Blood Bowl 2

Blood Bowl 2 is a smashy, satisfying, irreverent combat-sports melee that leaves just a bit too much of the outcome up to the six-sided dice. The inclusion of some seemingly unfinished playable races is a definite stumble, but a campaign with spectacular presentation and deep, crunchy multiplayer league options blitz this game into the endzone.

If you feel that modern games have become rather too similar, then Blood Bowl 2 might pique your interest: there’s certainly no mistaking it for anything else. Conceptually, it requires its audience to possess a wide streak of geekiness, since it somehow manages to combine American Football and Warhammer, complete with orcs, dwarves and the like. And as if that wasn’t unfashionable enough, it’s also turn-based. Which is only to be expected, since it was derived from a Games Workshop board game.
