The Games Machine
By Marco RavettoLegend Bowl is a game with some strengths and just as many flaws. Its retro look is exquisite, but the gameplay has some issues that can cause a certain sense of annoyance and frustration.

By Bruno GalvãoAlthough the aesthetics suggest something in the style of Tecmo Bowl and an arcade experience, Legend Bowl is an unexpected bet on simulation, which uses its 16-bit look for a mixture of nostalgia with well-established feet today. Despite being able to amuse those who notice the NFL or want to dedicate the time to learning, with the focus on statistics and simulation, it still lacks some refinement and improvements to become what you really want to be. Maybe in a sequel.

By Junior OnunkwoLegend 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. On top of that is the low price you’re required to pay for such a great quality video game. The only negative I can discuss is that it doesn’t have an online mode. It’s nice to play with friends, but what if you’re the only one to have this game? This is one reason why an online feature would’ve benefited greatly.

By Justin NationWhile you can see the potential in front of you for a great mix of throwback football gaming the difficulty can be tough to muscle through

By Matthew PolleselIt’s a pity that the football part of Legend Bowl is so underwhelming. The ideas here are good, and the developers deserve credit for making a game that feels both modern and retro at the same time, but if you’re looking for a football game where you’ll actually want to play the on-field game, this isn’t it.
