![]() ![]() In short, it’s up to you to position your team to make decent plays, be it to take out opponents, or simply to be able to score a touchdown. In this blood-soaked sports game, you’ll play a turn-based version of American Football, albeit with a bit more blood and gore, and a lot of plays that would be frowned upon in real life. The latter is probably not truly the sound of the ocean, but for some reason the background noise makes it seem as if you’re constantly on a boat in the midst of a storm.īlood Bowl 3 is like its predecessor based on the tabletop game with the same game. If you don’t immediately go to the menu to alter certain settings, you probably won’t even hear the commentaries due to the sounds of the spectators and the very odd sound of ocean waves. Not only are the sound effects very basic and repetitive, but the overall sound mixing is also horrible. Outside of the commentaries, the sound design is quite disappointing. We did encounter a few graphical glitches, such as severe flickering in the menus, but these were minor issues. We see the same characters copy-pasted over and over again, as even the cameramen outside of the pitch loop the same animations over and over. This is especially noticeable when taking a closer look at the spectators in the arena, or the other NPCs, as they look rather horrible. As a whole, when comparing the new game to footage of its eight-year-old predecessor, we wouldn’t say that this is a real next-gen upgrade. We did love the overall color tones, as this also reminded us a bit more of actual painted figurines. While many of the character models are very much reminiscent of the tabletop models, they look a bit rough around the edges at times. Graphically Blood Bowl 3 looks very dated. You’ll get a few short cutscenes in-between matches, but these don’t really add that much to the overall story value of the game. ![]() Outside of some funny commentaries, there isn’t that much story to be found in the game. After many gaming sessions with bugs and unresponsive controls, here’s why you should best avoid Blood Bowl 3 in its current state. Now, however, Blood Bowl 3 has been released, and we had high hopes for this bloody strategy sports game, but in the end, the new game was a massive step back in terms of quality and content. We found the game to be quite enjoyable, and truth be told, we didn’t expect a new installment to be released anytime soon. ![]() It’s been eight years since the last installment of the main Blood Bowl series has been released. ![]()
