    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.

    It's a wonderfully tactile, funny and warmhearted toy that's worth playing with. [Nov 2016, p.94]

    It's not as surprising as the original, but if you enjoyed Grow Home, you'll enjoy Grow Up. This episode offers more possibilities, but still may end up being repetitive.

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

    Despite we feel that a lot of opportunities with its open world were unexplored, Grow Home still has all the charming and good mechanics of its predecessor offering us an enjoyable adventure.

    Grow Up is larger, more beautiful and more entertaining than Grow Home. But we have to deal with a very complex control system that requires dedication to be appreciated.

    Grow Up hasn't really grown up yet, cause you get a full sand box to explore. It still fails to be a game that everybody will love, but if you enjoyed BUD's first adventure, you will definitely enjoy this one too.

    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.

    In style and gameplay a decent sequel to Grow Home, an annoying camera and clumsy BUD keeps it from reaching lofty heights.

    A lesson in learning to appreciate what’s around you, while at the same time providing solid gameplay with a real sense of progression.

If you spent hours on Grow Home you won't lose any sleep on missing out, however if you've yet to experience B.U.D's adventures then this wouldn't be the worst starting point, just the more expensive one.… Full Review »

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.… Full Review »
