eFootball is officially the worst-rated game on Steam

When Konami announced eFootball back in July, the company promised better gameplay including improved defenses, more realistic counter-attacks, and one-on-one confrontations that looked like the real thing. However, fans, especially those on the PC, are not impressed for the most part.

If it's any consolation, some of the reviews do point out positives. For example, some love how eFootball allows for "instant play from ball boys without cutting away" and the "new defending mechanics". It's just that the core gameplay is so bad that the few positives aren't enough to redeem it. eFootball has received so many reviews on Steam alone that it's now the worst-reviewed game on Steam ever.

At the moment, eFootball has a 1.04 rating on Steam out of 16,693 votes. But, it appears that Konami isn't giving up.

According to Konami, it intends on improving the quality of eFootball while also adding content. Konami also assured fans that an October update is already in the works. Because of this, fans might expect Konami to push back some of the features that it promised in its development roadmap. This includes everything from cross-platform matches, a battle pass system, online leagues, and a team-building mode, all coming in eFootball's first big update.

Hopefully, Konami can indeed live up to its promises. Otherwise, the company might suffer the same fate as that of CD Projekt RED. Coincidentally, it was also around this time last year that the Polish studio released Cyberpunk 2077. So far, the verdict is still out on CDPR redeeming itself.

We're definitely rooting for Konami. Given that the company confirmed earlier this year that it had several games in development with a recent leak claiming that Konami was working on new Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania, and Silent Hill games, the studio could stand to use some positive PR going forward.
