Your set clusters on Software (6 of 8) and VR (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Software + Utilities, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Utilities + Shooter + Combat; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2020. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
