Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Choice
We couldn’t wait to go back to the land of twisty towers and uncanny beauty—and this sequel didn’t let us down. With its striking colours and level design, it’s even more stunning than the first game. New elements like light beams and controlling two characters make the puzzles even trickier. The bond between that mother and child is what we’ll remember most, though—their relationship moved us in a way few games do.
Value
It's interesting how people value games. Many of these reviews complain about the cost being too high and yet admit they've been entertained by it for 2 hrs. And yes I suspect they will happily pay £2.80 for a Costa coffee which will last them half an hour. The value should never be judged by time alone. It reminds me of the man who paid £50 to his dentist for a filling which took the dentist 10 mins to complete. The man complained saying that it was a lot for 10 mins work. The dentist replied that he could take twice as long next time!
The value in this game lies in the ingenuity of it. Some of the complexity is staggering and beautiful. Part of the problem is that many of the people who have played the other versions are now adept at solving these problems and it must be harder and harder to come up with new problems to stump people with.
In my view I think it is one of the most beautiful well-thought out games on the App Store - congratulations to the developers.
Beautiful game but not quite worth the money - and where are the developers?
Monument Valley P1 had me enthralled from the second I saw the POTUS playing it on House of Cards. Having loved the first one very much, I was very excited to see a second one was coming. Sadly, while the delicacy and beauty of the first one is alive here, I have to agree with other reviewers - it’s far too short for the money asked for and nowhere near as challenging as the first. Coupled with the fact it constantly - and I mean constantly - crashes when I load it up on my iPhone XR, this has really tarnished my excitement - and my enjoyment - for the second instalment. I’ve tried to contact the developers about this but as yet I’m yet to receive a response. I appreciate a game like this doesn’t happen overnight, but for the £4.99 price tag I expect a game to a) not crash a dozen times on a new model iPhone before it’ll finally boot and b) a bit longer and more challenging akin to the first. It’s a stunning game, that can’t be taken away, and the mother-daughter storyline is beautiful. But it just feels like the developers are resting on their laurels of the first and that’s it. Such a shame.
