Now let's take a look at the settings presented in the top 150. The setting fantasy has taken the lead. Action 31 of the game from the top takes place in the fantasy world. The second place was divided between the fabulous setting and the setting of the casino , 25 games each. The third position was taken by the “ modern world ”. 23 games have this setting. Of the popular ones, the historical setting can be noted - 8 games, zombies - 5 games, military - 5 games, sports - 7 games, superheroes - 6 games, fantastic - 4 games.

In match 3 games, the fabulous setting prevails — 17 of 19 games. In strategic games, historical is leading - 7 games, but the fantasy setting is not far behind - 4 games and military - 3 games. In shooters and assault there is no definite leader, each setting here is represented by 1-2 games. For building games and farms, developers prefer to use the setting of modern life.
