To get the most out of this game, play it with people you know. Though you could strike it lucky with some rando's.


IDEA: Make a creature whose butt looks like the Radioactive apparatus, that sometimes hides in the generator slot of the building.

Babe, I'm sorry I left you for Blood Bowl 3, will you ever forgive me?

The level of audacity that the developers have is so ridiculous it borders on admirable.

They took an IP from one of the most predatory companies on the planet, and somehow managed to outdo them in that very same respect.

Forget being charged extortionate prices for some plastic sprues to build your army/ team with, you get the pleasure of slogging your ass off for hours to either unlock VIRTUAL decorative pieces for your VIRTUAL teams, or accumulate enough VIRTUAL currency from said slogging to buy said VIRTUAL pieces. OR you buy the season pass and life gets easier.

OH AND BY THE WAY, THEY'RE SINGLE-USE BABY!!! A single-use left shoulder pauldron (as an example) for a SINGLE team member. Yeah, you get that pauldron back if they die/ get fired, but they can ♥♥♥♥ all the way off with that. I'm surprised they didn't make them NFT's. Edit: They made it so only legendary items are single use, still not great.

MOREOVER, they dripfeed already existing teams, whose rulesets and content already exist, because Blood Bowl is a decades-old franchise, to you as seasons. There are base-game Blood Bowl 2 teams that aren't in this frigging game yet, because Cyanide/ Nacon can't just make a game, sell it, then move on. This "Seasons you say?" Yes season passes, in an extremely niche franchise that hasn't got the wider market appeal that games like COD, Fortnite or FIFA have (not that I'm saying these franchises and companies should be partaking in these practices, they don't, I hope the suits in charge get ClawPOMB'd in their groins for it, the scumbags.)

"But they need tuh mek their munny sumhow?" Yes lil' Timmy, sure they do. I bought the game, there's their money.
"But yuh dun' hav to pay fur da pass or the cosmetics?" No, I don't, but you CAN'T CUSTOMISE YOUR TEAMS OUTSIDE OF DOING THIS. ALL OF YOUR POSITIONAL PLAYERS LOOK THE SAME IF YOU DON'T CUSTOMISE THEM. As a result, you feel no sentimentality or attachment to any of your players, or the game at large. I don't give a skaven's ass if my Lv 5 Star Blitzer dies, because he looks like my Lv 1 Blitzer. There's no charm to the game any more, the appeal died when they started crippling the aesthetic of the game for the sake of squeezing money out of people.

In BB2 you could tell they were testing the waters, trying to make you buy cyan coins to buy cosmetics, but they ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up because you could earn them at a reasonably good rate and buy the cosmetics for nothing. They were sure to fix that for this installment. How dare you enjoy the game you little peasent.

And I bet you're curious, did they spruce up the game in any meaningful way to somehow add one pro in their favour, amidst an ocean of cons? No, they did what I'd estimate of 2 months (if a small team of passionate, competent professionals did it) of modelling and animation work, cut some promo cutscenes with some new dialogue, spent the rest of development fine-tuning how to monetise all the charm, forgot to add pause functionality (they seriously forgot to add it ,and added it to the roadmap for updates they sent to consumers, I genuinely couldn't believe the level of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and incompetence), and sent that sucker rolling. The bloody special editions of the game literally have some of these paywalled cosmetics as their content, nothing more.

Oh FYI, turn the announcer voiceovers off, they're the exact same as BB2. Unless you enjoy hearing the same 15 voice lines that we could all probably recite in a "Pledge of Allegiance" style due to brain rot.

Hmmm, anything else.... The game carrys out the rules relatively ok (but they're still having to fix stuff (because why release something in suitable condition eh?), and its fairly active because its the newer installment, that's all I have in the way of praise. If you're wondering why I bought this game in spite of some of my knowledge going in, I bought a CD-key for dirt cheap, and I still didn't get my moneysworth. Buy BB1, look past the UI and graphics, and actually enjoy yourself. This is an embarassment.

Great so far.

They've kept what worked the same, whilst changing + adding enough for it to be a totally fresh experience.

You may start out thinking to yourself "pfft, autoserving? That defeats the purpose of the game!", but that is not the case. It becomes immediately obvious that you have to use it, and use it alot. You have no side dishes to save you, people are immensely impatient at each stop, the only way you can feed everyone is to exploit resetting patience by beginning to cook the food they want, and by getting rid of as many people as possible so you know what you have left to cook.

The fixed menu choices + points system for each level is a bloody superb way of forcing you to mix things up (no more sliced meat spam + instant sides services for you!), you've got to find a balance of foods that aren't OTT complicated, but meet the point requirements (or you could just have all 5 point foods and showboat).

My fiancée and I are going to lose alot of hours in this game, and we are grateful for it. It's a hell of a game.

Night 3 - 12pm. My considerate colleague is telling me that it gets pretty real. Check my camera, Pirate coves is open? Thats odd.......
