A typical game among these

≈ 1k–6k copies

≈ $8k–$72k after Steam's cut

from ~53 reviews

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

1 of the 8 similar games is a hit.

Best case: Death's Door at ≈ 552k–897k copies, ≈ $3.0M–$8.2M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like
About half the games that made it here had over 17 reviews in their first month; the range was 7 to 4k.
Games with under about 100 reviews in month one almost never recover.
The genre you'd be entering
These games
The similar games share 3D Platformer (7 of 8) and Action-Adventure (6 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Souls-like + 3D Platformer, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Souls-like + Cartoony + Dark Fantasy; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped
Only 1 of the 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. 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 36 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
