The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Anime (3 of 8) and Dark (3 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Mature + Utilities, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Design & Illustration + Animation & Modeling + First-Person; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2018. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
