The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Card Game (7 of 8) and Puzzle (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Utilities + Audio Production, priced around $5. The breakout hits carry Utilities + Audio Production + Music; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2020. 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 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).
