You heard it here first: Mario Party is for scrubs, and Jackbox, well, Jackbox is pretty fun. But Worms is where it's at—the 2D tactics game might have started on the Amiga, but it's long been a multiplayer standard on PC where Team17 has pumped out sequels for three decades as of 2025. It's celebrating the occasion with a series-wide Steam sale where many of its best games can be bought for two or three dollars.
Though in my view, the patrician's choice would be Worms WMD, which is going for $4.49. It's free of the meddlesome gimmicks that overcomplicate other modern Worms games, while packing a slicker feel and a more modern look than the first few games. If you prefer the classics, Worms Armageddon and Worms Reloaded remain the other 2D fan-favorites, going for $2 and $3, respectively.
Worms creator Andy Davidson also had plans to create his own "1.5" version of Worms: The Director's Cut complete with improvements and a selection of custom levels, as he discussed in a post on X last year. Its release would have coincided with the anniversary celebrations, but Davidson shared on X in July that progress on the project slowed down after his mother passed away. He also explained that "going back to 30 year old code has proved trickier than I thought. But I’m making steady progress again, and will update you all soon."
