The middle of these games

≈ 1.4M–2.5M copies

≈ $9.9M–$14.1M after Steam's cut

from ~39k 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.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is First-Person (3 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: Team Fortress 2 at ≈ 79.0M–128.3M copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on First-Person (3 of 8) and Robots (3 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Hero Shooter + FPS. The breakout hits carry Hero Shooter + Class-Based + Team-Based; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
The games you compared span 2007 to 2021, 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).
