Best case: Robinson: The Journey at ≈ 19k–31k copies, ≈ $104k–$279k 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 4 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 1 to 32.
Under about 100 in month one, almost nothing recovers.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on VR (8 of 8) and Dinosaurs (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with VR, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Adventure + Puzzle; a typical game here doesn't.
The era

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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
