While some would consider this worse than Grow Home, I personally love the changes they added. The game is incredibly open ended and you can do any objective at one time. This forces you to explore this pretty detailed world and uncover all of it's secrets.

Gaining upgrades was the most enjoyable time in my playthrough as it was so exiting to see how B.U.D would become even more powerful then before. Researching plants was also a joy as there was a massive variety in how they transport you. Both these points highlight how the movement in this game is incredible. There are many ways to go from point to point and this allows for experimentation.

Time trials were added as well to test your movement knowledge and skill. These were all a joy to beat because you would unlock a new costume which isn't just an aesthetic change. Combine this with the open world elements and you have a game that is quite a bit longer than the first game, taking me around 4 times as long to beat it.

Somehow I had never heard of these two games until summer 2020 but I'm glad I got to experience them.
