Your set: Your set clusters on Party-Based RPG (6 of 8) and Turn-Based Combat (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Driving + Inventory Management, priced around $18. The breakout hits carry Pixel Graphics + Atmospheric + Driving; a typical game here doesn't.

Copies come from each game's reviews times a sales-per-review rate of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
