Release date: Jun 11, 2020 Data as of 2026-10-19 View on Steam ↗

Players who really played rate it higher than Steam overall. Early impressions are weaker, so the first few hours tend to decide whether it clicks.

Good for

  • Players who want to soak in the world and atmosphere

Think twice if you are

  • Players who want fair matches (reports of cheaters)
  • Players relying on Japanese (Japanese reviews rate it lower)

Summary

Battlefield 1 has a TrueGG Rating of 89.7%: the positive share among 8,992 reviews written in the last 180 days by players with 10+ hours, close to Steam's overall 86.5%. Players who really play it broadly agree with the headline number (all time: 88.0%).

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 5% of the total, and only 63% of them are positive. Some players bounce off early, but those who get past the opening rate it higher. Steam accepts refund requests within 2 hours of play and 14 days of purchase.

Beyond the first hours, approval is fairly even across playtime.

Negative reviews most often mention cheaters (less than at launch). Positive reviews praise how fun it feels, graphics and music, and the world and atmosphere.

Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 80.3%, 9.4 points below all languages.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (86.0% adjusted), so Steam's number is not noticeably distorted by key giveaways or throwaway reviews.

All figures come from Steam's public review counts, and topics are counted with our published dictionary (no AI). Data as of 2026-10-19.

03 / TRUEGG INSIGHTS

Why it is rated this way

What drives the rating

Complaints center on live operations and online play (Cheaters). These shift over time, so weigh recent reviews more than the all-time figure. It is also a game many people bounce off early (early reviews are much less positive than those of players who stuck with it).

Counted from 412 recent negative and 600 positive reviews in Japanese and English, using our published topic dictionary. No AI is used. Topics overlap, so shares do not add up to 100%. Sarcasm and nuance are not detected, and this does not show cause and effect.How we count
