Rrp: £ Free with EA Play
Alright, just to get this out there, no this isn’t a review of Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare nor is it a review of the Game of the Year edition. No, this review focuses on the basic port that at one point was being given away for free by EA on Origin at one point (which I think now is given away when you join EA Play).
I remember playing this game a long time ago on a tablet, at the time I put it into the mental category of ‘not bad for a tablet game’. Unfortunately that’s this games issue, it plays exactly like the tablet version and its clear that this was a lazy port. The graphics don’t upscale well and this in turn has made the art assets look more pixelated than they should, this is especially bad if you’re playing on a monitor that can handle 4k.
From a gameplay standpoint this works just fine, its exactly the same as the tablet version and I find that to be something of a missed opportunity. Again I want to make it known that this isn’t the Game of the Year Edition I’m speaking of, for all I know that version may do everything right.
Thing is though… this game is free, or at least its free with the EA Play service and I would assume that there isn’t anyone getting that service specifically to play this version of Plants vs Zombies.
