Games like SOK MAX

A typical game among these

≈ 45k–72k copies

≈ $127k–$387k after Steam's cut

from ~1k reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019's Steam releases earned $34k or more before Steam's cut, so plan for that or less.

All 8 of the similar games are hits.

Best case: Baba Is You at ≈ 712k–1.2M copies, ≈ $2.9M–$7.9M after Steam's cut. It is a breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What their first month looked like

About half the games that made it here had over 375 reviews in their first month; the range was 310 to 897.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Puzzle (7 of 8) and Sokoban (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Puzzle + Logic, priced around $17. The breakout hits carry Indie + Singleplayer + Logic; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2015 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 61 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
