Blood bowl 2 is a intresting game. It may on the surface look like medieval football but it is far different then that. This and the original is based on a board game from the 80s that had a small cult following.The game plays more like a turn based strategy game where instead of building army's you manage a football team but the focus is more on taking out the other teams players. Instead of quarters you take turns moving players around the field and rolling dice to attack the other team. Also the game takes place in the warhammer universe so expect many races of humans orcs, etc. If I had to compare this game to anything I would call this game fire emblem warhammer mutant leauge head coach football, along with a little Mario Party style randomness sprinkled in to it. Other wise the game is pretty fun as long as your not expecting a fast pased game.

Graphics 7/10- not the prettiest current gen game out there but there's nothing wrong here with the graphics either everything for me ran smooth and the tackle/ko animation s are pretty cool as well 

Sound 7/10- again the sound is ok at best the announcers have a lot to say but you will be hearing them repeat themselves a lot during matches. The rest of it consists of fans in stadiums and grunts and groans 

Addictiveness 9/10- Agian if you want a game that makes you use your noggin and use strategy to get a touchdown which is very hard to do but very reliving then you will have a hard time putting the controller down I just recently got a ps4 and have been stuck at work most of the time but this is my most played game so far 

Story 7/10- I haven't really touched to Mich of story mode it's very rare for a football game to have on but it serves more of a tutorial for new players 

Depth 10/10- There's a lot of Depth to this game you have to level up your team unless your in friendly match mode and every move you do could be costly if you spend a lot of time leveling up a star player they can be permanently killed off then you can never get them back makes multiplayer very intense 

Difficulty- This game is easy to learn but hard to master I'm still working on good formations and if it wasn't for the randomness of dice rolling I would say the difficulty would be fair. Also the AI is very difficult even on easy mode 

Overall 8/10- Overall this game is very good more so if your a real time strategy person but if you don't like slower paced games I wouldn't recommend it if you want something different and unique (except for the original) then I would pick this up. Also note I think the game already has lots of dlc planes for it love it or hate it with that in mind I think fans of the board game blood bowl, turn based strategy games, and some football fans who want a unrealistic football game should enjoy this 

I had no idea it was based off of a board game!

I'm a huge strategy fan, and naturally a board game fan because of that. I like what you had to say, and I'm actually going to check it out!

You had given your review a solid introduction, giving great details of where it was from and how it looks like. Too bad you cut this great structure with much shorter sentences in the core. What makes the graphics "not the prettiest?" Could you compare this game to Dungeons and Dragons?

It's funny that you brought up the board game. I didn't realize that it was based off of that, which is funny because a friend of mine had that game and me and friends would play it from time to time. Was a pretty fun game! I wonder if he still has it...lol

Anyways I saw this game for sale on Steam, and it got kinda mixed reviews. Although I am a fan of football I feel like I probably wont pick up this game unless I get it on sale for super cheap.

Good job on the review though, I enjoyed reading it!
