Games like World Of Mystery

The middle of these games

≈ 2.4M–4.8M copies

≈ $19.0M–$90.2M after Steam's cut

from ~102k 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.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Combat (2 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: Battlefield™ 2042 at ≈ 8.1M–13.1M copies, ≈ $133.2M–$358.1M after Steam's cut.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 36k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 11k to 89k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Combat (2 of 8) and Management (2 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with FPS + Shooter, priced around $60.
The era
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.
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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
