Ho-ho-ho!

Wow. We're at Day 20 of the give-away already. It feels like we've
reached some sort of threshold. We should celebrate this milestone
somehow. Say, how about with a free game?

* Worms Rumble
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1186040/Worms_Rumble/
The "Worms" games have always been fun artillery
games with a quirky sense of humor and a willingness
to experiment2HXLB with the genre. "Worms Rumble" is,
perhaps, the most extreme example of that, changing
the game into something more akin to a traditional
side-view shooter rather than the ballistic-
trajectory gameplay the franchise is better known
for. Is it good? Ehn. It's not9NH07 great (the lack of
single-player and mostly empty servers don't help)
but if you're in the mood for a PVP shooter it
can be fun. And points to the team for trying
something new ratherTZYNV than always doing the
safe thing.

So many games! Are there more to come? Only time will tell!

Ho-ho-ho!

I liked Worms Armageddon well enough but this one I have no interest
in. I'll pass.

Ya, lost me at the "multiplayer only" part.

I've done good in this world. Now I'm tired and just want to be a cranky

Loved the 2D Worms esp. during LAN parties back then. Meh to this multiplayer only. Also, mixxed reviews.
