Grow Home Review and System Requirements

GameInfo: Grow Home is a platforming adventure PC(windows) game developed by Reflections, Ubisoft Studio and published by Ubisoft.

Review: So you play as a little grabby robot that is eternally enthusiastic, as he should be, because this game is REALLY FUN and you can climb all over all these big damn rocks and whatever! And all the animation is procedural which, would look really goofy with a human character unless they really really refined it, so that's why they made you a goofy robot probably. It's physical humour, almost, which the SKATE series has kind of accidentally nailed with it's INCREDIBLY BIZZARE physics engine that allows the game to transcend skateboarding. But uh, that's another story for another time.

Anyway this game rules, it's basically everything i've wanted in a platforming game since Mario 64- Not more plot, not more cutscenes, not more GUNSS, just more fun and engaging and enjoyable pure platforming action, and as in this game, free climbing and super rad cool polygonal artsy graphics with the sound of soothing waves and the breeze in your metal ears. Be a kid again and climb you some rocks, even if the camera is a bit wonky sometimes! I kinda theorize that maybe this game came from Ubisoft testing out a new ♥♥♥ Creed climbing system? Which is great because I really don't like ♥♥♥ Creed but I really like this! The controls are really simple but, intutive and easy to grasp, they reccomend a gamepad but honestly the mouse + keyboard controls work just fine. Plus it's only like 8 dollars? I've accidentally dropped more money than that on a windy day. Check it out, if you like climbing rocks and accidentally drowning happy robots.

Verdict: 80/100
