No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Horror (4 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

Your set: Your set clusters on Horror (4 of 8) and Capitalism (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Open World + Post-apocalyptic, priced around $40. The breakout hits carry Post-apocalyptic + Base-Building + Open World; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2016 to 2025, and 3 of your 8 shipped in the last two years.

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