What players say

Best worms game. Cool campaign, lots of side puzzle missions, fun weapons, fun crafting, fun collabs, great destruction mechanics, funny cutscenes, solid AI, lots of worm costumes. Nothing really negative to say here, you get exactly what is advertised but with more content than you'd expect. I played mostly on console and bought the game on PC too.
