I played this game in the past and other than formally free plants now being something you have to buy, was happy with the game. Now, your stuck in one area, forced to grind in order to power up plants, so you can beat some boards. The prices of everything is high, nearly five dollars for most plants. If I am going to spend that much money on something, it isn't going to be on something I can't touch. You can watch ads for gems and coins, but the amount of coins just isn't worth it.
