May 2024
Consider the following: This game is five bucks. For five bucks you get: - The gold standard of tower defense. Nobody's done it better than the original PvZ, not even PopCap themselves. - One of the greatest video game soundtracks of all time. Every single track is a bop. - A straight-forward and engaging campaign mode. Crazy Dave's got the hookups, you just focus on defending the lawn. - New Game Plus. This time around you have the full roster of plants but with three plants randomly picked for you as a bit of a challenge to encourage you to step outside your comfort zone. Genius. - Over a dozen mini-games and puzzle modes, some of which you'll probably spend many hours playing. "I, Zombie" in itself could be its own spin-off game entirely. Insane Aquarium lives here in mini-game format as well. - A zen garden to manage and grow. If you have a collector mindset, trying to get one of each plant is a fun side project. - Endless Mode. This is the true time-sink of PvZ. Obsess over optimal setups. Do you go cobless and rely on instants? Or do you nuke the front line with corn missiles? What do you do about those pesky Jack-In-The-Box zombies? These are only a few of the questions you'll be asking yourself late at night. - A character creator. Well... an extremely simple avatar-maker. "Zombitar" to be specific. It's incredibly basic, but you get to see the zombie you made appear among the horde sometimes, so that's neat. - A game that is 65MB in size and can run on every PC ever. - A charming and timeless art style. - Classic 2009 millennial humor. A magic taco? So random! - No micro-transactions, no pay-to-win mechanics, no time-gates. You spend five bucks, and you get one of the best casual-core video games ever made. They truly do not make 'em like they used to.
