The middle of these games

≈ 73k–166k copies

≈ $136k–$400k 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.

Best case: Learn to Fly 3 at ≈ 388k–631k 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 393 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 323 to 2k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Puzzle (6 of 8) and Sandbox (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Physics + Simulation. The breakout hits carry Free to Play + Physics + Flight; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2012 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
