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.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Third-Person Shooter (4 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

Best case: REMNANT II® at ≈ 1.7M–2.8M copies, ≈ $23.3M–$62.7M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Third-Person Shooter (4 of 8) and Co-op (3 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Souls-like + Co-op, priced around $40. The breakout hits carry Action + Co-op + Adventure; 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).
