Worms Armageddon on PS5 is a hard one for me to review. Team 17 was nice enough to send me a copy to check out, and I love those guys for hooking me up with a game I loved playing during my childhood. I spent countless hours with my friends blowing each other up as little worms and laughing at the silly noises they made, or as they put on little bandanas before punching each other off a cliff.
It’s hard for me because the game looks better than ever. It truly has also never sounded better. Each worm is now rendered in great detail, and their voices are immaculate. The battlefields now look like I imagined they did as a kid and a young adult, when we had epic battles, and we laughed as my friends’ final worm would find itself on the receiving end of a perfectly timed sheep bouncing into a hole he dropped into thinking it was salvation.
It is hard because the game just is not fun. Playing with my kids, some the same age I was when I found this game amazing, really drives home how much I have changed as a gamer. My 8-year-old finds it hilarious, if not a bit frustrating, and my 20-year-old thinks it’s a nice way to kill time; however hates the controls. At my age, the game just isn’t what nostalgia remembers it as. The game is still a 7/10 experience, graphically, functionally, and all the game is what you would expect. But beware, if nostalgia is what you are looking for, you may not get what you are thinking.
