Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

3 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: I Am Fish at ≈ 98k–159k copies, ≈ $537k–$1.4M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

Your set clusters on 3D Platformer (7 of 8) and Physics (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Simulation + 3D Platformer, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Simulation + Cartoon + Cute; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2015 to 2024, and 2 of your 8 shipped in the last two years.
How these numbers were worked out

A hit here: 1,000+ reviews, roughly $150k+ before Steam's cut (a standard indie benchmark).

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