Worms Rumble

SCORE: 65

I am so thankful Peter has Xbox Game Pass and we were able to play Worms Rumble for free on the Xbox Series X. This game is a nine gig download. Man that is huge. By the way were you one of the cool kids that was watching the live stream I did of Worms Rumble? There are physical cases for Worms Rumble but some say there is cartridge with the case and it is a download code only. I am a bit iffy on the physical copy status of Worms Rumble on certain systems.

Worms Rumble has some large maps in it. I am very impressed with how large the maps are. There is a tutorial that will teach players how to generally play Worms Rumble. The large maps can work against Worms Rumble though. My very first match I played in a Team Rumble and never found a player on the other team. I did not get eliminated nor did I eliminate anyone. It was pretty boring actually. Thankfully I was on a team that won that match even though I did nothing to help them.

The match making in Worms Rumble is horrendous. I played multiple matches where I started as level one and ended as level four. I was pitted against players that had maxed out at level fifty. Guess who won those matches? The level fifty players were winning over and over again. Guess who was killing me over and over again? If you guessed the level fifty players then you would be completely right. Of course other leveled players took me out as well from time to time. Some of them traded with me - meaning we killed one another at the same time.

Worms Rumble is a 2D side scrolling battle royale or team royale game where we can move pretty fast. We point which direction we will shoot whatever gun we happen to have. I loved dying, respawning and trying to go find a decent weapon. Sometimes I did and sometimes I died before finding one. I had very little fun playing Worms Rumble. I am sure if I were willing to put in the hours I could have fun with Worms Rumble. Since the match making is so broken Worms Rumble rewards players who have been playing longer. Noobs need not apply.

There are a plethora of ways to destroy an opponent in Worms Rumble. We can shoot them with guns, blow them up with grenades, and there are hazards in the levels that can kill us too. Learning the maps takes time since they are so large. The holy hand grenade is my personal favorite weapon found in treasure chests. I actually took someone out with one and earned a rather rare achievement.
