Games like The God Unit

A typical game among these

≈ 114k–545k copies

≈ $62k–$1.0M after Steam's cut

from ~5k 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: Besiege at ≈ 1.3M–2.1M copies, ≈ $5.5M–$14.7M after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 91 reviews in their first month; the range was 35 to 31k.

Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Physics (7 of 8) and Puzzle (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Simulation + Sandbox, priced around $15.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2013 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).
