User blog:Tecku/TT: Jurassic Marsh Second Impressions

Hey guys. Just like my Lost City review, my opinion on Jurassic Marsh has changed over time. Let's recap:

- Primal Peashooter is a pretty interesting plant. It's not as OP as Snapdragon, but its certainly better than pretty much any other Peashooter variant.

- Primal Potato Mine is one of the most OP plants in the game. It's the only instant that can do massive damage on more than one tile without having a Very Slow recharge. The priming time is often negligible, and it really is OP.

- Primal Wall-Nut might have been more balanced in say PvZ1, but in this game, Sun is more than in abundance. Coupled with his multi-Garg hit, and he's pretty OP.

- Primal Sunflower is a lot better than I originally thought it was, especially with PPM. Here's what I say: Sun Shroom is most OP compared to what it's supposed to be. Sunflower is meant to be a standard, Twin Sunflower is meant to be a big generator you can save space with, Sun Shroom is meant for low Sun conditions, and Primal SF is meant to be for when you want power and not space saving. So Sun Shroom works too well in daytime levels. But I will admit, Primal is probably tied for, if not the superior daytime Sun maker.

- Grapeshot is still too good.

- Cold Snapdragon is a direct upgrade. Not funny.

- When re-visiting Perfume Shroom and the Dinosaurs, I will say this. I think I had the wrong mindset. In my mind, the goal was to get as many dinos charmed as possible, lest your ranks be ruined. So when I couldn't get T-Rex charmed most of the time, that got me peeved. You should probably pack Perfume Shroom for Anklyosaurus or for multiple Pterodactyls on one lane, but its better to Imitate Primal PM than Perfume Shroom.

This is one of the times where I will admit to using a bad strategy. T-Rex is actually pretty balanced, and I didn't give it credit when it deserved it. To heck with the Anklyosaurus, though.

- Dino Bully is still underwhelmingly bland.

- Implementation is... better than I remember. It's not as fun as Lost City, per say, but it's tolerable.
