Quite literally peak of my childhood gaming with friends. This is those warm summer nights where you stay up late and you're all laughing hysterically. Begging to host Garden Ops lobbies knowing full well I'd tank the run because my internet sucked or I'd be called down for my tea. This was my first shooter and it'll alway have a fond place in my heart. It's an amazing re-imagination of the Plants VS Zombies concept and has a real all-star cast of characters that feel unique, fun, and surprisingly well balanced (or was it that we simply didn't care if they weren't). These days pack opening is a tired concept (and a predatory monetisation strategy) but back then there was something so exciting and satisfying about completing the sticker book to unlock new characters, desperate to do it all without spending a penny of my pocket money.
