Grow Up is an excellent sequel that builds on a strong foundation to make a spectacular game. If you liked Grow Home, you’ll want to play this too.

This quickfire follow-up to one of 2015's real gems doesn't make any big steps forward, but it's a charmer all the same.

Grow Up doesn't feel terribly different from Grow Home other than its larger world, but its main achievement is to strengthen some of its predecessor's weak points. The drive to climb to the top of everything remains, but here it's improved on with new methods of climbing and flying, and the option to toss down plants that serve as tools for any situation. The camera sometimes complicates this, but not enough to bury the charm of the original.

Grow Up's frustrating physics and controls conflict with its charming presentation.

The sequel to Ubisoft's Grow Home is a charming follow up that gives gamers more to explore and collect, but ultimately fails to capitalize with further innovations.
