Reviews for Monument Valley 2

The game, much like its predecessor, was stunning. We meet new characters, have a whole new story presented to us, and the puzzles present fresh new challenges to the mind. The only issue I have with it is the shortness of the game. This is to be anticipated from a mobile game, but presents a contrast between price and gameplay. So I'd like to pitch to the creators: maybe a longer game for computer or console?

I love the concept, but it has two big flaws. One, it is very, very easy. The game presents no challenge. Two, it is very short, just 2-3 hours. I would have liked to see a longer game with puzzles that progress in difficulty. I think that challenging puzzles are possible with this gameplay and for a sequel I'd like to see a more difficult game.

It was a fun chill puzzle game. It seemed easier than the first one which I was a little disappointed on, but I really enjoyed the mechanic where you made the geometry at the end of each level. I experienced a bug on level 14 for the night/day section where the day side graphics made it hard to see the daughter. Overall chill game. Nice calming music and fantastic graphics.

I love the monument valley games. I think they're super fun and interesting take on puzzle games. my one singular complaint I've ever had. I have gotten the secret achievement on this one multiple times and for some reason it never counts it. I get the whole 'achievment unlocked' thing while I'm playing but when I finish the level and come back here to check it still says 14/15 completed so :/ but that really has nothing to do with the beautiful, wonderful, game it's just a personal problem

This is my first experience with the series and I loved it. Puzzles were relatively simple. The ambiance, level design, and story are where it shined. I did my first playthrough without sound and liked it so much I decided to play again with sound. I strongly suggest you take the devs recommendation and play with sound. It really rounds out the experience this game provides.

Honestly, the first game was stunning. It would be hard to outdo it. But this game feels like they didn't really try. The puzzles are a lot more trial and error and a lot less skill than the first game. The mother/daughter thing feels gimmicky. And I turned the music off because it was actually a worse game imo with the sound--something I would never dream of saying of the first game.

So the art is brilliant, but the game is so easy, especially if you played the first one. I feel that they intentionally made the levels easy. The game took me 3 small sessions to beat. Most entire sections I beat in less than 10 minutes. The levels usually only have one thing you can do, so it makes it for easy completion. Would give it 5 stars if was free, but not for $4.99 should be more difficult.

When I think of a generic mobile game, I think of a puzzle game. One with simplistic designs. However, this game is both of those and yet not even close to the same. The animations are extraordinary. The art is the best simplistic style I've ever seen. The gameplay is so varied throughout your entire adventure... Its simply beautiful. The whole thing is just a great experience.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable sequel to the original game, with the same mesmerizing soundtrack and lovey imagery and new(ish) puzzles. It is short but sweet and one of the few "games" that actually makes me feel better after playing it a little while. On a down note, I had a LOT of trouble with this game both on my phone and my tablet. The audio crackles and pops a lot on the phone; the game would not run at all on my tablet beyond the "loading..." screen until I uninstalled it and rebooted. But once up and lumbering under its own weight, it looks and sound marvelous on the big 8" tablet screen!

Dropped a star because updates got my hopes up, but no new content was added. Like the first one, the graphics and sound are beautiful, but this one is much less challenging, with much shorter levels, and quicker to complete overall. Putting a second object into the puzzles should have opened a lot more options. Disappointing for the money spent. I really hope a free, or very cheap, update is in the works!
