For PVZ 2, we got four worlds, two of them aclaimed and the other two considered trash. I have got to say that the best world was Frostbite Caves. Everyone was thinking that after BWB every world was gonna be extremely hard and then this appeared. An extremely balanced world with fair difficulty, nice designs and useful plants, plus variety of levels. Although Rotobaga, Stunion, Troglobite, Hunter and Weasel were called clones.

Then Lost City came. We saw some strange design choices with this one. The Gargantuar statue, the Endless Zone podium and the Zomboss podium had reduced details to the max, which angered fans. Plus Popcap decided to add 7 special zombies and make fast paced and short levels. Also part 2 lost some variety compared to BWB and FC, making the levels mostly normal with objectives, a thing that stayed with the next releases. Let's also not forget that money premiums returned with this world.

Very shortly we got Neon Mixtape Tour, a world to try to redeem past mistakes. We got six new plants including the return of a plant from the first game (not happening since BWB), six new zombies, an interesting and an original world gimmick. It is a little hard to point flaws with this world, but since this world IG/Ginta Gaming begun to show everything with the beta releases, losing the surprise effect.

Finally we got Jurassic Marsh, where we saw Popcap commiting even bigger mistakes than before, now giving a clear advantage to those who buy premiums, restricting the world mechanic to the special zombies and making the plants updated (and useful) versions of the first plants we obtain in the game (oh the memories).

Now we are giving focus to 2016, where we are gonna see the last world of our beloved game and dream about what's coming next. One thing that looks like to be a trend is giving more event related plants starting with Blooming Heart. So far it is impossible to say 2016 is gonna be one of tre crapiest years for this game, I'm interested in what's coming next.
