All 8 of your similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Beat 'em up (2 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

Best case: Russian Fishing 4 at ≈ 2.2M–3.6M copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 16k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 55 to 21k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Beat 'em up (2 of 8) and Boxing (2 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Fishing + Simulation. The breakout hits carry Fishing + Nature + Realistic; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2015 to 2024, and 1 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
