What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 53 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 13 to 2k.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on 3D Platformer (7 of 8) and Open World (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Open World + 3D Platformer, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Sandbox + Colorful + Singleplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: Only 1 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. 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).
