V Rising vs Worms Ultimate Mayhem: which should you buy?

For Filipino buyers, the choice between V Rising and Worms Ultimate Mayhem depends largely on your PC specs and preferred genre. V Rising (released May 2024) is a modern action-adventure MMO with single-player, multiplayer, and co-op modes, averaging 7 hours of playtime. It demands a 64-bit system, 12GB RAM, and a dedicated GPU like GTX 750 Ti or better, which may strain older budget PCs common in the Philippines. It is only available on Steam for PC. Worms Ultimate Mayhem (2011) is a classic turn-based strategy game with local split-screen and multiplayer, averaging only 2 hours. Its requirements are much lower (2GB RAM, any GPU with 512MB VRAM), making it playable on even older machines.

Which game is better for local co-op play?
