Your set
Your set clusters on First-Person (5 of 8) and Open World (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Platformer + Puzzle, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Platformer + Puzzle + Dark Humor; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 1998 to 2025, and 2 of your 8 shipped in the last two years.
How these numbers were worked out

A hit here: 1,000+ reviews, roughly $150k+ before Steam's cut (a standard indie benchmark).

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