I would highly recommend this game to others. It's over ten years old, but still fun and chill. We used to play this game with our cousins back in the day. Worms isn't just a game, it's a masterpiece! One day I was hiking in the mountains and asked a passing-by hiker where the peak was, and he opened his Steam mobile and showed this game.

It's a classic crowdpleaser and I must say it holds up even in 2025. It's just a bit of silly fun, and perfect for a game night with a few friends. If nothing else, it's a piece of gaming history and should be experienced even by new gamers.

A classic from my high school days. Had this cracked on my school laptop and played against my friends. Good times.

Critics, per Wikipedia
Worms Reloaded has received generally favorable reviews. On Metacritic its score is 79 out of 100, based on more than 28 critic reviews while it rank on GameRankings is 81%. GameSpot commented: "The latest entry in the long-running Worms series further refines the 15-year-old formula and is one of the best yet", giving it an 8.0. Apart from that general praise, the game has received criticism on its user interface (UI). PC Gamer called the UI "ridiculously oversized" Daemon Hatfield of IGN had said that "this is the biggest, prettiest Worms, yet". Rory Young of GameRant gave a game a mediocre score of 2.5 out of 5, praising its LAN multiplayer but criticizing its boring single player and…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very nice game. If you happen to have some minor issue with setting screen resolution - just open game folder and in WormsReloaded.exe file properties go to "Compatibility" tab. There hit "Change high DPI settings". Then in "High DPI scaling override" section select option "Override High DPI scaling behavior." (scaling performed by: Application).

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Real playtime is much higher since I played this a lot vs a friend in hotseat mode. Reloaded is very much a "back to basics" Worms title. It doesn't have the weapon variety of the classics, but I'd bet money that you never used half of them after trying them out once. The game keeps the trademark Worms British humour, which adds a lot to the singleplayer experience. I particularly enjoy the Forts DLC, but some of the others should've been free updates. For Deck/Linux users, use Proton 8.x…

neutral · AI labelView post →It's fantastic, just truly a fantastic game. I love worms so much I sold my three newborn children for three earthworms and I still don't regret my choices. I put them in a little arena each day and make them fight til they're all bloody and bruised. I love my worms and they love to fight each other, they're very into the kill or be killed mindset. Thank you worms reloaded.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good evening. This account was a one month social experiment conducted by Harvard University to promote the greatest video game of all time. Worms Reloaded. You can buy it now on Steam for $19.99, though it usually goes on sale for $3.99. It is widely considered to be Gods greatest gift. Enjoy

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love playing with my little worms.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worms Reloaded, developed and published by Team17 Digital Ltd, is a polished return to the 2D artillery-strategy formula that made the franchise beloved throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. It arrives as both a celebration of classic Worms gameplay and a modernization of it, offering sharper visuals, better performance, and a generous arsenal that blends nostalgia with new tricks. At its core, it remains a deceptively simple premise: two or more teams of cartoonish worms take turns trying to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't get it. This is the same game they've been releasing for decades, except with worse physics, fewer settings and more bugs. Couldn't even find out how to rename my "New Team". Huge disappointment.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worms Armageddon is most likely THE BEST Worms game ever made. Worms Reloaded is the second best. This is not bad at all since the franchise has accumilated 20 titles(feels like it). I dont like the modern 3D graphics and unnessessary gimmicks. Best times: imagine you live in the year 1999 and play with friends mercilessly Worms Armageddon on the SEGA Dreamcast. This has nothing to do with this game at all but i share this memory with every reader anyways.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Few video games manage to stay as relevant today as they were at the start of the decade, but Worms achieves this thanks to its distinctive graphics, simple physics, and limitless customization options. It continues to feel fresh and enjoyable even now.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →no multiplayer anymore, cant recc, however good game :D
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love Worms. It's just pure goofy, chaotic fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a curious game, at the very least. there's not much to say, honestly. it's worms. this one has a really expensive base price though, so wait for a sale to buy it. i like the art style, it's charming in a weird way to me, but some might not be the biggest fans of it. i'm not sure there's more to say about it really

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worms Reloaded feels like a downgrade from Worms World Party. WWP was peak Worms, with a huge arsenal of creative weapons, larger teams, and endless replayability. Reloaded strips much of that away. So many classic weapons are missing, team sizes are cut down to just 4 worms, and the whole game feels like a barebones version of what came before. It’s not terrible on its own, but stacked against WWP, it’s a massive step backwards.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh my god I LOVED this game!! Precursor to Worms Reloaded, this game was the GOAT. In high school this was the epitome of hot-seat gaming.
neutral · AI labelView post →Great Worms game if you are looking for a more traditional worms experience
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A cool "Worms" game! In my opinion, the interface and the worms themselves design are the best in the series. The pixelated and unstylish environment is a bit disappointing. The tutorial is kind of annoying. It's great that you can name your team and each soldier.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best Game!! 12/10 Funny! Action!! Worms :DD
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Greatest game of all time
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still one of the party game series of all time. Never vibed with the 3D entries, but all the 2D games are amazing and worth picking up for couch and online gaming.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're wondering: The timer is broken in Worms 2: Armageddon on 360/PS3, and its PC port, Worms Reloaded, and then in every game after that. It's probably broken in the PS3 version of Worms '07 as well, but I haven't tested yet. Trying to find out if it's broken in Worms 3D / 4: Mayhem.
neutral · AI labelView post →I originally bought this game years upon years ago, but I bounced off fairly quickly and ended up never giving the game a sincere shot. It took well over a decade for me to come back to Worms Reloaded. I'd decided to see what else this franchise has to offer beyond the games I've already played... and sadly, the game loses its fight against its older sibling in Worms Armageddon. In a way, Team17 have put themselves in a corner with the Worms franchise because of how well-rounded Armageddon is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Other than some donkey controls, probably one of the better worms games I've played AS OF YET! Fast, movement is nice and a great variety of weapons/utility. Great typical worms game.
