Critic Reviews for Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition
While I’m sure that’s not going to be enough for those who have already played hours of Worms Armageddon or who already own it on PC (which remains the best way to play), for everyone else it’s a nice way to experience the series at its best. Hopefully, above all else, it’s a reminder to Team17 what makes Worms works so well - and it isn't when it's trying to be a battle royale.
Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition is another slam dunk for Digital Eclipse and its ongoing mission of game preservation and historical documentation. The team hasn't gone mad with any new additions or tweaks to the core experience, but when the original game remains such a bonafide classic more than 20 years after its release, it really doesn't need much tinkering with. The added bonus of the Game Boy Color version alongside a wealth of interesting interviews and archive footage make this release a perfect entry point for newcomers as well as a warm, nostalgic cuddle for veterans.
Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition is a warts-and-all revival of a game that, 25 years later, still has it where it counts, and there aren't too many titles that can make that claim.
The best version of Worms has been given new life on consoles. Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition features the gameplay you know and love, an arsenal of outrageous weapons, and a bucketload of customisation options. Throw in some museum-like extras and you have a genuine treat for fans of the comedic warfare series. It's not perfect, though, with its menus in particular being a bit of a pain to navigate at times.
For the newcomer, Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition will be brutal, especially when juxtaposed with the several-year-old Worms WMD. The re-release will be appreciated by fans of the original installment, who finally got a console release with nothing to complain about.

Digital Eclipse have set the bar pretty high with their previous collections, and here they have lowered it a little. However, they have still given us a great game in perhaps its best form yet.

The long and short of it is that Worms Armageddon is a classic, both within the Worms series and multiplayer gaming in general. While today it might seem a little barebones in terms of content, and the online multiplayer features are far too limited for a game that relies entirely on the multiplayer experience, as far as the playability goes it’s still off the charts, and one of the best games you can treat yourself to.
“Uncle Thomas, I'll have my cousins over for Christmas this year, is this a good game to buy and play with them?" - Yes, it's a good game to play with them, but if you'd like to go further, I personally find WORMS W.M.D. better, but that's up to you.
