Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I only not recommend it if it's your FIRST worms game, you should probably get armageddon first and then jump on this one, i personally love having both, they are both great in their own way and both are very local co-op friendly (armageddon also has online multiplayer included in the base game)
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Get the fan patch however, because the game is so abandoned by Team17 that I find it surprising that the multiplayer still functions.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A lot of weapons that are very hard to master, will make new players even more mad (which, once again, is not a bad thing in my opinion, because it makes gameplay more deep).
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While single-player content like challenges and missions can be fun to check out and beat, the main treat of these games is to battle other teams of worms in turn-based combat.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I personally enjoyed the main plot, mainly because I didn’t expect much of it I got what I expected.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The environments appear sharper, lighting and textures have been cleaned up, and the overall presentation feels more cohesive than in the original releases.
