The middle of these games

≈ 1.5M–2.7M copies

≈ $9.3M–$26.8M after Steam's cut

from ~34k 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: Outer Wilds at ≈ 2.6M–4.3M copies, ≈ $18.2M–$48.9M 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 3k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 392 to 5k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Puzzle (6 of 8) and Horror (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Exploration + Space, priced around $25. The breakout hits carry Space + Exploration + Mystery; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2010 to 2022, 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).
