I've listed this article for a peer review as I plan to take it forward to GA sometime in the future. This article had just undergone a massive rewrite and expansion over the past half-month, and there are likely issues with the prose or formatting I've missed. As to what I want this peer review to highlight and catch, the prose does need a once-over just to check, the images which I haven't touched yet need to be assessed, and the Reception section should be looked at as they're always my weak point.

Hi ProtoDrake, I just went over the article. It looks pretty good. I agree, the reception section feels a bit thin right now, especially since it has been so praised and influential. I haven't checked it myself, but surely there must be some retrospective articles about the lasting impact of Dead Space? There was one sentence I couldn't figure how to rewrite: the suggestion by EA that a famous actor should portray Clarke, that "went nowhere" is a bit too informal. Kind regards, soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 08:56, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I have a comment about one of the sources used. I do not believe that "SliceOfScifi" is not a reliable source to use. GamerPro64 02:06, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Ehi, good job so far. Just wanted to say I found a October 2009 news which says the game sold 36,000 copies (in North America) on PC and a November 2009 news which says the game got to sell a total of 1.4 million copies - both are by Softpedia, unfortunately classified as nothing better than a "situational source" but maybe useful in this case. Also, I would suggest to use a whole new, updated, gameplay image. Keep up the good work. Lone Internaut (talk) 01:59, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Not directly related to English version of the game, yet would it be interesting to add (in "Development"/"Audio" section) that "Master of Horror" Dario Argento was chosen as voice actor for Doctor Kyne character?
