Your picks lean toward this genre's biggest survivors; the typical figure reads from its ordinary successes.

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

Your set
Your set clusters on Shooter (4 of 8) and Anime (3 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Sniper + Shooter, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Sniper + Stealth + World War II; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2010 to 2017, and none of them 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 43 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).
