Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted rolled out in October, and I thought it was pretty good: Really just a higher-resolution (and more expensive) version of the original PvZ phenomenon, sure, but fine overall, and of particular benefit for people who want to play the game on a Steam Deck. Serious fans were unhappy, though, for a number of reasons, foremost among them the music.
Music in the original Plants vs. Zombies is dynamic, you see, changing with the events on the screen, but for some reason EA did away with that in the remaster—instead, it only played the "high intensity" version of the soundtrack. It sounds like a minor thing (even at its most intense, PvZ music is pretty not intense) but holy cow, did people notice—including composer Laura Shigihara—and they did not care for it. Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted landed with a sub-50% "mixed" rating on Steam, quite a contrast to the "overwhelmingly positive" rating the old GOTY Edition holds.
