Blood Bowl 3 may have only just been released, but it's already getting a kicking on Steam.
Cyanide Studio's latest instalment comes eight years after Blood Bowl 2, but it seems as though some players don't think it's been worth the wait.

It's not all bad, though – 27 per cent of players have given it a thumbs up, but even then, the positive reviews often come with caveats, like this one:
