Feedback on my Steam page? Sid Meier's Civilization® V Hi all! I'm working on Sid Meier's Civilization® V and would love honest feedback on the Steam page before I push more traffic to it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/8930/ I ran it through a page checker and it scored 79/100 (Strong). The weakest parts were links & community (50), short description (55), long description (75), so I'd especially like your take on: 1. Is there anything you'd want to check (Discord, devlog, socials) before wishlisting? 2. After reading only the short description, can you tell what you'd actually do in the game? 3. Did you scroll the description, or bounce? Where did you stop? Full breakdown if you're curious: https://www.steampagechecker.com/report/sid-meiers-civilization-v 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.
