    -"Why Popcap was good?"
    -*Looks inside*
    -*Yaps on about only three games, while skeeming over others like Zuma, Dynomite!, Big Money, AstroPop, Peggle, Feeding Frenzy*

      I just said it, because the title is kinda misleading. If it was something like "PopCap's Best Games" or "PopCap's other great games" it would feel more accurate.

    ...about PvZ2, i feel like that game was actually great even with it having microtransactions and stuff (you can literally just ignore it and enjoy the game), at least up until they introduced leveling and removed/changed/broke some stuff making it basically unplayable at this point (it's a good thing reflourished exists).
    But yeah, i know you need a lot of context to understand popcap's reason for not making new pc games anymore and became what they are now, so i'll say this video is good enough (at least it's nice to see insaniquarium getting some love).
    ...and oh yeah, chuzzle 2 exists if you want to find the real popcap, just wanted to say it.

    This might be childhood biased coming to play... But stinky the snale saved me way too much money!!! In the end levels you need SOOOO much money and that means 100 coins and different currency is falling at one time, in my testing stinky is the best by far!!! The jelly fish is actually the worst thing ever!!!!

      In some ways sure, lots of plants and new worlds. But the majority of plants are really grindy to get or need real money which I absolutely hate. In pvz 1, you get every plant and there are mini games and puzzles. Whichever game you like more, go have fun dude!
