As the sequel to one of the most beloved casual games from its time, Plants vs Zombies 2 had big shoes to fill.
I originally played the game back when I got my first smartphone and I ended up dropping it because of the frustrating energy system and paid plants.
10 years later and gaming has deterioted so much that I don't care anymore. Also, the main campaign can be played offline so what the heck?
I think the game is pretty good for the most part. I wouldn't recommend playing it over the first because it's a vastly different experience. The gameplay is more fast paced and sun is more abundant, making symmetry a liability and enabling the use of far more plants, especially instants, at the detriment of most cheap, early game attackers.
The game is divided into worlds, each with a different theme that adds some variation to both the visuals and the gameplay. I think the latter worlds are unnecesary long, but besides that I think it's all good. I think I wouldn't mind recommending the story mode.
However, as I hinted at before, this game is poisoned honey. Besides the campaign there are 2 other game modes, both online only and requiring heavy investment of either money or hours.
I can't fully recommend this game knowing that it's like a church next to a brothel, but the main campaign is pretty good. Just avoid the pay-to-play arena and Penny's time-gated bulletsponge extravaganza.
