Your set
Your set clusters on Looter Shooter (5 of 8) and Action Roguelike (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Co-op, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Co-op; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
