Blood Bowl 3

Blood Bowl 3

Put on your cleats, buckle on your helmet, adjust your shoulder pads and breast plate… and (discreetly) tuck a sharp dagger into your belt.

War disappeared in the Old World when the inhabitants decided to resolve their differences by playing the god Nuffle’s sacred sport: Blood Bowl. And yet it is no less bloody than the battlefields it has replaced. Murder, mutilation, cheating, corruption, sorcery and even divine intervention come one after another on the pitch, to the delight of everyone watching!

  • Merciless, not brainless – Take charge of a team from amongst the 12 available races, each with unique characteristics, and stop your opponents from advancing by carefully positioning your players. Dodge or mercilessly eliminate whoever gets in your way and reach the end zone to score the decisive touchdown! Naturally, the best strategists should have an edge, but… who knows? A rampaging troll might eat a teammate and change the course of a match.

  • You’re the boss – Create your team, recruit your players, customize their appearance, emblems and armour, recruit cheerleaders and a coach, then take part in the most ferocious competitions in the Old World. But beware: injuries are commonplace, and it’s more than likely that some of your players will be carried off the field in a body bag, bringing a definitive end to a once-promising career…

What’s new in Blood Bowl 3

  • Based on the official rules of the latest edition of the board game, with new skills and overhauled passing mechanics

  • 12 races to choose from including, for the first time in a Blood Bowl video game, the Black Orcs, the Imperial Nobility, the Old World Alliance and the Chaos Renegades

  • Fields with special game rules to vary the types of match

  • New customization options for your coaches, cheerleaders, teams and every piece of armour worn by your players

  • A solo campaign open to all races

  • An improved competitive mode with new league management features and an official ladder

  • A flexible timer so you are free to organize practice sessions between experienced and rookie players

The brand-new solo campaign

An agent has noticed your skills as a coach and decided to finance you and your team, so you can participate in a new Blood Bowl event: the Clash of Sponsors. Will you be able to demolish your opponents and win over the spectators?

  • Play with the race of your choice

  • Take on teams sponsored by the most influential parties in the Old World

  • See how you stack up against star players who are now the faces of major brands, including the legendary Griff Oberwald

  • You will be able to use the team you built during the campaign in any other game mode.

Competitive modes with endless possibilities

In addition to the campaign and friendly matches against other players or the AI, Blood Bowl 3 has a brand-new competitive mode which lets you compete against players of all levels, from around the world:

  • Competitive seasons with an official ladder

  • Players can join a league, with new management options and the possibility of creating and configuring your own tournaments the way you want (stadiums, pitches, timing, races, etc.)

  • Regular challenges with temporary game modes

If I only had one word to describe this game, it would be… wow!

This is on my list of best VR games of all time. It is very similar to some of the D&D-based board games. You control a miniature and you get two actions per turn — move, attack, play card (although some cards can be played without using an action). You can be one of four classes. While the game mechanics are simple, game play requires strategic thinking (and cooperation when playing multiplayer). Game difficulty is just right. It’s challenging. This is not an easy game and you can definitely get yourself into a bad spot, but it’s not impossible. AI is pretty simple. It seems like for the most part it attacks the closest character within sight, but has a chance to do something unexpected which forces you to change your strategy and keeps the game interesting. This game is fun in single player, but really shines in multiplayer. Enemy difficulty is scaled for the number of players. Experience and loot — gold and chests — are given equally to each member of the party, so there is no fighting over who gets to open a chest or who picks up a gold pile. Graphics are gorgeous and the game atmosphere is fantastic. Sounds and music are excellent as well. I also have to say this game has the best tutorial of any game I ever played. It is engaging and not patronizing.

TLDR: If you have friends to play with, get this game, it’s worth it.

I’ve been playing this game with two other people, we played the first level over and over with every combination of 3 heroes possible. We were clamoring for the new map and then it dropped. We were able to barely squeak out a victory against the rat king the first time. Every single time after that we’ve been absolutely destroyed by the mechanics and various bugs. While we are happy that the game got harder, we just wish a couple of the mechanics were tweaked or that each pack has a difficulty rating. The rat king one being extra hard.

Mainly writing this because I disagree with what the majority of the negative reviews are saying, as someone who cranked out 40 hours of gameplay (split quite evenly between online and offline play) and who completed games on the hardest difficulty level. While I have ideas on what should contribute to a negative review, which will come later in the review, but let’s start by tackling the points I disagree with in the negative reviews.

I believe RNG gets the majority of the blame because a random event occurs at the beginning of every turn, and at every new planet, so it’s pretty much in your face all the time.

This game has the potential to be very fun. Myself and a few friends brought it and really enjoyed the game initially. But we quickly realised that this game is too hard, and not even hard in way that challenges you properly. We have been playing on mild difficulty, since the upper difficulty was seemingly impossilbe.

The game is hard beyond the player’s control, since much of the game mechanics are the result RNG. 90% of the RNG is bad! You receive negative effects that can see you wiped out very quickly. For example, we upgraded our shields to the max very early on, but in response, we started taking much more damage from RNG events.

Stolen Realm

Stolen Realm

This game is still in early access. There are lots of bugs and quirks, but the game is being regularly updated with bug fixes and new mechanics.

Do you like Dungeons and Dragons? Do you like turn based strategy games? Do you like to kill stuff? If you said yes to any of these questions, then this game may be for you.

Make a character. Go on quests to kill stuff. Level up and obtain sweet loot. These are the basics of this game.

With 8 skill trees to choose from, each with their own unique abilities, you can make your character just the way you want them to be. The best part? You can mix and match skills from any tree you want, whenever you want (so long as you have the skill points to do so). Wanna be a sneaky rogue who does lots of crits? You got it. Wanna be a fire wizard who sometimes casts ice spells? You can do that too. Do you want to make 20 attacks in one turn, each one applying a debuff that causes your target to take increased damage from all subsequent attacks? Its gonna take some effort (and a lot of luck), but it is completely possible, thanks to the skill tree!

It’s a diablo3/PoE style aarpg with divinity/baldurs gate/wasteland turn based party combat, and it does both fantastically well. I find myself respeccing characters constantly because the skill tree is so much fun to experiment with. You select the difficulty scaling whenever you want which can scale as high as you want or as low as you want, with the rewards reflecting accordingly. Will be looking closely at future content and patches for this game.
