Will get to this review shortly. Skimming the article, I noticed that sources 2, 7, 53, 84 and 85 don't cite the website they're from. Some sources are also missing wikilinks. Just a few minor inconsistencies I would take care of. Cognissonance (talk) 13:57, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Gameplay

"the game makes use of audio and visuals cues" — Fix grammar: "the game makes use of audio and visual cues".

Development

"The game's lead developer was 4A Games, based in Ukraine. The game was developed by more than 80 people" — There are some undesirable repetitions here. Perhaps make it its own sentence: "The Ukraine-based lead developer 4A Games made the game with a team of more than 80 people".
"the team decided to keep the feature in Last Light but to improve" — The second "to" is not necessary.

Release

"being victims over the game's release.of any uncertainty" reads like a mess. Replace with "being misled by the game's uncertain release".
"Both Ubisoft, Clearlake, and Koch Media, who were originally set to distribute the title" — Ubisoft is not mentioned in the VG247 citation, which would explain the inaccurate use of "Both"; Clearlake is mentioned in the following Gamasutra source. "who were" should be replaced with "the latter of which was", referring to Koch Media.

Downloadable content

Sources 56 and 57 are duplicates of each other. Remove 56, since it is missing parameters.
Source 58 is missing the first= last= date= accessdate= parameters.
Can Coin-Op TV (source 59) and RealGamerNewz (source 60) be replaced?
GameTrailers (source 61) merely goes to its YouTube homepage. This needs to be repaired.
"within 60 days of the release of the" can be simplified with "within 60 days of releasing".
Xbox360Achievements.org (source 62) doesn't strike me as reliable.
I'm not too sure about Steamprices.com (source 66). Can it be replaced?

Redux version

The announcement is not mentioned in the cited source. Remove or find a source to confirm it.
CBS Interactive should be removed as publisher from source 68.
"Last Light Redux was released as DRM-free games" — Fix grammar: "Last Light Redux was released as a DRM-free game".

Reception

Critical reception

"multiple flashback scene" — Fix grammar: "multiple flashback scenes".
