About half the games that made it here had over 2k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 454 to 11k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Exploration (7 of 8) and Simulation (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Life Sim, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Strategy + Building + City Builder; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2013 to 2025, and 3 of your 8 shipped in the last two years.

How these numbers were worked out

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