When EA Sports announced that FIFA 21 would be getting an upgrade on PS5 — which is free if you already own the PS4 version — we kept our expectations low.

Mini Review Worms Rumble (PS5) - Simple But Successful Spin-Off Proves the Series Has Wriggle Room
A new species
The Worms franchise has more or less stayed the same across its 25-year history, so it was due a shake-up.
