The middle of these games

≈ 988k–2.4M copies

≈ $14.3M–$22.5M after Steam's cut

from ~29k 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: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition at ≈ 15.6M–25.4M copies, ≈ $172.0M–$462.5M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Fantasy (8 of 8) and Open World (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Open World + Fantasy, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Adventure + Moddable + Exploration; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2009 to 2020, 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 79 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
