Monument Valley 2
Published: February 6, 2025
Monument Valley 2 is a serene puzzle adventure through impossible architecture. You guide a mother and child by twisting, sliding, and shifting the world.
It’s gorgeous, with pastel colors and a meditative soundtrack. No ads, no timers — just pure puzzles. It’s a premium game, and worth every cent.
I’ve stopped just to screenshot a scene. If you want calm, clever, beautiful gameplay, this is it. The puzzles gradually increase in complexity, introducing new mechanics without overwhelming the player. Hidden achievements reward curiosity. The game’s emotional narrative, conveyed through minimal text, leaves a lasting impression.
Here’s a bit more context from hands-on testing. We paid attention to onboarding, difficulty curves, and how the game explains its systems to new players. Controls were adjusted to suit both small and large screens, and we tried multiple networks to see how latency affects the experience. We also tested battery drain over thirty‑minute and one‑hour sessions. Monetization was judged not only by pricing, but also by how often the game interrupts you with offers, timers, or ad walls. Finally, we asked: does the game respect your time? Are sessions satisfying even if you have only ten minutes on the train? In short, it’s the balance of mechanics, performance, and respect for players that determines our score. When a title nails that balance, it becomes an easy recommendation; when it misses, we’ll tell you why.
