The middle of these games

≈ 427k–777k copies

≈ $4.7M–$6.0M after Steam's cut

from ~10k 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: Batman™: Arkham Origins at ≈ 4.1M–6.7M copies, ≈ $22.7M–$61.0M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Open World (8 of 8) and Superhero (8 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Open World + Superhero, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Third Person + Singleplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2012 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).
