Your set: Your set clusters on Fantasy (6 of 8) and Magic (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Magic + Open World, priced around $60. The breakout hits carry Character Customization + Exploration + Open World; 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).
