{{AFC comment|1=I'm going to err on the side of [[WP:TOOSOON]] here - most of the sources read like glorified press releases. It lacks any reviews that aren't puff pieces of some kind (user reviews don't count). A comparable game, Pokemon GO, has reviews from almost every major gaming journalism outlet. It needs more time to garner notability. [[User:Zxcvbnm|ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ]] ([[User talk:Zxcvbnm|ᴛ]]) 08:37, 16 September 2022 (UTC)}}
