I have no issues when playing it other than Super Brainz being a bit too overpowered, but he definitely will be balanced in a near update like Nightcap. The game is obviously going to get updates like the first two games, so that’s good.… Expand

   It’s actually good, but it really needs polishing and character balancing

   Alright, this is going to be a review that picks apart every flaw of this train wreck of a game, so buckle your seatbelts.
   
   So let me startAlright, this is going to be a review that picks apart every flaw of this train wreck of a game, so buckle your seatbelts.
   
   So let me start off by saying I've sunk hundreds of hours into the previous PvZ GW titles, with that out of the way, let's get onto the review.
   
   On the surface, this game seems to be a clear upgrade from the previous two, better graphics, more classes, a revamped upgrade system... and that dreamy expectation holds up for about the first 10 seconds after you get into the main game. The only thing I legitimately enjoyed about this new game was the improvement in graphics, which was the reason I am giving this game a 2/10 instead of a flat zero.
   
   The other mechanics are a complete disaster to say the least, with some of the new classes being unplayable and the ability revamps rendering others useless. The balance at launch was so ####ing bad that I took a break from the game for several months before even attempting to come back to it for round two, desperately wanting a big balance patch to make the zombie side support and utility characters goddamn playable. The balance patch eventually came in the form of a wizard character, which is locked behind either a paywall or several hours of grinding. But this is not the 'fun' type of grind that was required to get the 2 secret characters in the previous in GW2, this is monotonous collection of coins for an absolutely broken character that was a last-minute effort to please the fanbase. You can probably already see how bad the balance is, so let's move on to some other failed promises and problems.
   
   A lot of people have been talking about the removal of the character variants in a negative tone and I completely agree, the reason being that the variants were some of the best parts about the previous games, and removing them in choice of a poorly fleshed-out point-based system of upgrades was a downright terrible idea. The variants are what made Garden Warfare FUN, and that little boost of enjoyment every time a new character was added to your arsenal was one of the best feelings I've had in a game in basically forever. Another terrible mistake EA and Popcap made was breaking all the characters instead of keeping them where they were, examples being citron and scientist, as well as a slew of others. All these ability and utility changes completely ruined the gameplay with these characters as they are no longer fun to play, it's just repetitive fighting, over and over.
   
   Another huge mistake that was made during production of this game was the change in multiplayer maps and the lobby/waiting area. I feel like restricting players to fewer game modes and removing fun modifiers and bot-filled matches for practice was a mistake because, once again, it didn't need to be changed. People liked old features and they have changed anyway, for no good reason once again. another point I would like to bring up is the 'Giddy Park' section of the game, which ruins the fun completionist and secret-hunter side of things for me. In the original game (GW2 SPOILERS AHEAD) finding all the gnomes, finding goat and torchwood, finding the secret fish hat and finishing most of the snowglobes were all great experiences, which I feel like are missing in the new game, and while they make an appearance in the PvE aspects of the game, it's just not the same, you're not getting any PvP bonuses or just cool stuff to use in other parts of the game from the wonderful PvE side of the game.
   
   The last thing I'm gonna talk about is the woefully bad PvP in this game. The maps, while I have not played many of them, all are extremely repetitive and prioritize a much more overwatch type of gameplay, rather than the wacky, chaotic styles of the old games, with interactive elements being everywhere. These maps just are not fun, and the game is sometimes extremely buggy as well.
   
   Thanks for listening to my rant about this disaster of a game :)… Expand

   Game not worth buying, with unbalenced characters, toxic community, lazy developers and a lot of bugs
