After reviewing the article's five sources listed here, it eventually became clear to me that the game in question does not meet WP:GNG, and most likely won't in the near future. A custom Google search via WP:VG/SE does not help either.
FanBolt, MakeUseOf, ScienceFiction.com, and Tech News Today appears to be blogs, and 3 of the citations from them have the title among the lines like "Top 10 Best Browser Games", so it's not a significant mention anyway. Some more sources I found in regular Google search are GameSpace.com, but it's not reliable as well as it appears to me that you can make an account there and start writing anything you want without editorial oversight.
This leaves us with Koalition, which I'm not sure if it's reliable or not (their about page appears to be convincing, except it has an email for advertising queries), but even if it were, one reliable source is not enough to make it notable. theinstantmatrix (talk) 02:20, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

- Comment MakeUseOf is an editor-oversighted site, but that still would leave even just one source - and that being a listicle ,not even a GNG-appropriate source - for this. --Masem (t) 03:21, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
