What can I say - it's Worms, man. As a person with a lot of nostalgia for the older games, that's high praise.

I haven't really tried any of the Worms games since the old World Party, because looking at the reviews there just wasn't much point. I played the old ones to death (I still admire my one-worm solo games against a map filled with the hardest AI - I have no idea how I managed to consistently win), but that could only last for so long. The Hedgehogs’ version was a great replacement when the old games became, well, too old (especially as it was free and online), but it's nice to see the Worms back in action, even if the game’s strongest part is doing well what it did great ~20 years ago (the vehicles are so-so).

But to have the ability to play some good Worms in this day and age without going back to an ancient game is quite appreciated (though I guess by now this is also getting there). And as it’s on PSN, even moreso.

Not a game I'll play often, but I'm glad that it exists, and is so good at what it's doing. I won't play it often, sure, but I'll play it again and love it every time.

Part of my old gaming mindset I still struggle to shed is this self-inclifcted necessity to "finish" what I've started. Here's an excellent case in point - a Worms game I downloaded from Game Pass last summer because it checked the hyperspecific boxes I was looking for: local multiplayer with one controller. And as far as Worms games go, it was absolutely fine. It was everything I remember Worms to be, plus or minus a couple of weapons. And that's a very good reason why there's no need whatsoever for me to spend hours blowing my way through whatever semblance of a campaign mode it had. There's no story here, it's just... Worms. I scratched the itch already when I played a couple rounds with my sister last summer. That can be fine! That can be my entire experience with a downloadable video game. The more time I spend here the less I can explore other, better games on my backlog. Still coming to grips with this. Bear with me, fam!

Every time someone misses a shot, the entire friend group will disregard all of their shared history. It does not matter how close they are, or how long they've stuck with each other. They will forget all the good times they've shared together. All those comforting moments, moments of weaknesses, they all vanish from the mind. When that worm with the face of heavy from TF2 blows itself up and ends his turn, you no longer are talking to your friends in some Discord call. No. You now stare at the endless abyss. They torment you. They mock you, relentlessly. You watch helplessly as their calm voices devolve into incoherent screaming. They truly do no longer care about your mental well-being. Hell, they don't care about much at all. Just one thing: making completely sure you rue the day you missed that grenade in some dumb game about worms killing each other. Your own personal hell, and you caused it over a stupid misplay.
7/10. Friendships have been torn. Was pretty fun, though.

Nota 8

A ideia da gameplay em turno se torna incrivelmente divertida por causa da gameplay realmente muito boa! Além do estilo muito bonito e as dublagens maravilhosas.

E jogar isso em grupo é 10x mais divertido!
