missing level editor and other issues
team 17 used to make great games in the amiga days. then they discovered that people give them money even if they just re-release the same worms game every couple of years, or occasionally put out other titles with the same characters, so they've been doing that for decades now, while also venturing into other genres, as well as publishing. this one isn't entirely their work (I'm guessing it largely isn't) but not entirely alien either, as worms crazy golf is a thing. haven't played that one and I only tried single player here, not interested in multiplayer. would be okay if very basic, has a bunch of settings and game modes, but can't save mid-course progress, have to do all the holes in one sitting, absolutely unacceptable. at least the timer and shots per round limit can be turned off, but the level editor is missing from the gog version for some reason. and of course a bunch of content is sold piece by piece as dlc, for exorbitant prices. base game with 13 courses: 15 bucks. a SINGLE course as dlc: 5-9 bucks. and that's on top of all the cosmetic crap I don't care about (hats for a golf ball, gimme a break), but it's still disgusting that the whole package is now up to A HUNDRED DOLLARS, and I'm sure they're not done milking it yet, while also doing a 'sequel', presumably another dlc hell project. oh, and analytics reporting is enabled by default, even though it should be opt-in, not opt-out.
Is this helpful to you?
