The middle of these games

≈ 651–2k copies

≈ $4k–$5k after Steam's cut

from ~29 reviews

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

2 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Jusant at ≈ 170k–276k copies, ≈ $1.2M–$3.1M 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 17 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 4 to 737.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Parkour (5 of 8) and 3D Platformer (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Puzzle, priced around $17. The breakout hits carry Puzzle + Adventure + Turn-Based; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2016 to 2024, and 1 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
