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: Dinkum at ≈ 721k–1.2M copies, ≈ $4.0M–$10.7M 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 4k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1k to 24k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Farming Sim (6 of 8) and Crafting (5 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Open World Survival Craft + Agriculture, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Co-op + Multiplayer; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2018 to 2025, and 3 of your 8 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 38 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
