All 8 of your similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Open World (4 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Open World (4 of 8) and Sandbox (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Management + Simulation, priced around $20. The breakout hits carry Management + Singleplayer + Mythology; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2008 to 2024, and 1 of your 8 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).
