The middle of these games

≈ 62k–86k copies

≈ $280k–$483k after Steam's cut

from ~2k 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.

Your picks lean toward this genre's biggest survivors; the typical figure reads from its ordinary successes.

Best case: Judgment at ≈ 300k–487k copies, ≈ $3.3M–$8.9M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 1k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 226 to 5k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Action-Adventure (7 of 8) and Cinematic (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Beat 'em up + Action-Adventure, priced around $40. The breakout hits carry Adventure + Beat 'em up + 3D Fighter; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
Only 3 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
