The middle of these games

≈ 64k–74k copies

≈ $426k–$660k after Steam's cut

from ~2k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

All 8 of your similar games are hits.

Best case: Dorfromantik at ≈ 734k–1.2M copies, ≈ $2.8M–$7.6M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 1k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 406 to 15k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Puzzle (7 of 8) and City Builder (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Puzzle, priced around $12. The breakout hits carry Casual + Relaxing + Turn-Based Strategy; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2017 to 2024, and 3 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
