As much as I hate Ubisoft for the scourge of Uplay, and despite all the complaints I have about quirks of this game's gameplay, Grow Home is a highly novel experience and I definitely recommend it, especially if you're fazed by how unoriginal games have been lately.

I spent some time AFK, so I'd say this is a 3-4 hour game unless you want to hunt achievements. I'm kind of disappointed that they didn't iron out the last few kinks (climbing is awkward and you will sometimes just randomly fall, you'll randomly drop objects when trying to drag them, walking up a slight incline often won't work, the camera is pretty awful), because this game could have been on the same level of enjoyment-per-minute as Portal. Still, it's a very good game. I hope Ubisoft makes more experimental smaller-budget games like this.
