I'm surprised Worms is still for sale at all.
I played that 30 years ago.

More surprising is it's an old franchise that still has games made and hasn't suffered through being enshittified like so many others.

You’re kidding, right? There are so many weird or flat-out bad Worms sequels and spin offs. It could be a poster child for IP excess.

Worms Blast? Worms Golf? Worms Rumble?

They struck gold with Worms 2/Armageddon in 1997 and have been dining out on it ever since. The last actually good Worms game was WMD a decade ago, and that was because they returned to the old formula.

You could probably argue remaking the game every... ~5 years is unnecessary, but yea at least they've only tried to improve the game instead of adding... microtransactional worm or weapon skins or something
