≈ 505k–716k copies

≈ $3.7M–$8.1M after Steam's cut

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: DOOM Eternal at ≈ 5.4M–8.7M copies, ≈ $44.4M–$119.4M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

Your set
Your set clusters on FPS (8 of 8) and Gore (8 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with FPS + Gore, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Great Soundtrack + Fast-Paced + Demons; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2017 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
