In Garden Warfare 2, unlike the original, this time the zombies have conquered the land and the plants must put up their toughest defense if they want to take back control. The action on the battlefield won't start until the game releases on February 23rd in the U.S. & the 25th in the U.K., but the reviews are starting to roll in now!

The Xbox One version of the game currently has a Metascore of 83 out of 100 based on 26 critical reviews. The highest review comes from Twinfinite with a perfect 100 out of 100 score, while the lowest score, a 60 out of 100 comes from Arcade Sushi.

Here's what the critics are saying:

Twinfinite - 100 out of 100
"PopCap Games didn’t just recapture their old thunder, they magnified it to Zeus-like proportions. The quirky series from three years ago has managed to become a masterclass example in value."

We Got This Covered - 90 out of 100
"Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 is a great breath of fresh air in an otherwise starch genre. Not only is it a humorous treat for the eyes and ears, but it's also a very rich, balanced, and enjoyable game, which packs a hell of a lot of content into its less than 20gb install file."

ZTGD - 90 out of 100
"It is a surprisingly competent shooter that breaks the mold, both stylistically and thematically from other titles in the genre. The added single player components and all around improvements make this a worthy sequel that no one should miss."

PlayStation LifeStyle - 85 out of 100
"Distinctive characters, detailed maps and a lively sense of chaos all add up to one of the finest family-friendly multiplayer experiences on PS4. There’s also solo play this time around, and while that suffers a bit from balancing issues, it’s nice to be able to squeeze in a little experience-building and item-collecting in between rounds of online action."

Xbox Achievements - 80 out of 100
"Despite sometimes descending into colourful, eye-hurting confusion at times, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 is a relentlessly entertaining and stupidly fun game that you can't help but play with a big, dumb grin on your face. Great fun alone, online with strangers or in co-op with friends, Garden Warfare 2 is never anything less than a joy."

USgamer - 80 out of 100
"At its core, the game is still hugely fun to play, and it remains open and accessible to gamers of all skill levels. It's just that the new content feels somewhat lean."

Arcade Sushi - 60 out of 100
"Garden Warfare 2 does nothing new outside of those new maps and the hub area, which really isn’t that much. This sequel feels like a “complete edition” of the first Garden Warfare only with different maps."
