A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

4 of your 8 games sit in the typical range; 4 are breakout hits far above it.

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 3D Platformer + Metroidvania, priced around $17.
  • The breakout hits carry Dark Fantasy; a typical game here doesn't.
  • 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.
  • A typical game here lands in Diamond ($1M+ before Steam's cut, est.). Tiers: Chris Zukowski's benchmark tiers.
