Redfall Is One Of Steam's Top 15 Worst Reviewed Games
The knocks just keep on coming for poor Redfall. After receiving mostly bad reviews from both critics and players for being an uninspired multiplayer live-service shooter so full of bugs and poor gameplay that it's laughable, Redfall is now one of Steam's lowest-rated games.
Head over to Steam 250's "Hall of Shame" and you'll see Redfall 14th from the bottom.

However, that same algorithm can also be applied to negative reviews, which has placed Redfall just ahead of Gasp and just behind Umbrella Corps.

If that's the case, Redfall is doing a great job of going quietly into that sweet night. After spending exactly one day on Steam's top-sellers list, Redfall is nowhere to be seen
