A typical game among these

≈ 1.3M–2.2M copies

≈ $9.2M–$13.1M after Steam's cut

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Portal at ≈ 12.6M–20.5M copies, ≈ $34.6M–$93.1M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

These games: The similar games share 3D Platformer (5 of 8) and Platformer (5 of 8).

When they shipped: The similar games span 2006 to 2019, 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 36 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).
