This is the worms game I wanted as a kid. It's hard to explain but as a kid who wasn't allowed to have games with guns in them I always got away buying the worms games because of the cartoony nature. But in my little mind I always wanted it to be real time instead of turn based and honestly this brought me back. I got this as the free game of the month on the PS5 and its so funny that the game they gave away is unironically the equivalent of early XBLA game progression and all, and that was honestly part of the charm. It was just a regular old deathmatch of the mid 2000s era it rocked like I'm not sitting here thinking it's a masterpiece but this made me so like nostalgic of the 360 era and my early days with turn based worms game. All the weapons played like I wanted, I loved dressing up my worm and giving him the German accent just like I did 20 years ago, there's a holy hand grenade and a sheep bomb. It's fucking worms and that's all it had to be for me, wish there was more of a community (It's already difficult to get a game a few months after launch) which is why I'm putting it down but was such a fun little side game I can't help but have a soft spot for.
