    Worms Crazy Golf combines classic Worms mechanics with mini-golf gameplay, offering a mix of fun and challenge through various courses and power-ups. While some players appreciate the nostalgic elements and creative level design, others criticize the gameplay for being slow, simplistic, and marred by frustrating mechanics like the charge bar.

    • “The gameplay strikes a great balance between accessibility and depth.”
    • “With simple but customizable golf playing mechanics, you putt your balls through some endearing 2D cartoony worlds and imagery.”

    • “Not fond of the charge bar mechanic, and that's basically 99% of this game.”
  • graphics
    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

However, some users noted issues such as glitches and optimization problems, as well as a window size that detracts from the experience.

  • humor
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “It's a refreshing take on golf that embraces the lighthearted, humorous spirit of the Worms series.”
    • “Surprisingly good and funny, and I don't even like golf; I got 30 hours out of this (completed every achievement).”
  • music
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally described as decent and fitting for the scenarios, providing a relaxing atmosphere, though some players find it repetitive and not particularly catchy over time. While the soundtrack complements the game's charming graphics and enhances the overall experience, it may not stand out as memorable. Overall, it serves its purpose well, contributing to a polished and enjoyable gameplay experience.

    • “Even though the soundtrack isn’t super catchy, it’s decent enough to not be distracting and fits each scenario quite well.”
    • “The soundtrack is just so soothing it's impossible for me not to have fun.”
    • “For what it is, it’s highly polished, with great optimization, visuals achieving a fantastic level of detail, music complementing the theme of each course, and solid gameplay mechanics that deliver consistency as well as playability.”
    • “Achievements and challenges are rather annoying to get, music is terrible and I couldn't find a grip for normal gameplay either, even in local co-op (and the campaign is not even that long).”
    • “+ Music and sound effects are repetitive.”
    • “Graphics are neat and very accurate, but the music can be boring in the long run, while the sound effects are pretty cool.”
  • replayability
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers moderate replayability, primarily through various challenges and multiplayer support, which enhance the experience for players seeking to complete all content. While some users find the replay value satisfactory, others consider it somewhat limited, suggesting a mixed reception overall.

    • “There are different challenges that improve replayability.”
    • “It does provide a good challenge and gives the game some replay value as far as single player is concerned.”
    • “There's a lot of replay value and there's more than enough challenge.”
    • “The $10 asking price isn’t too bad considering the replay value is there with multiplayer support, and if you want to complete all the holes 100%, it will take a good amount of time.”
    • “It might have some form of replay value, but it is rather humble in that area.”
    • “There's a lot of replay value, and there's more than enough challenge.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story features a satirical take on late-stage capitalism, incorporating deep worldbuilding and a cyberpunk aesthetic, while blending humor and philosophical themes. Although it feels more like an expansion of existing golf-themed missions rather than a standalone narrative, it remains enjoyable for fans of both the Worms series and golf games.

    • “Late stage capitalism politics, corporation bad, 'video game metaphor', deep worldbuilding and lore, cyberpunk aesthetic, story rich, good characters, cute, funny, wholesome, philosophical, deep, meaningful.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization is generally solid, with menus and course restarts loading efficiently. However, players have reported significant performance drops, particularly to 14 fps, when utilizing the ball spinning mechanic, indicating a need for improvement in that specific area.

    • “Without using this skill, the game runs smoothly, but when I want to direct the ball using spinning, the game drops down to 14 fps.”
    • “In addition to the lack of online multiplayer, the only thing I would criticize is the optimization during the spinning of the ball.”
    • “Furthermore, in terms of performance, while it can suffer from a hiccup every now and then, the menus and frequent course restarts load and run decently well.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and boring, with the pursuit of achievements serving as a limited incentive. Collecting all 29 achievements may only appeal to the most dedicated gamers, as the experience is likened to the monotony of real golf without engaging elements.

    • “It's just tedious, really.”
    • “The game features achievements, which is a great incentive to play, but collecting all 29 of them will probably prove too tedious for all but the most dedicated gamers.”
    • “As boring and tedious as real golf without the alluring violence of worms.”

While the graphics are generally vibrant and enjoyable, these technical problems detract from the overall experience.
