Legend Bowl is the retro football game the old heads and new breeds deserve and I’m glad it finally made it to consoles. I had so much fun playing matches and tournaments, and the game’s customisation is truly amazing and one of the best I’ve used.
Junior Onunkwo · Aug 12, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full reviewLegend Bowl is a game packed with charm; an interesting hybrid of retro style and attempts at Madden-esque depth in the playbook and mechanics. It's full of heart and raises a smile with its humour and attention to detail; sadly it doesn't convert all of these positives across the board. Performance is improved following patches but still has space to get better, while some odd design and UI choices are hard to ignore.
Thomas Whitehead · Aug 09, 2023 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewThe structure in place here is encouraging though and I hope Legend Bowl has a future as the football video game landscape is dire, especially on Switch. Refining the gameplay or deepening gameplay options and tutorials could go a long way into making this an arcade classic. To bake in a relevant sports metaphor, this game is like the first season after moving on from a franchise legend. You could wind up with a losing first season but end up with a first-ballot Hall of Famer when their career is over. Or this could turn out to be a bust and get the head coach fired. Only time will tell because there is a lotta ballgame left.
Neal Ronaghan · Aug 09, 2023 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewIn the end, it just feels a little too complicated and unforgiving to enjoy the simple presentation from yesteryear in front of me. Or maybe retro gaming is now a young man’s game. The looks, the sounds, the modern control use, the light touches of humor, Legend Bowl really does deliver on the past. It just doesn’t do enough to make the past match my nostalgia for it. Hopefully for you, it does.
Todd Eggleston · Aug 09, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full reviewLegend Bowl is one for the diehard football nerd. Whether you are looking for a quick game with friends or looking to study a screen full of statistics like it was Money Ball, this is a jam-packed football experience crammed full of content, customization, and engaging gameplay. If you’re burnt out on the bigger offerings and their micro-transactions, then Legend Bowl is a sports game with plenty of value.
Jahanzeb Khan · Aug 09, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full reviewLegend Bowl is a fantastic retro-infused football game with a host of fan-friendly ideas that truly shows the passion of its one-man development team.
Dominic L · Aug 09, 2023 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewFor a game that looks like Legend Bowl, you’d be forgiving for thinking this was just a throwaway American Football arcade game. The truth is, there is as much depth here as the modern Madden games, without all the unnecessary bumph of barely distinguishable modes that EA are obsessed with adding in.
Richard Dobson · Aug 09, 2023 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full reviewLegend Bowl è un titolo con alcune pregi e altrettanti difetti. Il suo look retrò è squisito, ma in partita si notano alcune incertezze nella struttura di gioco che possono causare un certo senso di fastidio e di frustrazione. Discreto il comparto opzioni, che poggia buona parte del suo peso sulla modalità Franchise, e che non presenta alcuna variante online.
