The middle of these games

≈ 528k–670k copies

≈ $3.9M–$4.7M after Steam's cut

from ~13k 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: STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order™ at ≈ 5.0M–8.2M copies, ≈ $55.5M–$149.2M 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 5k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 2k to 23k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Metroidvania (7 of 8) and Exploration (4 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Beautiful + Metroidvania, priced around $30. The breakout hits carry Action + Atmospheric; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2016 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
