Games like Noch

The middle of these games

≈ 435k–1.2M copies

≈ $4.1M–$15.2M after Steam's cut

from ~16k 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: Metro Exodus at ≈ 3.4M–5.5M copies, ≈ $27.7M–$74.4M 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 8k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 254 to 14k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Survival (7 of 8) and Post-apocalyptic (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Post-apocalyptic + FPS, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Singleplayer + Story Rich + Action; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2017 to 2025, and 3 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
