The middle of these games

≈ 69k–74k copies

≈ $104k–$262k 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.

Your picks lean toward this genre's biggest survivors; the typical figure reads from its ordinary successes.

Best case: Supraland at ≈ 440k–714k copies, ≈ $2.4M–$6.5M 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 695 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 384 to 3k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Puzzle (7 of 8) and Exploration (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Puzzle-Platformer + Metroidvania, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Puzzle-Platformer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2023. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
