Fails WP:NVG, as it lacks reliable reviews. GeoffreyT2000 (talk, contribs) 18:03, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
I found a review from BrashGames http://www.brashgames.co.uk/2016/12/10/even-the-ocean-review/ . Though it is not a explicit review, the Waypoint interview with the developers looks like a positive endorsement: https://waypoint.vice.com/en_us/article/even-the-ocean-is-a-thoughtful-politically-aware-platformer . I have seen scattered reviews written from smaller blogs. The Steam page also has forty-something reviews. These don't count on Metacritic scores, but I would classify them as reliable.

Found some other reviews. A site: https://femhype.com/2016/12/21/even-the-ocean-offers-a-message-of-hope/ , http://thumbthrone.com/games/use-light-and-darkness-to-overcome-obstacles-in-the-story-driven-even-the-ocean/ . A review blog: https://grindingdown.wordpress.com/2016/11/22/in-even-the-ocean-an-unassuming-power-plant-technician-rises-up/ Oceanblue44444 (talk) 04:55, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
- Outside of Waypoint, those reviews are not reliable. Please see the video game reliable sources page and related custom Google search. czar 06:53, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
- BrashGames has an editor-in-chief, while small, it looks reliable: http://www.brashgames.co.uk/about/ . Killscreen has two positive and smaller reviews about the game: https://killscreen.com/playlist/even-the-ocean/ , https://killscreen.com/articles/even-ocean-wants-find-balance-life-next-week/ . I would also like to argue that there are indie games we should keep on Wikipedia, but a fixed amount of space on the reliable news sites, which often goes to AAA games - therefore by solely using these reliable sites as criteria, Wikipedia will not be comprehensively keeping track of indie games.
