I'll take this. ♦ jaguar 13:34, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Lead

• "It takes place before, during, and after the events of Hotline Miami, focusing on the backstory and aftermath of the previous protagonist Jacket's massacres against the Russian mafia in Miami at the behest of anonymous tips left by his answering machine" - this is quite a long sentence which will surely flow better if split into two, or condensed somewhat
  • Done.
• "The events are told from the perspective of several different characters in numerous different locations" - I'd remove the repetition here
  • Done.
• "A localized version released in Japan on June 25, alongside the first game in Hotline Miami: Collected Edition" - does this mean this game was released as part of Hotline Miami: Collected Edition? Was it a compilation? If so I'd rewrite it as It was also released in Japan on June 25, as part of Hotline Miami: Collected Edition.
  • Done.
• "while the narrative and changes to gameplay and level design received a mixed response, and a scene depicting sexual assault triggered largely negative feedback from critics" - this can easily be split into two sentences to improve flow
  • Rewrote that bit.

Body

• "the objective in most chapters is to defeat every enemy inside" - redundant word
  • Done.
• "and the masks mechanic returns for certain characters as well" - the mask mechanic is note described
  • I don't see the note describing the mask mechanic, so I'm not sure what this means. I might still be half asleep.
• "were still focused on patching the original game. Similarly to the original game" - repetition of 'original game', replace the latter with its predecessor
  • Done.
• "The game was created with the fans of the original game in mind, not concerned with expanding into a larger audience" - this doesn't read well. Replace with The game was created with the fans of the original game in mind. The team was not concerned with attracting a larger audience and instead prioritised...
  • Done.
• "Upon the release of the Nintendo Switch Hotline Miami Collection in August 2019" - missing word here? port between 'Switch' and 'Hotline'?
  • Done.

Haven't done a GAN in a while! I've made a few alterations, but nothing major. Once all the above are addressed it should more or less meet the GA criteria. I've put it on hold for now. ♦ jaguar 13:53, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing this as I said in the FNAF 3 review. I believe I've addressed everything above except the mask mechanic note, in which I'm not too sure what that means. Everything else is addressed however. NegativeMP1 15:22, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

No worries, I'm content this meets the GA criteria so will be happy to promote. ♦ jaguar 18:23, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
