Your set: Your set clusters on Action Roguelike (4 of 6) and Survival (3 of 6).
The winners: Winners here lead with Runner + Physics, priced around $9. The breakout hits carry Runner + Physics + 3D Platformer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2014 to 2024, and 1 of your 6 shipped in the last two years.

How these numbers were worked out

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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
