The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Simulation (6 of 8) and Building (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Building, priced around $22. The breakout hits carry Building + Base-Building + Survival; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2021. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
