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.
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.

If you liked Grow Home (and I did) then you'll love this. More of the same great climbing and growing game play with some new mechanics to keep it interesting. Not sure what the zero raters are smoking. It really is a game you cannot hate. I love it.

Everything I wanted in a new adventure. The art style and game-play are just as if not more amazing than Grow Home! I love the POD challenges too which add loads of extra things to do and explore. No violence too which means I can play with my Nephew :)

Grow Home’s sequel is still charming, enjoyable and cute as a button, but increasing its scale was completely unnecessary. [11/2016, p.64]
Grow Up expands the sandbox-like world of Grow Home, giving the players more gameplay possibilities and more room for movement, but the endemic flaws of the predecessor are still there. Despite all that, the experience can be pretty unique and mesmerizing at times.
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.
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.
Grow Up plays with gameplay elements that are unapologetically unwieldy. When even basic things like jumping and climbing feel clumsy, it’s difficult to get excited about playing with B.U.D., even if he elicits a laugh or two. There’s enough charm and visually rewarding exploration to make Grow Up worth a look if you can get past the control issues, but that's ultimately easier said than done.
good and fun game. cute robot B.U.D and cool physics. Grow home and Grow up not so different but world are become more huge and we get a new gadjet who can spawn different plants and with them we can get to the different places. Cool arcade/platformer/adventure game. 10/10

Although I can't help but feel it was an unnecessary sequel, Grow Up is able to maintain the charm of the original while adding a few new unique elements to make it worth your time.

Not what you would hope for a sequel but very much the same formula that made Grow Home so enjoyable with a few new mechanics and a newer(ish) environment that give it a very small shot in the arm. If you spent hours on Grow Home you won't lose any sleep on missing out, however if you've yet to experience B.U.D's adventures then this wouldn't be the worst starting point, just the more expensive one.

When he runs into a meteor storm B.U.D crash lands on a strange planet and must piece together his ship in order to escape.
Despite its clunky controls I quite enjoyed Grow Home and a big part of its appeal was the singular focus on climbing higher and higher to reach your escape ship. This sequel adds a few new ideas but none of them really add to the gameplay and the larger map, with its endless icons find and tick off, makes Grow Up feel like a bit of a chore to play. Sometimes less is more...

Summary BUD, an adorable yet clumsy, stumbling, tumbling robot. Spaceship wreckage scattered across an entire planet of abundant alien flora and thrusting star plants. A distant moon with your spacecraft’s beating heart yearning to be rescued. A fantastical acrobatic adventure in a world that’s as challenging as it is beautiful. Welcome to Grow ...
