Grow Up Critic Reviews

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 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.

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.

Wonderful and full of charm, but it can't reach the heights of the first game.

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.

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.

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

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

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 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.

Ubisoft goes back to something that was started as an experiment in order to create a straightforward and enjoyable game. BUD's adventure is not about great adventures, but a simple one, whose target are all those players who don't see top-notch visuals as a requirement for a great game.

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

Some of the new features could’ve done with pruning, but Ubisoft’s willingness to nurture indie style experiments continues to bear fruit.

The sequel to one of 2015s most charming games is just as much fun to explore, with a much bigger area at your feet. In spite of some hard-to-control movements – which are fixed with new abilities early on – this is just as much of a fun experiment as Grow Home, and one I recommend just as heartily.

The best sequels improve from its predecessors in every important way, and this is sometimes true in Grow Up, but it’s mostly more of the same in a bigger space. That isn’t a bad thing, because it’s a ton of fun, but I was left with a sense of finality for B.U.D. and friends. It’s a wonderful thing that we live in a world in which Grow Home gets its big sequel, and we have one more great game because of it.

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

For the asking price of ten bucks, it would be difficult to find more enjoyment.

Grow Up is a great game which has taken what made the first game so enjoyable and has added some fun new abilities and mechanics to make exploration even more enjoyable.

It's a gleeful game that is always aiming to make you smile, and though technical problems persist, it's hard to care when you're jetting aimlessly about, playing with the physics and climbing ever higher. Perhaps it could've afforded to change things up a little more, but at the end of the day, this is a neat little platformer that may well supplant your expectations.
