The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Simulation (7 of 8) and First-Person (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Sandbox + Gore, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry Moddable + Building; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2015 to 2026, and 2 of your 8 shipped in the last two years.

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