AI shopper test

An AI is looking at Space Engineers's capsule, first screenshots and short description the way a Steam shopper would… (up to 30 seconds the first time)

Ask players for feedback on this page new

A ready-to-paste post for r/DestroyMyGame, r/IndieDev or your Discord, with questions aimed at your weakest sections, so people give feedback you can act on.

Feedback on my Steam page? Space Engineers

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

https://store.steampowered.com/app/244850/

I ran it through a page checker and it scored 88/100 (Standout). The weakest parts were short description (80), tags (84), capsule visibility (85), so I'd especially like your take on:

1. After reading only the short description, can you tell what you'd actually do in the game?
2. Do the top tags match the game you see in the screenshots?
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/space-engineers

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