Step Aside Princess Zelda, There’s Another Iconic Franchise That’s Getting Glowing Reviews

As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for nostalgia and a deep affection for the games that defined my childhood, I must admit that Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition has piqued my interest significantly. Having spent countless hours huddled around a CRT TV, strategizing and chuckling over turn-based artillery warfare, the prospect of revisiting this classic with updated graphics and modern conveniences is undeniably enticing.


In a potential twist, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom could face hidden competition, given that Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition is garnering rave reviews from critics and stirring enthusiasm among devotees of its long-lasting series.

On September 26, Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition was made available on numerous contemporary systems such as PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. This updated version is a refreshed take on the fourth installment of the series that has led to more than 20 games and spin-offs since 1995.

Among the games in the series, Worms Armageddon might just be the most culturally significant and entertaining one. It consistently appears near the top when discussions revolve around games from the Nintendo 64, PS1, and Dreamcast period, and initial criticisms suggest that the Anniversary Collection is a fitting homage to it.

As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but be captivated by Echoes of Wisdom, marking the first Zelda adventure where the princess takes center stage in September releases. Interestingly enough, Nintendo Life was among the early voices to express their admiration for the Worms remaster, commending it as a perfect representation of what fans have been yearning for.

According to Ollie Reynolds in his Nintendo Life review, Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition is another successful hit for Digital Eclipse as they continue their work in safeguarding classic games and chronicling gaming history.

The game isn’t just loaded with content; it also offers a remastered version of the initial Armageddon, plus the Game Boy Color adaptation. Moreover, upon release, it came bundled with an extensive digital museum filled with interviews and archived footage. This museum serves to enrich the experience for new players by providing them with historical context about what the original game represented when it debuted in 1999.

As I compose this, the game hasn’t received a rating on Metacritic yet. However, with an increasing number of reviews coming in, there’s a possibility we could be dealing with a hidden gem. Could it be Game of the Year? It might seem far-fetched, but it certainly points to promising prospects for fans of this series in the future.
