The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Building (8 of 8) and Sandbox (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Building + Sandbox, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Education; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2010 to 2025, and 1 of your 8 shipped in the last two years.

How these numbers were worked out

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).
