The middle of these games

≈ 1k–3k copies

≈ $3k–$8k after Steam's cut

from ~61 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

None of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Mercury Fallen at ≈ 8k–13k copies, ≈ $54k–$146k 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 27 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 8 to 213.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Exploration (5 of 8) and Action-Adventure (2 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Sci-fi + Management, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Sci-fi + Isometric + Colony Sim; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2018 to 2025, and 3 of your 8 shipped in the last two years.
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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
