Your set: Your set clusters on Action Roguelike (7 of 8) and FPS (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Rogue-lite + FPS, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Multiplayer + Online Co-Op + Co-op; 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
