The Anacrusis
( )- ... that sci-fi video game The Anacrusis is named for the musical term?
- Source: GameSpot
- ALT1: ... that video game The Anacrusis is named for the musical term, the players caught up in an alien invasion "in the beats before turns to soldiers, pilots, and space fighters"? Source: GameSpot
- ALT2: ... that The Anacrusis was the debut video game by Stray Bombay, a studio co-founded by Left 4 Dead writer Chet Faliszek? Source: IGN
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Terrace on the Park
- Comment: The first hook was chosen because the game has an interesting name which readers may not be familiar with. ALT1 is a longer version with more context, but maybe clunky/long. ALT2 goes a different route, Left 4 Dead is highly regarded and popular (and the subject is widely noted to be similar), so this could draw readers in.

Overall: 
Article created on 7 September, and is well beyond the required minimum length. Earwig reveals no copyvio, and I didn't spot any instances of overly WP:Close paraphrasing, though the use of verbatim quotes borders on excessive. ALT0 is interesting and properly cited, ALT1 is a less interesting version of ALT0, and I did not find ALT2 interesting. QPQ has been provided. A few comments about the content:
The game is set on board a retrofuturistic space station during an alien incursion.
– I don't find any mention of retrofuturism in the sources cited here?The Director 2.0 adjusts enemy placements to create moments of downtime in between moments of intensity, with aim to make every team feel like "they're at the cusp of skill".
– this needs copyediting for clarity; I had to read the source to understand what was meant by the second half, and it doesn't really connect to the first half of the sentence. I don't think "cusp of skill" is a readily-understood established phrase, so it would probably be better to rephrase this in your own words.When there are fewer than four-players, bots will act as a substitute.
– I don't find this in the cited sources?with the intention to create co-operative video games
– the source says "we're forming a new studio in Seattle that is itself co-operative", which would seem to refer to the studio itself rather than the games.Faliszek had previously worked on the Left 4 Dead series as a writer and co-lead.
– the source only uses "co-lead" in the subhead, which is not a reliable source per WP:HEADLINE.
