All 8 of the similar games are hits.

These similar games lean toward the genre's biggest winners; the typical figure comes from its ordinary successes.

About half the games that made it here had over 198 reviews in their first month; the range was 197 to 897.

The genre you'd be entering

These games: The similar games share Puzzle (8 of 8) and Logic (6 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with Puzzle, priced around $3. The breakout hits carry Singleplayer + Minimalist; a typical game here doesn't.
When they shipped: The similar games span 2014 to 2022, 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 70 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
