Grow Home

This is one of those games that's probably gonna sit in your library unplayed but the weekend you finally decide to play it you'll look back fondly on. It's not an amazing game and it's just a collectathon, but it's also pretty cheap

It might not be the newest or the best game, but it still is a fun play if you're willing to be open-minded and spend some time with a ten year old game, involving cool character designs, a good story and some first-time-ambiance.

真っ赤で小さなロボットBUDくんを操作し、とある星に生えている巨木をクライミングしながら衛星軌道の高さまで育てるアクションゲーム。 最初は独特な操作感に苦戦しましたが、そこに慣れれば[u]気軽に楽しめる良ゲーです。[/u] 隅々まで楽しんでも15時間程度で実績コンプできました。 [h3]良かった点[/h3] [b]・スケール感[/b] 巨木は育つにつれ、地面から見上げると霞んで全体が見えないほど巨大になります。そして巨木のてっぺんから見る地上はまるでゴミのようです。 このスケール感がクセになります。 [b]・地道なクライミング[/b] 右手と左手を交互に操作して巨木を登っていきます。 地味ですがこの作業が楽しいのです。 [b]・ちょうどいい難易度の収集要素[/b] ストーリーのメインは木を育てる事ですが、能力上昇クリスタルの収集、動植物の図鑑登録など、いくつかの収集要素があります。 [b]・容易なトロコン[/b] 若干手のかかるのがいくつかありますが、コンプ自体の難易度は低いです。 [h3]独特な点[/h3] [b]・操作感[/b] 前述した通り、右手と左手を交互に動かし木をクライミングしていきます。 しかしBUDくんは体幹がぐにゃぐにゃしているため、プレイヤーが意図しない場所に手をかけてしまう事もしばしば。同じ操作で可動オブジェクトを持ち上げることも可能ですが、握力も弱いので結構ポロリします。 慣性も想定以上に大きくかかるので、最初はロケット飛行からの着地に苦戦するかもしれません。 [h3]その他[/h3] ・ストーリークリアと並行してクリスタル100個収集を済ませられると、その後の探索が格段に楽になるのでお勧めです。

[h1]I can tell they were onto something.[/h1] Overall, Grow Home is a passable achievement and a fine technical showcase. There is room for improvement though, which is what the sequel did, by and large. In Grow Home, you are tasked with guiding the Botanical Utility Droid to the Star Shoots to grow the Star Plant in hopes of releasing a star seed. You do this mostly by climbing. Left and right, steadily upwards and skywards. It can be meditative at moments, and offers enough to give you breathers between the massive task. There are a few catches. Owing to the procedural animation system used to animate BUD, the little droid tends to have a clumsy nature. BUD is not made of the smartest stuff. He has no sense of self-preservation and will stumble and bumble off cliffs with little assistance. There are a few good things, too. BUD has an infinite grip, infinite stamina, unlimited lives, and a few aces up his sleeve. This technical showcase will keep you occupied for a few hours to beat, and maybe a couple more to 100%.

Watched a youtuber play it. I have it now, played. I like this game from Grow Up that it's simpler, the simple here works, just one big starplant. Climbing is kinda awful, I wish there was more music. World is super pretti, and I wish there was a map tracker for crystals because I cannot bother with a signal detector like that helps if im not already near one. I don't know If i prefer this game or Grow up.

Got this for the memories, Nothing will ever beat playing this with my friends on play dates.

Fun little classic from a youtube long since past, love the mechanics.
