The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Shooter (4 of 8) and Survival (4 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Shooter + FPS, priced around $37. The breakout hits carry FPS + Shooter + PvP; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2020. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
