About half the games that made it here had over 1k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 548 to 114k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on VR (4 of 7) and Co-op (3 of 7).
The winners: Winners here lead with Horror + Psychological Horror, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Horror + Psychological Horror + Survival Horror; a typical game here doesn't.

Copies come from each game's reviews times a sales-per-review rate that falls with release age, from about 31 for the most recent game here to about 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
