    This game is absolutely rubbish, bad AI bad UI, micro transactions items are things that should come with the game and not be paid for.

    The AI doesn’t make any effort to play and just lets the clock run down which is infuriating and the commentators repeat the same thing over and over which makes you want to pull yours ear off. Graphic wise it’s very good but I would not recommend    This game is absolutely rubbish, bad AI bad UI, micro transactions items are things that should come with the game and not be paid for.

    DO NOT BUY THIS GAME - AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

    Absolute dogs**t! Dropfeeding rest of the teams for 4 years? Reconnect after being thrown out on the future road map? Which happens a lot. Lots of bugs. This could’ve been so much better, now it’s unplayable.

    This is a buggy mess of a game currently. I actually sought a refund from XBOX for it even. The UI is absolutely awful and made it nearly impossible to complete the simpilest of moves. There's a countdown clock now for moves, which is nice, but the sluggish and awful UI make it nearly impossible to actually finish your turn before the time runs out and your overarcing bonus times startsThis is a buggy mess of a game currently. I actually sought a refund from XBOX for it even. The UI is absolutely awful and made it nearly impossible to complete the simpilest of moves. There's a countdown clock now for moves, which is nice, but the sluggish and awful UI make it nearly impossible to actually finish your turn before the time runs out and your overarcing bonus times starts counting down too. The animations are great, when they work. The camera control I find awful and annoying and far too close. I like to play with an overall view of the field/gameboard, and there's no way to get there. I love me some Blood Bowl, but I'll stick with the actual game for now I guess.… Expand

    Buggy mess that is nearly unplayable. A large number of skills (e.g shadowing) are completely bugged and don’t work. The UI is almost impossible to use on console due to changes and poor joystick acceleration (e.gI can’t get the inspect icon over players skills - which in BB2 I could do easily with the Dpad) and it’s very hard to select and move players accurately.

The online options take over 5 minutes to load a league name (including quick play comp) and the game seems to use the server for every action so navigating the UI involves constant loading. The monetisation system is a joke with single use cosmetics for predatory amounts of money…. Half of which are bugged and blank on the store anyway. Skip it. Or at least wait 12 months. What a shocker.… Expand

    Blood Bowl III has nothing here to recommend it for newcomers or veterans of the board game when there is a more complete package available in its predecessor.

    Blood Bowl 3 was lackluster at launch due to many problems, but the core gameplay was solid and could be fun once you got past all of the issues that will hopefully be fixed shortly in the future with some patches. Most of the aforementioned issues can be patched later, but the version I played on felt like it did not change much from its prequel.

    It frustrates me that I have to leave Blood Bowl 3 with a middling review, but despite the solid core gameplay, everything around it frustrates me too much for me to continue playing. These issues may be fixed in the future, but at the moment I struggle to recommend this game to fans of Warhammer, strategy, or possibly even the more hardcore Blood Bowl fan.
