Games like Vector

The middle of these games

≈ 99k–140k copies

≈ $446k–$580k 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.

Best case: Mirror's Edge™ Catalyst at ≈ 410k–666k copies, ≈ $2.3M–$6.1M 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 2k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1k to 2k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on First-Person (6 of 8) and Parkour (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Parkour + Female Protagonist, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Female Protagonist + Open World + Cyberpunk; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2014 to 2022, 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).
