User blog:.chromicsalt/Kingler Reviews: Ancient Egypt

So, I'm starting a new system called Kingler Reviews, where I'll review certain content related to Plants vs. Zombies 2.

So, here, I'm starting the series off with the first world in the game (not counting Player's House); Ancient Egypt.

Overview

So, Ancient Egypt is the first world of the game, and, as its name suggests, is based off ancient Egyptian culture and times. Ancient Egypt is designed to be the easiest world besides Player's House due to being the first; however, I don't think it does this job very well.

Concept

Now, the concept of Ancient Egypt is generally good, and makes sense. It is a nice way to start off the game, and I do think that this concept is well-executed zombie-wise and is fitting. Therefore, I do appreciate its concept and I will give it a rating of...

5/5.

Plants

The plants on the other hand, are well...alright. I mean, I don't particularly like using any of them in my general battles with zombies, and I do feel as if these plants are quickly outclassed later on, in the case of Bloomerang and Repeater being outclassed by Laser Bean, Twin Sunflower by Primal Sunflower, etc. I do think that, however, these plants are generally pretty helpful in this world (and in the early worlds in general), although some of them have disadvantages against some of the zombies, such as Bonk Choy having a huge disadvantage against Explorer Zombie if its torch is lit. Grave Buster is quite helpful in both this world and Dark Ages, although otherwise I find it pretty useful to be frank. Sadly, most of these plants, as stated before, become much less useful later on. So, therefore the rating for this section is...

3/5.

Execution

Now, the execution isn't really that good in comparison to the concept. This is meant to be the easiest non-tutorial world in the game; however, there are many parts of it that are generally pretty difficult (ahem, Day 20) and the world doesn't really show its difficulty concept as well as it should. Zombie-wise, it has some great zombie concepts, and I don't really have much of a problem with them. I'd say the only issue is that Pharaoh Zombie might be a bit too difficult at this stage in the game. Now, in execution, I give it a...

2/5

Final Rating

So, in general, I'd give Ancient Egypt a total rating of...

3 Power Lilies!
