    Grow Up is a more enjoyable open game than Grow Home. What hasn't changed is its incredible vistas and sense of wonder when on top of some strange mountain stuck in the sky.

    Wonderful and full of charm, but it can't reach the heights of the first game. [Oct 2006, p.70]

    Compared to Grow Home there is not a lot of new stuff in Grow Up, but it still offers a great world to explore, addictive, relaxing and frustrating gameplay (it exists) and an arty game to really enjoy.

    Grow Up delivers a nice and fresh platform experience: if you liked Grow Home, this new episode will please you as well.

    Grow Up expands the sandbox-like world of Grow Home, giving the players more gameplay possibilities and more room for movement, but the endemic flaws of the predecessor are still there. Despite all that, the experience can be pretty unique and mesmerizing at times.

    It's a routine sequel and that's why the special nature of the predecessor gets lost in the huge game world.

    Grow Up plays with gameplay elements that are unapologetically unwieldy. When even basic things like jumping and climbing feel clumsy, it’s difficult to get excited about playing with B.U.D., even if he elicits a laugh or two. There’s enough charm and visually rewarding exploration to make Grow Up worth a look if you can get past the control issues, but that's ultimately easier said than done.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. They messed up what was so great about Grow Home. That game had a definite progression. Each teleporter felt earned, and you used them repeatedly whenever you fell back to earth. In Grow Up the teleporters are everywhere, and I never used them in the course of the whole game. The map system is jarring and unpleasant to use, plus it is way too easy now. You can find everything for the main story in a couple of hours.

    Gone also is the really fun part of Grow Home -- exploring the world to find the animals and plants. Instead you have challenges, which is flying through hoops on timers. So not fun! Especially with the wonky-ass controls of this game. The world is bigger but feels much smaller. There are new abilities, but you don't use them. There are a lot of plants for you to catalog, and you can spawn them, but there's rarely any need and they all pretty much do the same thing. You don't even have to hunt for them -- there's a glaring blinking marker whenever a new one is onscreen.

    The world is bigger but it's meaningless. There's no mystery, there's nothing you're looking for. Since it is horizontally laid out instead of vertical, you never really have to climb much. You can usually just glide from wherever your highest point is to anywhere else.

    Way to go Ubisoft -- Grow up is Messed Up.    … Expand

The first one was massively enjoyable and fun where as Grow Up isn't even playable day 1. Every single time I go to start the game it crashes I do not even get to the start screen. For a game to be literally unplayable on launch day is ridiculous this game gets a 0/10 in the most literal of sense this game is unplayable.… Expand
