Grow is a visually stunning game with some clever elements. It's worth playing just to see the unique visuals, puzzles, and game play this sandbox/rpg has to offer. The repetition can be broken up by traveling to different parts of the world/tree to complete different tasks. There are seven districts to develop and the complexity of each one increases for the first four and then does a landslide where the last three can be completed so quickly that the story ends before you barely build each town. That was extremely disappointing and caused me to walk away from the game even though I could have spend more hours growing more seed worlds (which are really amazing and it seems a lot of thought was put into this part of the game!). Despite that, I still recommend everyone at least explore what this game has to offer. I hope it is the first of a series because the developers are definitely onto something special with this game! I imagine future games in a series can offer more complexity in the challenges as the game progresses in order to keep the gamer engaged.
