Topic	Epyo's Top 100 Games of All Time (with write-ups)
Epyo 08/28/22 12:24:57 AM #197:	Those are all very good points. Required secrets can be a dealbreaker, especially, IMO. ------------------ #16 Plants vs. Zombies https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/3/3/AABIPnAADnCd.jpg Real Time Strategy is perhaps my most-despised genre of video game. It's because of the extremely slow onboarding these games tend to have: lots of tutorializing, reading walls of text, memorizing interfaces, memorizing controls and keybinds... AND worse: they're terrible at quickly showing you what's fun about it. The first level of Warcraft 3 makes you guide Thrall through a maze!! Plants vs. Zombies is the polar opposite. Within about 30 seconds, you're playing the real game--but it's only ONE lane instead of FIVE lanes, so it's literally a vertical slice! Within 30 more seconds, you've planted your second plant, and now you see what's fun: you've DOUBLED your DPS. The next zombie that comes, dies TWICE AS FAST. Now you understand you're playing the most satisfying game genre: engine building. Each level is like FIVE MINUTES LONG. And then the next level resets the board and YOU GET TO DO IT AGAIN! Now that is engine building! If I had to pick one game that I wish I designed, it would be PvZ. It's a little too easy though. FAVORITE PLANT: The Chomper. It's cute when it eats a zombie and the legs are hanging out its mouth for a while. --- People who don't finish their sentences I'm a Castlevania superfan!
