19 in 100 said no: 17 after the window had closed, 2 while a refund was still possible.

How this is counted

Half of its Steam reviewers had played 64 hours or less when they gave their verdict. The middle half sat between 20 hours and 175 hours.

One token is 1% of its Steam reviews, standing at the hours its author had played. Counted from about 430,000 Steam reviews, by the hours each author had played when they wrote theirs. It is not a time to beat.

It is recommended most by players at 20–50 hours: 85% of them. Among players past 500 hours that falls to 79%.

3% of its reviews were written inside Steam's two-hour refund window, and 52% of those recommend it. After the window, 82% do. Of the players who gave it a thumbs-down, 92% were already past the window; the typical thumbs-down came 67 hours in.

How this is counted

The typical player's hours are the hours Steam reviewers had played when they wrote their review, not a time to beat. The days count from today, playing the hours the pace says on each day.

How this is counted

83% of the players who launched Fallout 4 hold War Never Changes, its first story achievement on Steam, and 19% hold Prepared for the Future, its last. The steepest drop comes between When Freedom Calls (66%) and Unlikely Valentine (44%).

Steam's global achievement stats count everyone who ever launched the game, people still playing included. They are not a finish rate. The filter is the steepest drop between two story achievements; the players who never reached the first one barely started, and are never the filter.

How this is counted

At Steam's US list price of $19.99, the typical player's 64 hours come to 31¢ an hour. Past the two-hour refund window, 82% of its Steam reviewers recommend it. At 31¢ an hour, Fallout 4 is cheaper per hour than 461 of 465 action RPGs here: the typical one of 465 action RPGs here charges $1.86, so the same $19.99 buys 6× the hours.

The price is Steam's US list price for the game by itself: not a sale price, a bundle or what anyone paid. The hours are the ones its reviewers had played, not a time to beat. Its kind (action RPGs) is what the game is first, as a model that knows games named it once from a list of Steam's kinds (for a game it did not know, its strongest Steam tags name it), among the kinds with at least 20 priced games here; failing that, by its Steam genre. The going rate is the middle hourly cost of those games, and the receipt prices its typical hours at it. The words beside it compare it with its kind: loved is 90% recommending it or more, liked 80%, mixed 65%; it gets played when a quarter fewer of the owners read here never launched it than of its kind's typical game. Whether it holds up is drawn on the hours road above, and counts toward the one-word answer.

Is Fallout 4 better now than at launch?

How this is counted

Its Steam reviews began in November 2015. Of those posted in the first 30 days, 78% recommend it; of those posted in the last 12 months, 65% do.

One token is 2% of the reviews first posted in its first 30 days, and in the last 12 months. Each counts with the verdict it carries today, so a review its author has since changed shows the new one. The biggest comebacks and falls.

How this is counted

From IGDB, found by its Steam app: the machines Fallout 4 came out on and the year it first reached each, and the collections, ports, remasters and remakes that carry it. A machine counts for today while it, or the one after it, still plays its games and its store sells them: Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series, PC and phones. A PC release from before 2005 counts as gone, unless Steam sells it. IGDB does not say when a store stopped selling a release, so a delisted one can still show here.

Would you like Fallout 4?

Give the ball your Steam profile link or name. It reads the games you own most like Fallout 4, how long each held you against the typical player, and how long Fallout 4 would take you. Public profiles only. No account needed, and no library is saved.

How this is counted

It reads how long you tend to stay: across every game you've played whose typical hours it knows (free games left out), how often you went past the typical player and how often you left before half their hours. It glows when you often stay past them, dims when you often leave early, and needs five played games to read at all. Then it shows the games you own most like this one, by the same measure as the shelf of games like it, each with your hours against the typical player's.

Why not a forecast for this game: on 36,766 Steam libraries, how a player did on games like one told little beyond how long they stay in games at all, so those games are shown as evidence and never scored. Nothing of the library is kept.

All 30 games like Fallout 4, and which you already own
How this is counted

Its own series apart, where it plays alike; then the games sharing the most of its strongest Steam tags, genres and themes, the better known ahead among the about as alike. A model that knows games read the list once: the ones it said do not play like this game are left out, the closest come first. Under each name, what sets it apart from Fallout 4: a kind of game it is that Fallout 4 is not, a feature its tags carry that Fallout 4's barely do, how many hours people play it, how its reviewers feel. Each case wears the hours its own page leads with.
