What it took to get here

About half the games that made it here had over 2k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 248 to 6k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Platformer (6 of 8) and Souls-like (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Souls-like, priced around $35. The breakout hits carry 2D + Hand-drawn + Atmospheric; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: Only 2 of your 8 similar games shipped in the last two years. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.

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).
