Where's Our Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare Review?
PopCap's family-friendly shooter is out in the wild, but you'll have to wait a little longer for Game Informer's official verdict. We need more time playing with the public before we can complete our review.
Garden Warfare is a multiplayer-only game, which means much of the enjoyment it offers players hinges on how EA's multiplayer servers perform. While we got our bearings in some pre-launch matches with other media outlets and EA representatives, we felt waiting to experience the game with real players (and full post-launch traffic) is important for assessing the game.
Our early impressions of Garden Warfare have been mixed; the Plants Vs. Zombies aesthetic and characters are as charming as ever, but some of EA's design decisions and the limited amount of modes and maps are disappointing. If you're on the fence about purchasing the game, we advise you to wait and read our full review when it's available later this week.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
