Monument Valley Reviews

Ok do not get me wrong it is a great game but there is one problem I have many experiences with monument valley one mostly because it was the first game I ever played and with the + added I was hoping for more content but it is the exact same so I just want tell you that if you have a Apple Arcade you can get this without having to pay money for the other one because it is the exact same but if your just reading Apple Arcade descriptions to see if you want Apple Arcade but if you do not get Apple Arcade but still want this game just pay for it singly (sorry for the misspells)

I’ve played a lot of games like Brain Test, Brain out and things like that but they aren’t ever really fun. This game is different, it’s easy and hard at the same time. In this game there’s balance. If you work hard and long to beat a level, instead of being given a completely different hard level, you get a similar one. Because the levels are similar in their own way, you build the mindset and skills to play the harder ones. It makes this game a lot of fun. The only thing I would change if I could would be to MAKE IT LONGER. Both Monument Valleys are the best. I’ve played the extra levels in Monument Valley and the special tree level in Monument Valley 2, but I want more. I just wish these games didn’t end. Thank you so much developers for everything you do. I don’t know how you did but you have made the BEST GAME EVER. I know you have to read bad comments to improve your game, but don’t let them get you down. I’ve played this game multiple times and have seen no problem in it. Thanks again developers! (Sorry if this is too long)

Monument Valley and its sequel are fantastic games! The puzzles vary from easy to difficult. Some required me to set the game aside for a day and come back with fresh mind and eyes so that I could think further outside the box.

I also like the simple story. And, I loved the story in the sequel. I hope the studio comes out with something else. I usually don’t do this, but I actually recommended these games to irl friends. They are that good!

This game was very challenging yet relaxing to play and rewarding when you finally understand what it takes to complete the board.

I just completed the game in its entirety and now wish I had taken it slower to enjoy it longer. If you love brain teasing puzzle games ,this is definitely worth a shot. Great job devs, I really enjoyed your game.

Ps….. if you like this game and you finish it, last campfire is another great one to try.

So good I had to leave a review. I love strategy & puzzle games. I’ve never played anything like this before and didn’t know what to expect. I love that you can’t die... you just have to keep trying until you figure it out. Each level is so different from one another. Challenging and fun. I found myself smiling and impressed with the creative genius there creators put into this game. So addicting, in the best way ever.

I originally downloaded this game because I thought it was another simple tower tap game, but I was definitely pleasantly surprised from the very beginning!! As an art kid and stressed student, this game was both calming and intriguing. The level design and mechanics of the game are so unique and makes you actually think, without being too complicated or boring. Every level is beautiful and tied with an interesting story. I cannot express how much I love this game! Thank youuuu! 😁

Hands down the best mobile game I’ve ever played. Some levels are tricky but in all the right ways. My mind is blown every time I open MonumentValley and every level is stunning. I’ve completed all the base levels and the paid ones. In total it offered me multiple hours of beautiful gameplay. I recommend it to anyone and everyone. Just such a unique take on a puzzle game that really knocks at my brain.

This and Monument Valley 2 are in my top 5 games EVER for the iPhone. Gameplay is relaxing, but having to figure puzzles out to help Ida move through her constantly-evolving world are the true genius of these games. With that said, I wish Apple or the developers would adapt this game to work on the AppleTV. These games are on my iPhone and my two M1 Macs (iPad versions), but being able to sit in my comfortable chair and play these games on my 65” TV through AppleTV would be truly amazing.

I have never in my life been so awestruck but a mobile game. This game follows a complex storyline that follows ida through a quest for redemption. The graphics are perfect for the style of the game, the twists and turns of the gameplay, everything about this game is beautiful. The color scale changes from level to level giving you a sense of being lost yet trying to search for something missing. Perfect for late nights and perfect for everyone who likes puzzles.

This is an extraordinary, unique, and calming game; at the same time it’s a mind-exercising puzzle game, without any violence or overly negative consequences (other than getting temporarily stuck) if you, the user, can’t solve whatever challenge the protagonist finds herself in…I just love it, and the MC Escher-like graphics and designs, combined with the soothing (even haunting) Eno-esque ambient music, make me very interesting in learning about the people behind making this, as it is clearly a labor of love.

I barely ever write reviews on any apps at all, but I just had to review Monument Valley. I remember playing this game when I was younger, and coming back to playing when I grew older is one of the best decisions I’ve made. The games visuals are simple but stunning in a way you usually don’t see in mobile games, and the puzzles were simple but fun and engaging to play over and over again. Most importantly, when I played this game when I was younger, I barely payed any attention to the storyline and character interactions, but they honestly make the game. Ida’s simplistic but elegant design paired with her story and her ‘Quest for Forgiveness’ give the game a whole new meaning, and the lore is both simple but complex at the same time. Not to mention her interactions with Totem and the spirit are simple but meaningful, all of this while being completely silent. Overall, this is a stunning game that I am glad I came back to rediscover, same goes for Monument Valley 2 as well, and I hope everyone who plays feels the same way.

I suffer from severe insomnia. With that said I decided to try a game on arcade and came across this one. It’s beautifully simple, yet complex. I found myself enjoying the relaxing music and adventure. I slept like a baby after the first night playing it. I was shocked. I was also disappointed when it ended. I hope I find other relaxing puzzle games just like this. This would be the only reason I would subscribe to arcade. Thank you for helping this really busy Mommy finally get some rest!

If you’re anything like me, you’ve seen this game many times. It’s on your list of “when the times right” games. It took me two years of noticing it but never diving deep enough to actually download it and give it a shot.
My god, this was some of the best “gaming” experience I’ve had in a very long time! The time is now, enough of the “next times”. Especially because it’s offered on Apple Arcade!
The first and only game I’ve played on the 12.9” M1 iPad, and for good reason. Good work to everyone involved!

So when I was a bit younger I had the original game it’s costs money and I was obsessed with it a couple years later I found out this game came out so all I wanted to do was play it I tried it out and it was amazing!!! I love games with mystery’s in them but not really murder mystery and once I saw in the desc it said a quest for forgiveness I knew this was my type of game the way the characters walk are very smooth the design is amazing and just the gameplay itself is awesome 👏 I recommend this game if your into puzzles and mystery this is a five star game

If I could give this more than five stars I would. It is so well thought out(and challenging), while still being simplistic and beautiful. The sounds are amazing when using headphones. The optical illusions and depth perception factors are amazing addition to the game that makes finishing a level that much more satisfying. The ending of monument valley is quite the treat if you followed the story well. Each and every second of this game is simply an adventure and it is well worth buying Apple Arcade to play this. One of the best mobile games I have ever played.

Everything in and around this game is wonderful. It has plenty of very unique, varied, and incredibly creative screens (little storied scenes) to solve. It’s funny at times, they’re awesome brain teasers with perfect and very colorful graphics and smooth execution. With all that stimulation, I am sure I increased my brain power! Congrats on creating the perfect hours-long entertainment! Sometimes I was afraid I would not be able to finish the three full games included, but with patience and perseverance I actually did which was a relaxing feeling at the end.

I bought both Monument games in the past and now I’m so excited Apple Arcade has brought it into the subscription. As soon as I saw this was available, I immediately downloaded and started to play. This is a game you can replay a few times without it getting boring or repetitive. I like to play this game when I need to relax, especially before bed. It doesn’t put you to sleep, it’s just very calming and immersive. There is a storyline that you will follow, I believe the developers are mothers who created the characters (especially the 2nd Monument Valley) with the vision of their young children. It’s a gorgeous game, I really do believe everyone should try it out.

I was blown away by the design of this game. The premise and objectives are super simple, but the visuals are so complex and disorienting at the same time. There are no instructions how to play, but that’s part of the puzzle. And I love how the story unfolds little by little, it takes a while to figure out what’s going on and who the characters represent. You can finish all the levels in a day, but it’s well worth the time. The Escher-esque levels really make you think. It’s a physics-bending game of perspective. Also If you like this type of mechanical puzzle game, give Mekorama a try. It’s very similar but without the story, and you can even design your own levels.

Touching emotional brain teasers needs no Internet always so good. Also make sure you get Monument Valley 2 because it’s another great story and I am responding to someone else’s review with the little 🌈 and talking about the spoilers. and like your whole theory so I believe it is a whole different story but you did a good job of understanding it. Monument Valley and Monument Valley 2. our separate stories both touching and emotional except I’m not photosensitive so I can’t cry with either of them is kind of frustrating but yeah so always get it. Totally recommend get it now. If you have enough space just don’t try to get it if you don’t have enough space but otherwise you should probably get it and if your photos sensitive be prepared to cry.😭

Really loved everything about this one, it’s beautiful, fun and has an interesting concept. I understand that it’s probably pretty tough to set up these levels, but I felt the game was still way too short and didn’t go as far as it could in exploring the game concept.
Regardless, it’s a 5/5, best mobile game I’ve ever played by a wide margin
