Initial comments

  • "The Witness received widespread acclaim from critics, who praised the difficult, but surmountable puzzles and the game's art and setting" - the last sentence of the lead looks a bit disjointed. Can you merge it in another paragraph? Altinatevly, you could expand this sentence a little and mention what critics liked/disliked about various aspects of the game
  • "The final game has more than 650 puzzles, which Jonathan Blow estimates" - link Jonathan Blow here
  • "Throughout the island are stations with audio recordings that provide insightful quotes for the player, from persons such as" - why not just people? Feel free to ignore
  • "and feared that he would "fall back to square one", his state before the success of Braid, should it fail." - he stated?
  • "He considers his approach the "anti-Nintendo"" - not sure if I'm looking at this wrong way, but it would read fine without the "the" here
  • "While The Witness would be considered an indie game due to the lack of funding or support from a major publisher" - considered by who? The developers themselves?
  • I noticed that US Gamer isn't in the review table?
  • No dead links
  • No dab links

This is an excellent article. Once all of the minor issues are out of the way, then you can have a GA. It is well written, comprehensive and enjoyable to read. This is pretty close to FA standard!   JAGUAR  19:38, 5 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
