All 8 of your similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Automobile Sim (2 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

Best case: Terraria at ≈ 98.2M–159.6M copies, ≈ $269.8M–$725.3M 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 43k reviews in their first month; the spread ran 20k to 58k.

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Automobile Sim (2 of 8) and Crafting (2 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Open World Survival Craft + Sandbox, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Open World Survival Craft + Sandbox + Survival; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2011 to 2023, and none of them 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).
