Hi Geralt, your covers look fantastic! A few things that I would point out:

Everyone is free to choose their own style when creating a cover. I like creating mine to look like they are retail discs. One way I do that is by including the legal small text you find around the edges of the disc. You can easily find this info on the Steam game page, or on the games' official website. That's just me, though

As I said eariler, your covers look great! Great placement and choice of images. Nothing looks compressed or distorted so they will print out just fine.

The only things that sood out was: it looked like your esrb ratings and PC-DVD logos, looked a little too small. I would enlarge them a bit and give them a little bit more space (so they don't look attached to each other).

Also, a lot of your covers use dark backgrounds. A lot of the logos are in black. I would either change them to white, or add a very fine stroke to the edges so they don't blend in with the background.

One final note, your Dragon Age cover has a gap at the top (where it meets the Steam logo). You might was to check that out.

I hope this helps.
