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: IdleOn - The Incremental MMO at ≈ 736k–1.2M copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Simulation (6 of 8) and Management (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Idler + MMORPG. The breakout hits carry Idler + Pixel Graphics + Free to Play; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2019 to 2026, 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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
