Your set
Your set clusters on Third-Person Shooter (5 of 5) and Action-Adventure (4 of 5).
The winners
Winners here lead with Female Protagonist + Third Person, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Female Protagonist + Adventure + Action; a typical game here doesn't.

How these numbers were worked out

A hit here: 1,000+ reviews, roughly $150k+ before Steam's cut (a standard indie benchmark).

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).
