Attack of the FanboyWilliam SchwartzFeb 20154.5/5 starsGrow Home isn't awfully deep, nor does it provide any real story to hook you, but this game taps into the pleasure centers of seeing something and going there... however you may choose to do so.

Rock, Paper, ShotgunJohn WalkerFeb 2015Take your time, play with the flora and fauna (although be careful, it's not all friendly), search out the gems (some are cunningly hidden), and enjoy taking your time. This isn't a game to rush, but to wobbily savour.
