    This is a deliciously tactile, malleable game. One of its levels is full of more ideas than most games on the App Store can cram into their entire run time. Plus it's beautiful. So very, very beautiful. I can't stress enough how good Monument Valley 2 is. It builds on what came before - in a very real way, it's a sequel about sequels. And its story about legacy cements ustwo's own position as one of the greatest developers working on mobile.

    If you want a puzzle game that will test you, this isn't for you. If you just want something that you can interact with in order to get rewarded with interesting themes and gorgeous artwork, Monument Valley 2 succeeds at that. But if Ustwo ever explores this world again, I think there's a gap between the gameplay and the art that could be crossed to make this the masterful experience these games have just barely fallen short of being in my eyes.

    Fantastic adventure, journey of knowledge, flawless puzzle game, a piece of art ... All names fit to the Monument Valley II, the sequel of the 2014 mobile hit. If you can, buy it and play it.

    A truly gorgeous experience that lives up to the reputation of its predecessor - shame it's over far too quickly.

    It's a beautifully brief journey, but ustwo's reluctance to fully explore its possibilities only hampers its potential.

    Like its predecessor and its DLC, Monument Valley 2 is a short game (say, two hours?). Personally, I do not consider this a disadvantage; on the contrary, I like games that do not pull their punches. I do not need time fillers, thank you very much; I plan on only living once but making the most of that opportunity. Monument Valley 2 certainly deserves a spot in my short but rich life.

    Monument Valley 2 is a shameless cashing grabbing project. The first Monument Valley game was already overpraised. It looks too similar toMonument Valley 2 is a shameless cashing grabbing project. The first Monument Valley game was already overpraised. It looks too similar to Journey from ThatGameCompany. And the puzzles are easy and predictable in later chapters. However, on mobile platform, Monument Valley was fresh and interesting to its target audience back in 2014. It got overrated pretty easily.
    Unfortunately, things have changed a lot during the past 3 years. After the original Monument Valley game succeeded, many other puzzle games have come out to mobile platform. Some of them are bad, some are excellent. Hitman Go, for instance, has a better puzzle solving experience. But the design of Monument Valley has been roughly the same. I get bored even before half way through the game. There are some minor changes: the devs add a new character into the new entry, and try to make some emotional impact. But the game never earns it. The story, not sure if can be legitimately called a story, is told by a handful of short oracle-ish sentences . They tried to make it mysterious but ended up being a non-story.
    The second entry also keeps some bad aspects from the last game. Right after the player launches the game, a prompt says "this game is best played with sound". But just like the first game, the soundtracks are merely some ambient sounds. If I were the dev team and I had no budget for some real music, I would never talk about the sound. The last but not least, the puzzles are too simple, yet again.
    My overall experience with this game is hallow and unsatisfied. For people who love puzzles, this one is rather dull. For people who eager to new concepts and ideas from a game, this one has zero value of existence. This game is not completely valueless to everyone though. I think it is OK for people who have not played the first game and those who have not play any other games in this genre at all. For myself, I would rather erase my memory of this one. For what it is, Monument Valley 2 is just another generic game.    … Expand
