And as great a name as “Garden Warfare” is, the entire point of picking plants and zombies was to represent the mechanics. Plants don’t move, zombies don’t sprint. (Down in back, Snyder!) The game was all blank colored boxes until it felt good to play. Theming was applied on top of that, to humorously convey what those units could do. And couldn’t do.
So of course the second sequel is a full-on CoD clone. A full-on rooty-tooty-run-and-shooty spunkgargleweewee affair. Because it’s been at least twenty years since EA completely lost the plot.
Plants vs. Zombies. EA bought out Popcap and kicked out the developer after he refused to add monetization to Plants vs. Zombies 2

I high key enjoyed garden warfare as a kid, I never owned it but I’d stay up all night at a friend’s house and play it. Didn’t know they made a sequel

I’m sure it’s a fine example of completely the wrong genre.
