    Monument Valley 2 is a piece of art. Back in 2014 I got to play the first Monument Valley game. I loved the first game. It had some of the most stunning visuals I had seen on the mobile platform. Its game play was also fantastic with its fascinating puzzles. Monument Valley 2 contains all of these awesome elements that the first one had but builds upon them.

I loved the game play element with how you control the main character but how your companion follows you. Definitely worth a buy.… Expand

    Monument Valley 2 does not have nearly as many fully realized ideas as the first game, but it still has some originality in the level designs and it certainly has a unique storyline.

    It's still a good & beautiful puzzle game. But you can't enter the same river twice. And the sequel lost all the magic for me compared the first game.

    -In general, without a freshness of the first game, this one seemed like a simple puzzle game with some uncool difficulty spikes.    … Expand

    The game is spectacular. One needs several tries to admire the beautiful landscapes, richer than the previous version, and enjoy the sound design. Play for the sake of joy and beauty, and let yourself go in those impossible paths.
    Once again, the soundtrack fits like a glove for each scenario and situation.

    Monument 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    Monument 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

    While not quite as good as the first, Monument Valley 2 still has the same usage of beautiful scenery, amazing level design and highly enjoyable puzzles, while also having a powerful story about love and growing up to tie it all together.

    A good sequel to the first opus, very similar in all of its qualities, a little piece of art and escape. Being very similar to the first one also means it is less surprising, but it's still a really good mobile game.

    延续了上一作的特点而且依旧保持着高水准，遗憾的是并没有看到太多的创新。

    Monument Valley 2 adds original mechanics and levels by leaning into the animation and away from the puzzles.

    Very short, so I wouldn't pay for it. But gameplay and art style is great, like the first one

    Riddles much less difficult than in the first game (which is not what I expected), shorter levels, quicker completion. Still fine but I prefer the original game.

    Just like the first part, 2 is an equally beautiful looking and sounding production. By putting on headphones, we are able to completely immerse ourselves in the created world, which miraculously deceives our perception with the help of perspective. Unfortunately, we are not happy about it for long, because the developers have prepared several levels that we can complete in an hour.

In addition, they are so banal in themselves that they did not pose any challenge to me. Fun can be treated as a one-off experience where you can calm down and relax.… Expand

    I did not like this one quite as much as the first, but it was still very good, and still superior to any other mobile game I have played.

    Monument Valley 2 is an experience that conveys the same sense of wonder and amazement of the first chapter.

    Despite the sheer, breathless volume of new ideas, there's a sense of wonder missing from the sequel. The well-meaning tale feels a little rote in comparison to the first game's supernatural arc of redemption. [Sept 2017, p.118]
