3 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Buckshot Roulette at ≈ 3.1M–5.0M copies, ≈ $2.5M–$6.8M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

About half the games that made it here had over 99 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 6 to 16k.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

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).
