Priority fixes

  1. [composition] Establish one dominant hero character or scene as the primary focal point, using the other panels as supporting elements at reduced scale or opacity to eliminate the competing three-way split.
  2. [title_readability] Reposition the Marathon logotype to a horizontal placement in the lower-left or lower-center safe zone so it survives Steam cropping and registers within the first eye movement.
  3. [contrast_color] Increase the value separation in the top-left red panel by brightening the foreground soldier silhouettes or darkening the background so figures read clearly in grayscale at small size.
  4. [genre_clarity] Introduce a clear FPS or extraction gameplay cue — such as a visible weapon being raised or a loot element — into the dominant panel so the genre survives compression to tiny size.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [feature_communication] Move the Deluxe Edition cosmetics to a separate section below the main gameplay description, or preface them with 'Digital Deluxe Edition includes these cosmetics plus:' so gameplay content leads the page.
  2. [uniqueness] Add 1–2 sentences after the short description or in a dedicated section explaining what Marathon's progression, economy, or map design does differently compared to other extraction shooters (e.g., 'faction-driven progression replaces loot-tiers' or 'dynamic environmental events escalate threat mid-run').
  3. [feature_communication] Clarify the narrative discovery mechanic under 'DEFRAGMENT THE TRUTH'—state whether lore is tied to exploration objectives, environmental storytelling, or seasonal unlocks so story-driven players understand their role.
  4. [genre_clarity] Add a brief explanation of the seasonal Rewards Pass system and how cosmetics/progression are earned, since the copy mentions 'Premium Rewards Pass Voucher' in the Deluxe section without explaining what the base Rewards Pass entails.
