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.
