Gameplay

I do miss varients but I'm not unhappy without them. the customizing is amazing and the grind is reasonable. i mean after 12 hours i have 6 charectars at least advance and i have nightcap on super elite and snapdragon on elite. the matches can sometimes be dead lobbies where you cant get even one game but most the times you have mostly real people and the ai carry their weight for the most part.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.

i can say that the game is fun for the first time if you're playing story quest for plants and zombies.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It still has the PvZ feeling (which is being unserious and crazy), and with its many playable characters, modes and maps, it is a fun game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Fluid gameplay, balanced characters, a great art style, fun loadouts to experiment with, and better maps overall.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However, BFN is better than GW2 in every way possible for co-op experiences with your friends.
