Feedback on my Steam page? Outer Wilds Hi all! I'm working on Outer Wilds and would love honest feedback on the Steam page before I push more traffic to it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/753640/ I ran it through a page checker and it scored 71/100 (Strong). The weakest parts were links & community (5), capsule visibility (55), screenshots (63), so I'd especially like your take on: 1. Is there anything you'd want to check (Discord, devlog, socials) before wishlisting? 2. 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? 3. Which of the first 4 screenshots makes you want to click? Which one would you cut? Full breakdown if you're curious: https://www.steampagechecker.com/report/outer-wilds 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.
