Games like Abode 2

A typical game among these

≈ 128k–318k copies

≈ $547k–$2.5M after Steam's cut

from ~4k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: BONEWORKS at ≈ 1.1M–1.7M copies, ≈ $8.7M–$23.3M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

These games
The similar games share First-Person (6 of 8) and Puzzle (5 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with VR + Physics, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Great Soundtrack + Physics + Sandbox; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
The similar games span 2014 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
