How this is counted
Half of its Steam reviewers had played 23 hours or less when they gave their verdict. The middle half sat between 9.5 hours and 42 hours.
One token is 1% of its Steam reviews, standing at the hours its author had played. Counted from about 191,000 Steam reviews, by the hours each author had played when they wrote theirs. It is not a time to beat.
It grows on people: 81% recommend it at 2–5 hours, and 92% past 500 hours.

Where do players get filtered in Far Cry 5?
The filter
You Are Wrath
10 of every 100 players got to this one and no further.
They hold The Spark and never earned it.
How this is counted
30% of the players who launched Far Cry 5 hold The Spark, its first story achievement on Steam, and 10% hold Together Forever, its last. The steepest drop comes between The Spark (30%) and You Are Wrath (20%).
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.
Where did you leave it?
Stopped part way? Your Steam profile brings back the story so far, read aloud, up to the last story achievement you hold. Nothing past it.

How this is counted
At Steam's US list price of $59.99, the typical player's 23 hours come to $2.61 an hour. Past the two-hour refund window, 82% of its Steam reviewers recommend it. An hour of Far Cry 5 costs about what the typical one of 652 first-person shooters here charges $2.73.
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 (first-person shooters) 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.

70% of the Steam reviews posted in its first 30 days recommend it; 83% of those posted in the last 12 months do.
Earned when the Steam reviews of a game's last 12 months recommend it 10 points or more above those of its first 30 days, at 80% or higher, and the rise is still there between players with the same hours. Every game that holds it.
How this is counted
Its Steam reviews began in March 2018. Of those posted in the first 30 days, 70% recommend it; of those posted in the last 12 months, 83% 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 Far Cry 5 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 Far Cry 5?
Give the ball your Steam profile link or name. It reads the games you own most like Far Cry 5, how long each held you against the typical player, and how long Far Cry 5 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.

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 Far Cry 5: a kind of game it is that Far Cry 5 is not, a feature its tags carry that Far Cry 5's barely do, how many hours people play it, how its reviewers feel. Each case wears the hours its own page leads with.
