The middle of these games

≈ 347k–694k copies

≈ $3.1M–$9.9M after Steam's cut

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.

Best case: Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition at ≈ 7.1M–11.5M copies, ≈ $87.4M–$235.0M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Fantasy (5 of 8) and Story Rich (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Character Customization + Story Rich, priced around $47. The breakout hits carry Character Customization + Turn-Based Strategy + Cinematic; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2014 to 2023, and none of them 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
