from ~6 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: 4 Elements at ≈ 48k–79k copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

The games that made it here had under 3 reviews in their first month.

Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Hidden Object (8 of 8) and Match 3 (8 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Puzzle + Match 3. The breakout hits carry Adventure + Singleplayer + Fantasy; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2010 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
