Quel gâchis. Plus ils font d'opus, plus c'est nul. Les menus sont catastrophiques, tant la navigation que l'esthétique, et la personnalisation des joueurs est payante. J'aurais pu passer là dessus et me dire que l'important, c'est le gameplay, mais c'est lamentable également sur ce point. Je suis joueur de blood bowl depuis le jeu de plateau et j'ai poncé les deux premiers. Je joue principalement contre l'IA en ligue éternelle et cette dernière triche sur les lancers. Je sais, vous allez dire "encore un rageux qui connaît rien au stats et qui ne sait pas prioriser ses actions". Et bien je ne suis peut-être pas le meilleur tacticien ni le meilleur mathématicien du monde, mais je sais malgré tout faire la différence entre la malchance et le foutage de gueule. En plus, ils osent mettre le détail des résultats des jets de dés en fin de partie, afin que vous puissiez constater que vous avez eu autant de dés favorables que L'IA (en quantité), mais comme c'est elle qui les répartis durant le match... Bref, tant mieux pour ceux qui arrivent à prendre du plaisir avec ce jeu, mais pour ma part, c'est désinstallé et je prie pour qu'un studio respectueux des joueurs et de la licence reprenne le flambeau.

Just an absolute pile of garbage. There is no way this is game was made by professionals. Completely ridden with bugs and every time they fix one they create 10 more. The competitive mode is full of cheaters and the AI is the worst I have ever seen in any game. Every single aspect of the game is poorly done, from the clunky UI to the greedy monetization for terribly designed cosmetics to the lazy recycling of elements from Blood Bowl II..

Unironically the worst gameI have ever played in my life. Ive never left a review for a game on any website, but this was so bad that I went searching for somewhere to talk about this game. Thank God ps plus has this game for free, because I don’t know what I would do if I spent money on it. I left a 1 because the only thing i like about this game is the ability to create a team.

An unfinished game which has the audacity to charge extra (as predatory DLC) for fundamental components of the game. There is absolutely nothing to recommend this game over BB2, and it is not worthy of even crawling in the shadow of the actual boardgame.

If I had reviewed it prior to the season 4 patch, it probably would have been a 4/10 at best, but that patch seems have to fixed the bulk of the bugs, glitches and playing issues (at least for me). Is it perfect, no, but the devs seem committed to improving it. Is it better than Bloow Bowl II? Outside of some minor graphical updates (and of course the rule changes) its essentially the same game. Is it a decent conversion of the table top into video game? yes. Its a lot of fun, and post S4 patch the platinum is also a lot easier if you have any basic BB experience.

The game has some promising things that could’ve made this crowded and loved. Unfortunately the developing company has completely dropped the ball. Having a catastrophic release was not the best start for this game. However, it would’ve picked itself up if the bug fixes was the only issue. Unfortunately, those were actually the smaller problem. The biggest mistake was thinking they could go about this like any other game, targeting gamers. The Result is something very far from the BB2020 tabletop game being played today. The reality is that the target audience is 99% exciting tabletop players. So when drip feeding one team every 3 months and making it impossible to run leagues in a meaningful way, 99% of the players are excluded and won’t bother. Sprinkle some greedy EA-esque business behaviors, like charging insane amounts for customizing teams and season passes, you’ve got a complete train wreck. You can’t make up for all the nonsense by using marketing, engaging AndyDavo and all the other crap that’s been used to lure players in. Sure, I bought the game. But I won’t be returning to it. Therefore you have like 500 players on the servers. And the AI, for playing games by yourself? Embarrassing. The only way this game could be popular is if the top management realize they messed it up and dropped the ball (pun intended) and release all teams, make league admin available and let people play the actual game they love to play. Unfortunately, this will not happen. Someone hiding behind a lot of spreadsheets will just keep this afloat with minimal resources and keep ignoring the fan base of Blood Bowl. Never again will I buy a Blood Bowl on release date. Fool me once… For the last 1% of the potential customer base that don’t already play Blood Bowl IRL and are considering buying this, go play table top instead. And if you don’t know how, find a friend or local friendly gaming store. Trust me. Blood Bowl is an awesome game. This, however, is not worth your time and money.

This game is basically what Games Workshop wanted from all it's games, offer minimal almost **** for a game and see how much money its audience is willing to cough up. I'm glad it failed so hard. I strongly believe it is testing grounds to see how much these greedy a holes could get away with. The game is so broken and unfinished WITH everything behind a paywall you have to be thinking like I am (and other reviewers) is this some kind of bad joke? I refunded the game and Games Workshop really needs to pull its head out because this is beyond a joke. I seriously hope its audience (which is an almost too easy going just pays and doesn't care which they have been taken advantage on in the past) puts its foot down like they have with this pile of garbage and all future attempts at half ass games that aren't finished and / or half the content behind a damn paywall. Piss off with your crap and greed GW.

Early beta at best. Srsly, competition management are not working. Competition registration are impossible (you 1200 competitions, 99% of which you can't register and can't filter them by any attribute). They have no solo-mod campaign (which was featured in BB2) and absolutely terrible ui.

This game is a huge steaming pile of garbage. It is literally the exact same garbage as Blood Bowl 2. All the lazy developers did was slap a III on it and called it a day. It even recycles the commentary from BBII. Madden may be the same game every year but at least it comes out every year. This game has a 7-8 year gap, and it's still the same game. It just goes to show how extremely greedy and lazy the developers are. The gameplay is boring and repetitive. The physics are a joke. It's too buggy. Too many paywalls for customization. $30 isn't enough for the greedy developers. The multiplayer is complete trash. It is a broken piece of garbage. I have decided to refund this poor excuse ****. I have played just about enough to know that this garbage isn't worth a single penny. Even at $30, this game is still too expensive. It should have been free-to-play. The developers are asking for this game to be dead on arrival. I don't recommend this broken and unfinished game at all.

More like TURD Bowl! Avoid this bugy cash grab! Games Workshop the worst company ever!

Don't waste your money With this game. BB3 is a scam full of bugs and transactions.

Bug, bug, bug, crash, bug, bug, crash... for a solo game, you must have a connection to a really slow server due to full **** paywall (for a game paid 60 euros). To be brief, cyanide spit in the face of theirs customers, SHAME !

I cannot fathom being so **** that you botch a game this bad. Also you're huge jew noses are showing from the worst microtransaction shakedown of all time. **** cyanide and **** games workshop. Both can take an industrial powered, hydraulic **** on my ****

I don't know what they were thinking, but this is 10 steps back from 2. Not only is it greedy on the level of EA. Square Enix, and Blizzard, but it is riddles with gamebreaking bugs and paywalled content.

Fail to deliver what is paid for although reimbursing players with a shamble amount of credits, then expect people to pay for cosmetics!!

Game is unfinished buggy, greedy developers, and a micro transaction mess. Its like they used the idea of Diablo immortal with there micro transactions.

Blood Bowl 3 is one of those games where you can't press refund fast enough if you've got the option to do so. Way worse than Blood Bowl 2 in almost every way possible. The things that are better (ruleset and graphics) are completely overshadowed by the bad things.

Wholly unfinished, buggy, greed driven, teams that are finished are hidden behind a DLC pay wall. Avoid at all costs.

Don't waste your time and money. The developers are lazy and greedy, don't support such practices.

Fair warning, do not buy this game, you'll regret it if you do. It's a naked cash grab with predatory micro-transactions for things that were standard in previous versions smeared over an incomplete game. Contains multiple game-breaking bugs like an AI that simple won't decide on a team re-roll, effectively freezing the game. Cannot recommend, even for long-time fans.

0, 0, 0, 0, 0!!! If I had to come up with a worse game release then this then there would barely be any contenders if at all, but let's begin with The pros: -New ruleset from 2020 onwards -4 new races are introduced within the 12 release -New Pitches which bring variety to the visuals and other customizable options like Cheerleaders. (Currently not really available) -New and enhanced graphics based of the great looking miniatures from Games Workshop. -Customizable Jersey. (Darker colors aswell as black itself are missing and will most likely be unlockable content). The neutral: -Season Pass System, bringing out new races, unlockable for free after 50-ish matches and paid after 3 months. (Currently not available) The bad: -Literally thousands of bugs. These range from performance leaks, rules not working as intended, ai taking the player hostage for 10 minutes, matches disconnecting crashing and randomly disconnecting with no way of reconnecting, memory leaks and many more -Preditory and exploitative monetization scheme which requires purchase of every cosmetic piece for every player from one team at a team at a time. Which are also heavily bugged making them easily disappear from your inventory. -Missing Content like the ability to spectate, or pause an online match aswell as admin tools for a league, no proper single player mode other the Campaign which is just 18 matches with no story or progression. No end of game Statistics or a visible rank list, Star player special rules, all unlockable content which can be unlocked through natural game progression in any mode is not available and much more. No chat, only emotes, which was probably the form of communication used for developing this game. -Working factions within the files of the game like Lizardmen, Shambling Undead, Goblins, Halflings, Underworld Denizen, Wood Elfs and Necromantic Horror sitting around with some of which being completed to 100% and a few may just not seem polishing touches but are playable other than that and are accessible with a few changes of code, similar with end of game Statistics and many other features which are just chilling in the files of the game, waiting to be sold over the span of 2 years when they are already done and accessable. -Delays summing up for 3 years total with not much progression if at all from the betas over time. -Unstable release causing players of the normal edition receiving content which was intended for the brutal edition (this problem has been addressed by giving brutal edition players additional goodies). -Stupid AI that can only defeat some certain Game Journalists or put up a fight against complete new comers to the game. This is especially apparent as somebody who spent over 100 hours playing the ai in Blood Bowl 2 or as someone who is aware of the strongest ai of them all in Blood Bowl 1. -Bad and exploitative communication with consumers on all social media sites, falsely advertising the product and directly lying to most questions, especially pre-release. Some of the moderation/community management team on the Discord being unaware either unaware of how their own game works or just willingly lying, for which I am unsure what is worse. -Non functional ranking system and matchmaking. A new player with a new team can go up against a team with up to two Million TV (that means a team that is twice as strong in team rating) that has benefits that no inducements or star players could ever balance out by the sheer amount of skills the enemy team has, where it becomes difficult for the enemy to even lose unless they are intentionally hurting their own team. -Microtransactions, mandatory part of the review of how I have to point out that this game has microtransactions, a monetization methode which is always immoral, even for free to play titles. (Which this game is not) -Online Play and Offline Play are two different accounts that do not interact with another in away way whatsoever, meaning if you play the campaign online and you wish to play offline then you will notice that your team just doesn't exist. -Poor visibility and sound design, rats will become invisible on the Nurgle pitch or similar. Constant white noise from the loud crowd that can only be reduced by lowering all effects and an ear deafening intro when launching the game which challenges the volume of the main menu theme of Counter-Strike:Global Offensive, extreme bass boosted songs on SoundCloud or most construction sites. -And in general Blood Bowl 2 being a superior product any way imaginable then this one. I mean even setting the animations settings are somehow worse then in the previous with the options being to display all, none or only armor breaks, which causes the game to ONLY display armor breaks and not something in between like in the past where it didn't show non armor breaks but showed most of everything else which was the setting everybody used and liked. Making this game INFERIOR!!

This is the worst scam I have ever played in my life. Bugs, unfinished product, horrible UI or non-existent, lack of improvements from BB2 unless the graphics. A lot of features that BB2 had are lost, also I found that the game force you to pay character customization with game tokens that BB2 have for free. Voices of commentators and animations are being reused from BB2 and the game have a total lack of love, characters have only 1 idle and same poses all the time, looks like Tik Tok choreography most of the time. Somehow I complete "the campaign" (because I was able to finish 1 of 5 matches without resets and bugs) and no cinematic, no rewards, no nothing. Awful!!! I can't do the refund, but you can stay away from this BIG S***

While it is good to see there can be options for football video games, The Blood Bowl series is one of them. But Blood Bowl 3 however, has big problems like bugs and crashes that cannot be dismissed. The past titles like 1 and 2 are better than 3. So I can't recommend 3. As Blood Bowl 3 is a disappointing entry to the series.

Now, I know it does sound dramatic to give a game a 0, as it does sound like a review out of anger, but please, do try and understand the logic: This game, in the version that it is on release, has no reason to exist, as, unless you REALLY want the updates on the rules, bloodbowl 2 is an superior game, for cheaper. To say that the launch was incomplete is being kind. The game is nowhere close to finished, as gamebreaking bugs, constant crashes and server issues have made it impossible to play it, especially when early access was sold as a bonus. I do not joke that I could not complete 70% of the matches I attempted to play, either because the server just decided to break, the DRM decided that I was not online, or a perpetual loop started because a player used a skill that is currently bugged, ensuring that I would have to alt-f4 out of the game or just watch some repeating animation. The micro-transactions are.... obscene. On a game where the target audience are at least aware of the tabletop, everything that involves customization is paid for in real life money. Such includes things that WERE already included in bloodbowl 2, and now, you will have to buy them INDIVIDUALLY for each player. (Not a joke, each gear, paid with real money, is for one player only). I am still torn on the new aesthetics of the game, and with such a negative review, I will not comment on such because it is a matter of taste. If you do like a more gritty filter, it should please you. I prefer the bloodbowl colors flying high, but again, that part is taste. All in all, I do not reccomend this product, as it is unfinished, monetized offensively agressive and is a downgrade from its predescessor in almost all areas. I sincerely do know that this was not by accident, as there is no excuse for what they did. To both new and old players alike, this is worse then the worst fumble you had....

Bon déjà pour commencer j'adore ce jeu! Je l'attendais avec impatience et enfin il est arrivé, oui même après plusieurs reports qui devenait de plus en plus inquiétant pour le développement, je ne baissait pas les bras et me dire qu'on allait bientôt pouvoir y mettre les mains dessus et c'est le cas! Bon pour commencer le jeu nous offre une grosse campagne bien garnie que malheureusement je n'ai jouer seulement peu de temps, mais qui a l'air assez complet et plutôt riche pour un jeu de ce genre et qui en plus est beaucoup, énormément, extrêmement et j'en passe des adjectifs plus poussé que blood bowl 2 mais pour le moment de ce que je constate la campagne pourrait durer presque une petite dizaine d'heures ce qui n'est pas négligeable comparé a blood bowl 2 que elle ne durait que quelques heures dans mes souvenirs. Les graphismes, j'adore les graphismes de ce jeu ils sont presque à couper le souffle oui certes c'est pas réaliste comme blood bowl 2 mais c'est plus cartoon, plus vibrant et plus coloré ce qui me donne toujours plus envie de garder l'oeil à l'écran mais je sait que il y a une partie qui préfère le côté plus réaliste de blood bowl 2 mais bon il faut au moins plaires à d'autres personnes. La customisation nous promet d'être énorme à partir de la saison 1 et les saisons futures et année futures pour l'instant la customisation est très limitée comme par exemple pour l'instant nous avons seulement droit à 1 Cheerleaders ou 3 coachs ce qui n'est pas énorme pour l'instant je vous l'accorde mais tout la customisation va grandir grâce au passe de combat qui s'appelle le malepierre qui j'imagine va coûter plus de 10$ et qui va faire grincer des dents je n'en doute même pas car si vous n'achetez pas le passe de combat vous allez rester très limitée dans votre customisation du personnage, Cheerleaders, coachs, terrains, tribune etc.... Pour ce qui est de l'IA je l'avoue elle est nul mais vraiment trop nul et je peux comprendre la déception des joueurs, Cyanide nous avait promis une IA améliorée et intelligente qui serait meilleur que blood bowl 2 mais elle est franchement , elle fait de la , dans une partie que c'est à en mourir de rire, à voir si ils vont l'améliorer, dans mon scénario je pense qu'ils vont essayer de l'améliorer a travers des mise à jour mais qui ne sera jamais abouti à avoir une bonne IA, et dans mon cas à moi je m'en fous un peu de l'IA car je joue seulement avec en mode campagne et de temps en temps dans le mode ligue pour m'améliorer un peu car je préfère largement jouer avec un vrai joueur mais je peux comprendre la déception des joueurs solo en ligue. Du côté de la bande sonore c'est un délice pour mes oreilles les sons sont excellents musique très bonne et bande sonore très agréable rien à redire dessus. Encore une fois je comprends la déception des joueurs car la plupart des options quasi obligatoire pour jouer comme par exemple mettre sur pause quand on joue en ligne dans le mode ligue qui va seulement arriver à la saison 2 de l'année 1 je peux comprendre le mécontentement qui devrait y être déjà disponible à la sortie du jeu. Pour conclure c'est mon préféré blood bowl largement meilleur que le 2 selon moi avec du contenu qui devrait sortir sur le jeu pour encore plusieurs et plusieurs années ce qui fait que le jeu sera encore plus supporté et mis à jour que blood bowl 2 est une bonne nouvelle selon moi et qui permet aussi à de nouveaux joueurs de pouvoir embarqué dans cet univers car oui lui au moins permets aux nouveaux joueurs de bien pouvoir apprendre et être moins perdu que les anciens blood bowl qui était moins friendly. Et oui encore une fois je comprends la grosse déception des joueurs mais je crois au moins fermement que la plupart des trucs que les gens grognent vont être réglés et oui blood bowl 2 aussi n'était pas parfait à sortie donc je crois vraiment qu'on devrait lui accorder un peu de temps et de chances car je crois vraiment qu'il a un énorme potentiel. Donc oui foncez le prendre, au prix qu'il coûte je crois pas qu'il vaut la peine d'attendre une promotion pour ceux qu'il veulent l'essayer donc je vous dis bon blood bowl et c'est l'heure du match!!!

This game is a definition of greed multiplied by incompetence, It is a buggy unfinished mess that looks like a very early access of a free-2-play mobile game sold at full price and filled with microtransactions. R.I.P. Blood Bowl franchise

I genuinely struggle to understand, how after that much time, a team that has already two installments of almost the same game, can release such an unfinished, broken, and full of bad decisions game... If I didn't know better, judging by the abysmal quality of the game, I would assume that was made in 6 months as a school project, by enthusiastic but not yet skilled students.

Well this is painful to write. Blood Bowl is a niche and often underappreciated franchise. The last thing it needed was an insulting disaster to smear the digital IP. THE GOOD: The fundamentals/ruleset of Blood Bowl are still good raucous, fun. And it can be an engaging multiplayer exercise. When it works. THE BAD Jesus wept, where to start. With the crashes? The always online requirement leading to unbearable server load, frequent disconnects, lost data and intolerable input lag? The vast ocean of missing **** here I don't just speak of teams cut for additional content, but BASIC features that are roadmapped for 6-9 months out? The obtuse, confusing UI that was designed by either someone who had never seen a UI before or someone who'd seen many and come to hate them? The muddy graphical sidegrade? I suppose even with all of that, you could just call it a classic bungled launch, stick a pin in it, and circle around in a year when the game was on a deep discount. Assuming you weren't motivated to punish the publisher for failing to accurately market the game as early access. But the microtransactions. Oh my dear god, the microtransactions. This game makes Diablo Immortal look generous. Do you want some boots for your Pestigor? Buy them, one boot at a time, with the in game currency. But only for THAT Pestigor. Those are HIS boots. Want boots for the whole team? Get your wallet out. It might be the single most egregious, predatory, greedy implementation of paid cosmetics in the history of gaming. I say "might" because gaming has set the bar pretty low and there are a lot of mobile games I've never been exposed to. The game might be feature complete and widely playable in 2-3 years. If the microtransactions are left as is, it will still be an outrage. Avoid this gong show. I'd direct you to the second game, which is broadly identical but 1) actually works and 2) doesn't pick your pocket, but that would still be funneling money to a company that very evidently does not deserve it. Blood Bowl as a franchise deserves a robust 7-8/10. The 2 is for the negative 6 I would give the rest of this clown rodeo.
