A lot of their lines are recycled from the last game, and most of the new ones are specific to certain matches or competitions. We don't really get to watch them bantering at the desk that much anymore. The caster duo of Bob the ogre and Jim the vampire are back in Blood Bowl 3, but are mostly heard and not seen. And I could be wrong, but it seems like the player models and animations have hardly changed at all. The colors were more saturated and in-your-face, the whole match was more readable. Obviously the higher graphics settings have increased fidelity and make use of more modern rendering techniques, but when I look at Blood Bowl 2 and 3 side-by-side, I just prefer the former. Even things like icons that present you choices during certain plays, like using a reroll or an apothecary to avoid an injury, are smaller and harder to read. It just isn't as bombastic or eye-catching, whether you’re on the field looking at the overlays or in the menus. Across the board, Blood Bowl 3 feels like a much less polished game. And I'd highly recommend its Legendary Edition, which you can get on Steam, PlayStation 4, or Xbox One with all the DLC for the same price or less than this lackluster sequel. Brittle Leagueīut all of that could have been said about 2015's Blood Bowl 2.
Sometimes the outcome of a play comes down too much to luck and too little to player skill. A lot of my pre-existing criticisms of Blood Bowl as a video game still stand, in that I think using six-sided dice for everything can feel a bit too random, and that works better when you're leaning over a table and having some beers with friends than it does in a video game against the AI. Moment to moment, the turn-based mechanics are fun, tactical, and exciting. The inclusion of some seemingly unfinished playable races is a definite stumble, but a campaign with spectacular presentation and deep, crunchy multiplayer league options blitz this game into the endzone. Blood Bowl 2 is a smashy, satisfying, irreverent combat-sports melee that leaves just a bit too much of the outcome up to the six-sided dice.
