Game screenshots that convert

Why this category needs its own screenshot story

Games sell on frame-one excitement and clarity of the core loop. Screenshots should look like the product, not a movie poster with tiny type. Avoid unverifiable stats. Use full-bleed screenshot-dominant templates when art is the hook, then add one caption that names the mechanic.

Conversion tips for this category

1. 1.Let gameplay art or UI carry screen 1; hide paragraphs that disappear at thumbnail scale.
2. 2.Name the loop—run, build, battle, solve—not a feature laundry list.
3. 3.Check contrast on busy backgrounds; captions must survive compliance and readability rules.
4. 4.If you add text, keep it under search-row truncation budgets so the hook survives cropping.
5. 5.Avoid “best game” claims unless a source in your vault backs them.
6. 6.When localizing, expect different line-length behavior—CJK needs different breaks than English; leave flex.
