Chart displaying Far Cry® 5 percentiles of time played for positive, negative, and early access reviews.

This chart displays the time played in Far Cry® 5, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time played is great, reaching 76 hours in the 80th percentile.

The median play time for the negative reviews is similar to the median for positive reviews, hinting that there is no significant difference in the player's experience and that is more a question of personal taste. Some Far Cry® 5 players left negative reviews after playing for a long time (more than 53 hours for the top 20%), it can be a sign that a part of the fanbase was displeased about the evolution of the game and decided to review bomb it. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
