The middle of these games

≈ 126k–209k copies

≈ $1.1M–$1.5M after Steam's cut

from ~4k 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.

Your picks lean toward this genre's biggest survivors; the typical figure reads from its ordinary successes.

Best case: Deepest Sword at ≈ 270k–440k copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 1k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 455 to 1k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on 2D Platformer (7 of 8) and Platformer (7 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Puzzle-Platformer + 2D Platformer, priced around $15. The breakout hits carry 2D + Singleplayer + Precision Platformer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2009 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).
