Our Expert Score

96/100

Plants vs. Zombies 2 is the rare sequel that manages to be significantly larger and more complex than its predecessor without losing the charm of the original. PopCap has taken the lane-based tower defense formula and exploded it across time and space, introducing hundreds of new plants and zombies that keep the strategy constantly evolving.

The game's greatest strength is its variety. One moment you are dealing with tombstone-raising mummies in Ancient Egypt, and the next you are navigating the high seas in Pirate Seas. Each 'world' introduces unique environmental hazards that force you to rethink your plant choices. The 'Plant Food' mechanic adds a much-needed layer of reactive gameplay, allowing you to supercharge a plant at a critical moment to turn the tide of a battle.

While the game is free-to-play and features many microtransactions, the sheer volume of content available for free is staggering. Between the 11 main worlds, the Arena PvP mode, and the 'Thymed Events' that bring new challenges every few weeks, there is always something to do. It remains the absolute pinnacle of the tower defense genre on mobile.
