The Puzzle lane

A big, proven genre, though hit-driven: most sell around 5.2M copies, while a few break out far above.

A typical game
≈ 5.2M copies
≈ $40.5M after Steam's cut

A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

1 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 4 are breakout hits far above it, and 3 are too small to compare.

Copies and revenue are rough lifetime estimates from the review count; typical figures are medians per column, so they can come from different games.

The lane you'd be entering
  • Winners here lead with Puzzle, priced around $15.
  • The breakout hits carry Co-op + Multiplayer + Story Rich; a typical game here doesn't.
  • The games you compared span 2007 to 2021, a lane with a long track record.
  • A typical game here lands in Diamond ($1M+ before Steam's cut, est.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
