A typical game among these

≈ 5k copies

≈ $26k after Steam's cut

from ~120 reviews

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

None of the 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Mini Words - minimalist puzzle at ≈ 5k–9k copies, ≈ $3k–$8k after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share Trivia (7 of 8) and Puzzle (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Word Game + Puzzle, priced around $2. The breakout hits carry Spelling + Board Game + Point & Click; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
None of the similar games shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2020. That says more about which games were found than about the market.
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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
