But when it doesn't, when a pass is intercepted by someone nowhere near it, or when you realize basic features like crossplay and the special rules for star players are being saved for Season 3, it's impossible to keep faith in. The many problems BB3 had in both multiplayer and singleplayer were galling because it's still quite fun when it works. I once saw it freeze while trying to figure out whether to follow up after smacking a ball-carrier, waiting until both the turn timer and a full 7.30 minutes of bonus time ran down before the match continued. Oddly, it also sometimes paused for long stretches while deciding what to do next. (Which makes it harder to notice that the AI will sometimes choose the worst die when given the option.) The interface moved on from kickoff events and prayers too fast for you to keep up, and did the same when choosing block dice. These are all things Blood Bowl 2 has, and Blood Bowl 3 suffers in comparison to its older sibling. Even singleplayer matches can't be resumed if you quit partway through.
It launched with features missing, but had a roadmap for three seasons' worth of battle passes and a modestly well-stocked in-game cosmetics shop.Īmong the things it lacked were admin tools for running leagues, stat-tracking, player models that change to reflect their mutations, and a way to reconnect after a dropout. Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower (2021)Ĭyanide's third attempt at Blood Bowl was hobbled by the 2020s trend of making everything a live-service game with seasonal content. Bugs and floaty controls may be fixable, but how boring Tempestfall is? Probably not. Get past them and you'll find batches of samey skeletons and ghosts appearing in designated combat arenas, which are separated by designated exploration zones with glowing collectibles, and NPCs stiffly waving their arms while droning exposition. It's a bit janky all over, with doors getting stuck halfway and the bits where you squeeze through a tight passage or climb down a rope occasionally glitching you off into space. Those weapons lack heft though, making combat feel like you're waving a Wiimote rather than a magic axe. You summon weapons-sword, axe, and staff-by gripping your fists, cast spells by squeezing a trigger while waving, sweeping, and pointing them, and then go to town on the undead of the Nighthaunt. A VR action game where you're a lord-arcanum of the Stormcast Eternals, basically a lightning wizard in heavy armor.
