Nov 13, 2015Blood Bowl 2 captures everything that makes the board game great and makes it available to those not willing to shell out a hundred dollars on miniatures. The passion the developers have for their game is clear to see, and the result proves that their love was not misplaced—it's easy to see that Blood Bowl 2 is one of the greatest board game translations ever.
-
Oct 20, 2015Blood Bowl 2 will require patience to learn its ins and outs, but thankfully it has a great way to teach you the ropes throughout its campaign.
-
Oct 14, 2015Traditionally tabletop games are getting more and more attention on screens, and Blood Bowl is one that benefits from the evolution.
-
Oct 14, 2015The game may not immediately show its appeal but once you get into the meat of the experience you may find yourself enamoured by this brutal fantasy sport and gaining a newfound appreciation of turn-based strategy games.
-
Oct 7, 2015A smart mixture of Warhammer strategy and American Football, BB 2 combines the nuance of turn-based skill with perceptive risk management to create a game that is equal parts joy and pain to figure out.
-
Oct 5, 2015Blood Bowl 2 gives you hilarious, but brute action. There are enough races, but less than in the previous game. The game is especially fun in multiplayer and offers a complete experience with minor flaws. Definitely a touchdown.
-
Oct 1, 2015Blood Bowl 2 appears to specific tastes, but offers a detailed and rewarding challenge.
-
Sep 22, 2015Blood Bowl 2 is a step forward. It's a much friendlier, easier game than its predecessors, with improved looks, a tutorial campaign, controller support, and the UI improvements. New players won't feel blocked off from enjoying it.
-
Oct 7, 2015It's not for everyone, but this interesting mix of American Football and Warhammer, filled with deep tactical gameplay, will keep any fan busy for hours and hours on end. Shame the graphics aren't exactly groundbreaking. And while we're nitpicking: would have been nice if we were able to read the words on the screen as well.
-
Sep 24, 2015If you can get past the long AI turns and the generally long matches, then Blood Bowl 2 is worth buying.
-
Sep 22, 2015It's Blood Bowl with a facelift and not enough to be a worthy successor to the legendary or chaos edition.
-
Oct 26, 2015With its action taking place on a playing field, the scope and structure of Blood Bowl 2 initially feels smaller in scale than you tend to expect from most turn-based strategy games.
-
Oct 6, 2015The basic principles of Blood Bowl 2 are fine, but the DLC should have been included in the original game. Still, this is a game that is a lot of fun for tactic gamers.
-
Sep 25, 2015As much strategy game as it is sports sim, this enjoyably bizarre mix of influences and genres has much to offer the more patient gamer.
-
Oct 27, 2015Fans of turn-based strategy and tabletop games will want to give Blood Bowl 2 a shot, but a muddled presentation limits the broader appeal among gamers and holds this game back from becoming a standout title.

Playstation Official Magazine UKNov 16, 2015A novel twist on traditional sports games, then, but one that's equal parts New York Giant and Jacksonville Jagu-arse. [Dec 2015, p.91]
-
Dec 7, 2015If you’re a hardcore D&D or Risk fan, you may not trip over the dice rolling and the success checks. If not, you may find yourself bobbling and dropping Blood Bowl 2 before too long.
-
Sep 28, 2015It might have been best to leave this one on the tabletop, where the wild rhythms of chance are eased by the clatter of dice.
