Review: Grow Home (PC) | Digitallydownloaded

Digitallydownloaded: When Grow Home was announced, the developers told us that it was drawing inspiration from Wall-E and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Having played it now, I would suggest the official line throw in a third inspiration; Jack and the Beanstalk. Originally an internal Ubisoft project designed to test some physics models and entertain the staff, Grow Home as a tech demo was so impressive that it evolved into a commercial project. The game puts players in control of a bright red robot called BUD (short for Botanical Utility Droid) who has a simple objective of growing a massive beanstalk-like plant called the Star Plant so he can harvest the seeds.
