Grow Up Review | GameCloud

Rohan Ford at GameCloud writes: "With its thoughtful level design, Grow Up certainly does a good job of directing the player towards their goal without making it all feel like an on-rails type affair. With plenty of side challenges and ability buffs to make playful distraction a meaningful part of the game, I never found myself forced so much as gently persuaded toward set achievements. That said, with all goals laid out clearly from your P.O.D map, players of the original may find the exploratory element a little lost to convenience, though this does make it easier to pick up where you left off. As a gamer mainly looking for a release from the determinism of the familiar, though, I couldn’t ask for much more. Whether you may have dismissed the series as ‘kid’s stuff,’ Grow Home’s sequel presents a fresh take on established themes, a veritable platform through which one can achieve both literal and figurative perspective (I’m keen to see it in VR). Despite some niggles over lowering the base difficulty, as a casual tourist to this particular landscape, I would say it’s definitely worth a visit."
