Feedback on my Steam page? Lay of the Land Hi all! I'm working on Lay of the Land and would love honest feedback on the Steam page before I push more traffic to it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2776090/ I ran it through a page checker and it scored 77/100 (Strong). The weakest parts were links & community (20), trailers (60), tags (72), so I'd especially like your take on: 1. Is there anything you'd want to check (Discord, devlog, socials) before wishlisting? 2. In the first 5 seconds of the trailer, do you see gameplay? 3. Do the top tags match the game you see in the screenshots? Full breakdown if you're curious: https://www.steampagechecker.com/report/lay-of-the-land Thanks, and happy to return the favour on your page!
Check each community's rules first; many have a weekly feedback thread or require a gameplay video.
