Not the best anymore. But I spent enough hours on Plants vs. Zombies when it first came out that leaving it off entirely felt dishonest. The lane management is instantly readable, the plant-counter system gives it more strategic texture than it looks like it has, and the GOTY edition adds enough extra content to justify revisiting it. The depth is genuinely light compared to every other game on this page, and the modern playability situation on PC is messier than it used to be. Worth mentioning for the history and for newcomers who want the gentlest possible entry point. Just know you will outgrow it fast.
