Feedback on my Steam page? Metropolis 1998

Hi all! I'm working on Metropolis 1998 and would love honest feedback on the Steam page before I push more traffic to it.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2287430/

I ran it through a page checker and it scored 75/100 (Strong). The weakest parts were localization (25), trailers (60), capsule visibility (69), so I'd especially like your take on:

1. If English isn't your first language: would a translated store page change anything for you?
2. In the first 5 seconds of the trailer, do you see gameplay?
3. Can you read the title on the capsule at the small size (search results / wishlist)? What genre do you think it is from the capsule alone?

Full breakdown if you're curious: https://www.steampagechecker.com/report/metropolis-1998

Thanks, and happy to return the favour on your page!
