Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted

Whether you’re new to the series or returning after a long hiatus, Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted is a game that’s going to suck you in with its hypnotic soundtrack and addictive action.

We now have a remake of one of my favourite casual games of all time and this is one delectable treat for any strategy game fan.

Plants Vs. Zombies Replanted is a faithful recreation of the original game that brings every bit of its charm and fun gameplay loop to modern platforms. It's as entertaining, unique, and quirky as it was back in the day, and is definitely worth diving back into if you loved the original release. If you haven't, this one's a treat!

Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted is the best way to play this seminal tower defense in 2025, but with so many cut corners, it leaves us wanting more.

PopCap and EA have managed to remaster a absolute classic. Plants Vs Zombies: Replanted is nothing if a brilliant oove letter to a game that could see a resurgence of the franchise or maybe some other classics that EA have twiddling its thumbs while sitting the vault.

Plants vs Zombies Replanted is the same game you know and love, albeit with a shiny new veneer. Some games don't get old, and providing you're in the mood for something laid-back and casual, protecting your garden from zeds is as much fun as it's ever been.

Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted is a worthy remaster of a classic, beloved game. When it was first announced, I was genuinely excited at the prospect of replaying this game. I imagine if you don’t have the same nostalgic feeling for Plants vs. Zombies, you might not share the same enthusiasm, but for fans, it’ll be nice to be back in the backyard. The updated visuals are crisp, but don’t expect anything too mind-blowing. I would have liked to see a deeper PvP mode, and the lack of any online mode might be a turn-off for some folks. The Co-Op mode is great and worth the price of admission alone. ...

Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted's attempt to remaster the original comes with questionable choices, but it's still a good way to get re-acquainted with (or introduced to) one of the quirkiest puzzle-strategy games of the 2000s.

If you've never played Plants vs. Zombies before, think of it like a cartoonish tower defense with a ton of style and charm. You play as the plants, and with the help of sunflowers (and other resource-generating plants later on), you'll pick up sun, which is used as a currency to create offensive and defensive plants. The team at PopCap managed to craft a wonderful, interactive onboarding experience, allowing even complete newcomers to the genre to pick it up in minutes.

There's a glitchy zombie on your lawn

Ya’ll, PopCap is dead and they’re not coming back. The maker of beloved puzzle games was absorbed by EA a while ago, and the franchises that we played to avoid doing work back in high school and college now no longer exist. It’s why we have things like Bejeweled Stars and why Bookworm hasn’t been heard from since Obama took office. But the core franchise, Plants vs. Zombies, still gets acclaim and occasional pushes to make it a thing again. Garden Warfare was decent, that weird mobile...

Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted is a remaster of the original Plants vs. Zombies, released in 2009, a game that has been ported to more platforms than Skyrim. How does Replanted bring an aging tower defense into the modern age?
