All 8 of the similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of these similar games. The closest is Farming Sim (4 of 8), so its genre is hard to place.

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