so or not

 Done I've paraphrased Lutz's quotes in the Development and release section.

• The reception section also uses too much quotes.

 Done I've tried to reduce the use of quotes and paraphrase things better. If it still needs improving then do say.

• Lara Croft Go is not really part of this game's development of release. It sounds like something for a legacy section.

 Done I split this off into Legacy section and wrote more about it. I'll probably expand and refine the legacy section later after I start a Lara Croft Go article, but if there are any immediate issues that need addressing there for this to hit GA then list them.

• Any sales figure for this game.

Can't find any, even in SE's annual report they weren't present.

• Any plot?

It's pretty much non-existent, so I don't think a section is needed.

• Here is a secondary soruce that can be used to replace source 23.

 Done

• Some close paraphrasing. While these are far from identical, it would be nice if they can be changed, well, more. (This is optional, since it is not really that serious)

 Done I altered the wording of the 3 sentences you listed below so hopefully less of an issue now.

Article almost flawless. Well done. There is still something to work on though. My main concern is the lead and the quotes used. Ping me if you have already addressed all the issues. AdrianGamer (talk) 04:39, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
