Reviews for Monument Valley

EDIT: First update I’ve seen in many months (years?), and no release notes?? 🤔 If you’re an Escher fan, and you want a thought-provoking, beautiful, calming puzzle game, this is it. Excellent in every way: simple, beautiful imagery; subtle, complimentary sound FX; increasingly challenging, mind-bending 3-d puzzles. One of my fave mobile games ever. EDIT: […]

Kinda disappointed.. you only get 10 levels and then afterwards they charge you $1.99 for 8 more.. I already paid $3.99 why am I not getting the full game.. then they give you only one more level for free (which was the best and most challenging) but other than that the game is fun just […]

Delightful game and one of the few paid mobile games I recommend to friends (despite its short length). Art is beautiful. Game runs smoothly. The puzzles are challenging without getting frustrating. The sound design is phenomenal (honestly, the only one I wish I could tweak would be the crow sound as the rest really adds […]

I haven’t smiled this much at a game in a long time. The gameplay is fun and innovative, the music and sound design are lovely, and the characters are adorable to look at. This whole game breathes style, and it’s great to see that some creators still have artistic vision these days. It’s short, but […]

This is the most genuine, fun, well rounded game I’ve played in years. When I say the puzzles are just enough of a challenge, I mean that. The game challenges your brain and really gets your cogs turning (pun intended), but not so much that you’re overwhelmed and close the game immediately. The game rewards […]

4/2019: still need more levels! This is the best puzzle game. It takes you out of your mental comfort zone, making you think outside the box. I received as a free app from Amazon, but couldn’t buy the follow-up “Forgotten Shores”, so I deleted that and PURCHASED it. I never buy game apps, and just […]

Probably the best puzzle game ever! Not only does it challenge your brain, but it also relaxes you at the same time! It has an actual story that’s revealed during the ten main levels you play. The game is based entirely on perspective, which makes it stand out from all the other puzzle games. It […]

I really enjoyed Monument Valley, playing through the entire game, it’s additional adventure, and it’s $2.99 DLC over two evenings while watching TV with the wife. I’ve always loved Escher-like art, and this was a fun and relaxing puzzle game that gave the opportunity to explore such setpieces. The game is familiar to Fez in […]

It’s the best! I’ve finished it twice. It’s very trippy, ethereal, clever, and beautiful. I adore the puzzles! I played the second game as well, and that was also amazing! (I believe there were some cute extras as well?) The only complaint I have about the game is that it is tragically short. I would […]

This is an exceptionally amazing game! The solutions to the puzzles seem impossible at first, but are so seeming right there as you walk your path and manipulate the path to different view points. How some of them came together had me say “Wow, that’s amazing!” on more than one occasion. This game makes your […]

i don’t even know where to start! the design, both visual and audible, is beautiful! the story is intriguing, the puzzles are brain bending, the colors are beautiful! the forgotten shores puzzles are so cool. totem’s arc is amazing! i was so sad when he was lost and when i got the final puzzle, and […]

Best app game I have ever played, bar none. I haven’t yet played the sequel, but I have a feeling it’s the only thing that could rival the joy of this game. Lovable characters, gorgeous scenery, and tricky puzzles. What more could you want? Playing it is like exploring an MC Escher painting in 3D […]

I agree with others that this is an awesome game… for about an hour. I rarely buy games, with so many good free ones available, but this looked interesting. I really enjoyed the gameplay, visuals, etc., but it’s just over so quickly. Would love to see more levels or even just more components to the […]

Man i’m not gonna lie, i played a game similar to this and i was skeptical about it, but this is the most vexating puzzle game i have ever played. Simple, but beautiful graphics. Challenging and stimulating gamplay. Intriguing and interesting story. If you have a few bucks, get the DLC, it’s all worth it. […]

Not only is this game beautiful, but the quality of the puzzles is wonderful. Playing with perspectives, interacting with elements, and seeing how everything changes makes it interesting and enjoyable. I finished it in a day, and I’m left wanting more. (Purchasing the additional levels is worth it, plus you’ll be supporting the creators of […]

This game is super creative, the vibes are chill, the art style is pretty. The puzzles are quite linear and a bit simple for my tastes, though there were a few that challenged my perspective and forced me to think outside the box. Also a bit short at only ten chapters though I do plan […]

I honestly didn’t think I would like this game, but the reviews were so good, I tried it. I was wrong. What an intriguing game! The graphics are beautiful, the storyline is touching, and solving all of the geometrical puzzles was mind-blowing. I’m definitely playing all of their other content now! Wow 👌

I really enjoyed playing this game! It was more than a game, it was an experience. The puzzles were unique with just the right amount of difficulty, and the music fit extremely well (which tbh I usually play with games on mute). And the story was mysterious and brief but kept me wanting to know […]

I’m not one to play a game more than once; mostly since knowing what is going to happen and many of the puzzle answers makes repeat play unappealing to me. But, this game is one I found myself playing through more than once. (fourth time, now.) I enjoy the calming play and optical illusionary puzzles […]

I absolutely love this game and the one following. If you love puzzles combined with amazing optical illusions you must get these games. Kudos to the devs for outstanding work. Both games have given me hours of enjoyment and I have played them multiple times. I play and then let sit for 6 months to […]
