The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Open World (3 of 8) and Simulation (3 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Fishing + Simulation, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Massively Multiplayer + MMORPG; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2017. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
