Contrary to popular belief, this is a good game, in my opinion, if you want good single player storyline, bosses, and team plays, then play this, but if you want fun arcade multiplayer and nostalgia, then play GW2 instead. Overall really fun if you want more teamwork based gameplay or single player, but id still play GW2 for the multiplayer nostalgias sake.
P.S. Citron and Rose do in fact look like they underwent a terrible gone wrong plastic surgery, and the imp looks like he's on the spectrum.

I like the new classes a lot but the game loses so much from garden warfare 2 and you should probably just play that instead. It's still a really solid game just not what people wanted from a new PvZ. Can only except so much from EA tho. Negative reviews are super valid tho

Battle For Neighborville the game that ultimately killed off the franchise... But honestly revisiting this game I've actually had fun, it's really not the worst game in the world. These days lobbies are kinda dead on steam so honestly go play GW2 instead.

BFN is AWESOME!
Fluid gameplay, balanced characters, a great art style, fun loadouts to experiment with, and better maps overall.
It doesn’t have variants — so what? It’s not GW3; it’s a really solid spin-off shooter.
Just be aware that the player base is small, so matchmaking can be slow depending on the time and region.
Don’t care about the “no variants” criticism. Just play it and have fun!

Everyone says this game is terrible. I find it quite good in my opinion. I know that they ruined the whole feel of gw2 and 1, But its an open world game designed for people like me. All the drama over this game is not needed. I actually enjoy this game. Hope other people can feel what I feel about this game.

I don't know why this game gets so much hate. People liked GW2 because of the vairients, but it could be argued that this game has more. maybe not element types like gw2 but the different stats you can apply to the classes is something I like more. Of course thats preference, but I started out getting back into GW2 for the winter sale and everywhere I looked people said BFN was a waste of time and to just play GW2. At first I agreed from all their claims. Now however, I think BFN is better in almost everyway. I don't understand why everyone else pushes this game down as if its a huge disgrace. I have had friends have launching issues with both games so clearly neither is better in that sense because I saw comments complaining about how it wouldn't launch on windows 11. There is also straight up just different characters, not varients that just change the primary fire and have the same abilities, there is just brand new plants and zombies. I also like the reworks of how some of the old characters work too.
Lastly, I want to say this because I care more for friends than online play. Yes you can still play online game modes despite the active player count being lower than GW2. However, BFN is better than GW2 in every way possible for co-op experiences with your friends. Its really fun to do the open world stuff with buddies because you can actually do quests with others. I have always had an issue with not being able to do quests or anything other than screw around with others in the lobby. The open world campaign is a lot better and I like that you don't have to grind to get tons of money just to get character packs. Yes there is still money you need to get for characters, but the rate you get money compared to how much it costs to get cosmetics (and you don't have to buy characters except for the special zombie and the swarm class for both sides) is so much higher. I can randomly find a chest or do a quick mission in the open world area and that instantly gets me enough for a cosmetic. This is all my opinion of course, I just think overall, if you don't care for multiplayer and just want solo or co-op, then BFN is 100% better than GW2. GW2 still has its perks but its not something I would pick over.
