5 of your 8 similar games are hits.

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

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Immersive Sim (4 of 8) and Simulation (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Destruction + Physics, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Destruction + Voxel + Heist; a typical game here doesn't.

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