Feedback on my Steam page? The Lord of the Rings Online™ Hi all! I'm working on The Lord of the Rings Online™ and would love honest feedback on the Steam page before I push more traffic to it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/212500/ I ran it through a page checker and it scored 72/100 (Strong). The weakest parts were localization (45), capsule visibility (60), short description (65), 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. 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. After reading only the short description, can you tell what you'd actually do in the game? Full breakdown if you're curious: https://www.steampagechecker.com/report/the-lord-of-the-rings-online 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.
