The middle of these games

≈ 4.1M–6.4M copies

≈ $27.5M–$78.2M after Steam's cut

from ~105k 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: The Forest at ≈ 20.7M–33.6M copies, ≈ $113.8M–$305.9M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 34k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 3k to 68k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Horror (7 of 8) and Survival Horror (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Open World Survival Craft + Survival, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Open World Survival Craft + Open World + Crafting; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2014 to 2023, and none of them 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
