Via gameplay desse jogo a muito tempo, nem lembro de qual youtuber que eu vi isso, era doido pra jogar ele e que joguinho zika, muito gostosinho de jogar, recomendo muito. 8/10
Really sweet game with clear endgame. As someone who's never once wanted to 100% a game, this one has somehow made it my mission to fill the data bank and collect all crystals. (9 more to go!)
un jeu ou il faut escalader une plante grimpante
Grow Home is one of those rare games that embraces simplicity and transforms it into something memorable. Developed by Reflections, a Ubisoft Studio, and published by Infogrames and Atari, the game presents a refreshing departure from the high-stakes action and cinematic storytelling that dominate much of the industry. Instead, players step into the metallic feet of B.U.D., a Botanical Utility Droid sent on an important mission: gather the scattered crystals needed to help a gigantic alien plant flourish and ultimately save his home world. The premise is straightforward, but its execution is filled with charm, personality, and a surprisingly strong sense of adventure. At the center of the experience is the Star Plant, a towering organism that serves as both the game's objective and its most ingenious mechanic. Players guide its growth by steering its branches toward floating islands suspended throughout the sky. Each successful connection expands the plant higher into the atmosphere, creating a natural progression system that constantly encourages exploration. The Steam description emphasizes vertical traversal and unrestricted climbing, and Grow Home excels in delivering both. Every cliff face, rock formation, and plant stem can be scaled manually, making the world feel tangible in a way that many platformers never achieve. B.U.D.'s controls are intentionally unconventional, with players operating each arm independently while navigating the environment. Initially, this can feel cumbersome, especially during precise climbs or awkward landings. However, the design choice ultimately becomes part of the game's identity. B.U.D. is not an action hero; he is an endearing robot whose stumbles and flailing limbs often create amusing moments. The procedural animation system gives the character an almost toy-like quality, turning even routine movement into a source of entertainment. Whether accidentally tumbling down a mountain or narrowly grabbing a ledge after a long fall, the game consistently creates stories unique to each player. The world itself is compact but thoughtfully designed. Floating islands are populated with strange creatures, glowing plants, and useful tools that expand traversal options. Flower blossoms can act as makeshift parachutes, while large leaves provide opportunities to glide across vast distances. Hidden collectibles and teleportation points encourage players to venture off the main path, rewarding curiosity rather than simply pushing them toward the next objective marker. The low-polygon art style remains visually appealing years after release, with its bright colors and clean presentation lending the game a timeless quality. Combined with a gentle soundtrack, Grow Home creates a relaxing atmosphere that makes wandering its world a pleasure. That said, the game's experimental nature does come with limitations. The campaign is relatively short, and players can expect to see most of what Grow Home has to offer within a few sessions. Some may also find the climbing mechanics frustrating, particularly when a minor mistake results in a lengthy descent. The world, while enjoyable to explore, lacks the environmental variety found in larger open-world titles. Yet these shortcomings are difficult to criticize too harshly because Grow Home never attempts to be an expansive blockbuster. Its ambitions are modest, and it fulfills them with confidence and creativity. Ultimately, Grow Home succeeds by focusing on discovery, exploration, and a genuine sense of wonder. It proves that compelling gameplay does not require elaborate narratives or endless content. Watching the Star Plant stretch ever higher while mastering B.U.D.'s quirky movements creates an experience that is both relaxing and rewarding. Even years after its debut, the game remains a standout example of how innovative ideas and thoughtful design can leave a lasting impression. It may be brief, but its charm ensures that the journey is one worth taking. Rating: 9/10
good game 100% achievements was a ride
This reminded me of short hike. I love it
Very underrated forgotten game
go up!
- Playtime: 17 minutes - Played: 2026 - Context: I hate 3D platformers but you never know. [b]Review[/b] I tried to play this with my controller, but it would infinitely spin the camera so that didn't work. Using left and right mouse to clumsily, slowly climb wasn't fun. In general the slowness of the game is grating. When i climbed up to the second tentacle vine thing i fell and i'd had enough.
