All 8 of your similar games are hits.

No genre covers most of your similar games. The closest is Story Rich (4 of 8), so the genre you lead with is still undecided.

Of the 416 indie games that passed 1,000 reviews in 2022, 11.8% were novel genre mixes and 88.2% stuck to an established genre. Published indie market research.

Best case: Cyberpunk 2077 at ≈ 24.3M–39.4M copies, ≈ $400.4M–$1076.6M after Steam's cut. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here

The genre you'd be entering

Your set: Your set clusters on Story Rich (4 of 8) and FPS (3 of 8).
The winners: Winners here lead with FPS, priced around $60. The breakout hits carry FPS + Cyberpunk + Open World; a typical game here doesn't.
The era: The games you compared span 2017 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 43 for the oldest, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
