What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $2.24. That was June 2015. 110 discounts in the 13 years on record. They run about 80 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 15 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 20 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 66 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 80 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Worms Revolution ($14.99, scores 74) beats it on value, while it beats Worms World Party Remastered ($14.99, scores 0).
Critics scored it 66. Players sit 23 points higher at 89 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
Steam's global achievement data says about 3 percent of players ever finish it. On a 7.2-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. Of the 544 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 17 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 64 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 75 percent of the 1,056 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 25 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 7.2 hours; clearing it takes 23, which is 3.2 times the campaign.

What players say
Great to play with friends. Its just the right level of chaos that I expect from a game in the series
One of the biggest games of my childhood. It holds up great today too. It's hilarious to play with friends.
Repolished PS2 Game my Brother and I spent many Hours on. If only the Controller Functions wouldn't bug for me. Also kinda dissapointed that some spoken Languages got removed or that the Cutscenes in Story Mode are actually spoked in English and not in iconic "Mi-Mi". :( Still an good 7/10 so far
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Worms Ultimate Mayhem scores 63/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/70600/worms-ultimate-mayhemThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 16, price as of Sep 24.
