The middle of these games

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 41 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 12 to 837.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Chess (7 of 8) and Puzzle (7 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Chess + Time Travel, priced around $12. The breakout hits carry Multiplayer + Time Travel + Time Manipulation; 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
