A typical game among these

≈ 1k–2k copies

≈ $977–$4k after Steam's cut

from ~51 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 3 similar games are hits.

This comes from a small set of games, so take it as a sketch.

Best case: SokoPenguin at ≈ 2k–3k copies, ≈ $783–$2k after Steam's cut.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 18 reviews in their first month; the range was 18 to 34.

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

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Puzzle (3 of 3) and Sokoban (3 of 3).
The winners: Winners here lead with Sokoban + Puzzle, priced around $1.
When they shipped: Only 1 of the 3 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 of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
