≈ 77k–131k copies

≈ $326k–$499k 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: Lara Croft GO at ≈ 170k–276k copies, ≈ $466k–$1.3M 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 939 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 326 to 2k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Puzzle (6 of 8) and Turn-Based (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Puzzle, priced around $17. The breakout hits carry Adventure + Dungeon Crawler + First-Person; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2011 to 2023, 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).
