责怪 means 'to blame' and focuses on assigning fault or responsibility for a mistake, often with a tone of reproach. It's similar to 责备 (zé bèi) but slightly more emotional and colloquial; 埋怨 (mán yuàn) is more about complaining or grumbling than direct blame. 批 (pī) is more formal and often means 'to criticize' in a work or academic context.
