What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 339 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1 to 772.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Open World (7 of 8) and Open World Survival Craft (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Open World Survival Craft + Survival, priced around $27. The breakout hits carry Building + Multiplayer + Crafting; a typical game here doesn't.

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