The middle of these games

≈ 57k–80k copies

≈ $289k–$749k after Steam's cut

from ~2k reviews

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

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Chernobylite Complete Edition at ≈ 386k–627k copies, ≈ $3.2M–$8.6M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

About half the games that made it here had over 661 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 66 to 6k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on First-Person (6 of 8) and Simulation (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with First-Person, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Space Sim + Open World + Co-op; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2018 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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
