Apex Legends review-bombing pushes game to lowest-ever Steam rating Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players have continued to review-bomb the game on Steam, pushing it from \u2018mostly negative\u2019 to \u2018overwhelmingly negative\u2019 in the past few days in an apparent revolt against the game\u2019s developers. Negative reviews started rolling in for the Respawn and EA battle royale following the announcement of its new battle pass system. The change was not received well by players as it increased the price of the pass by attaching it to splits instead of seasons, and it is no longer purchasable with Apex Coins. While the game\u2019s aggregated reviews over its entire lifespan are still \u2018overwhelmingly positive,\u2019 its recent reviews section is now \u2018overwhelmingly negative\u2019 \u2013 the lowest rating Steam has \u2013 thanks to consistent negative reviews over days from veteran players. \u201cIf Respawn doesn\u2019t care about me, I would have to be insane to keep giving them money just to suffer more. If they won\u2019t respect my time, my effort, my skill, I won\u2019t respect their game. I will not recommend this game to anybody and frankly, this game does not deserve to stay alive with the direction it has and is taking,\u201d said one July 16 review from a player with over 4,000 hours played. Some reviews are from Apex Legends console players who wanted to give their opinions on the platform\u2019s recent changes. \u201cStay Overwhelmingly Negative until you realize we\u2019re not stupid EA & Respawn. \u2018FoR tHe CommUNity!\u2019 my cheeks. I\u2019ve put 1,413 hours into this game on my PS4 and you are so bad that I pulled out the PC for this! FIX THE GAME AND STOP SELLING ME A HORRIBLE BATTLE PASS I HAVE TO PAY TWICE FOR,\u201d another review said. Some players are also concerned about the title\u2019s longevity as its player count has dropped significantly in 2024, and the game still suffers from cheaters at high levels of play. Respawn and EA have not acknowledged the community\u2019s outcry at the time of writing. Whether every player will follow through with their pledge to uninstall the game or not pay for the new battle pass remains to be seen as Season 22 is still days away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
