Does this actually work?

We left Viridi out and predicted the genre from its 8 similar games. Every figure here, including Viridi's, is estimated from Steam reviews, not self-reported sales.

The middle of these games

≈ 3.5M–4.0M copies

≈ $26.5M–$64.2M after Steam's cut

from ~83k 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: theHunter: Call of the Wild™ at ≈ 7.0M–11.3M copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Simulation (7 of 8) and Sandbox (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Sandbox. The breakout hits carry Life Sim + Character Customization + Romance; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2020. 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 52 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
