This new turn-based dungeon crawler is inspired by the first board game I ever owned, and I can’t wait to adventure down memory lane

It features a fully voiced Dungeon Master and includes a Creator Mode for players to design their own content.

Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted patch brings back the dynamic audio so many players were missing from the original game

Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted was released in October as a remastered version of the original game, featuring enhanced visuals but receiving mixed reviews, particularly due to the removal of the dynamic soundtrack. The original game's composer, Laura Shigihara, expressed disappointment over this change. Replanted received a sub-50% rating on Steam, contrasting with the "overwhelmingly positive" feedback for the Game of the Year Edition. A patch (1.3.0) was released to restore the dynamic audio, resulting in a positive community response, although players still raised concerns about achievements, lack of online co-op, and other glitches. EA is preparing a 1.4.0 patch to introduce new features and address ongoing issues. The patch will allow controller users to collect sun by squeezing a trigger and fix various bugs and gameplay problems.
