Your set: Your set clusters on Turn-Based Tactics (7 of 8) and CRPG (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with CRPG + Character Customization, priced around $40. The breakout hits carry Story Rich + Sexual Content + Violent; 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
