Leave a Review Monument Valley 2
Incredible
This game is absolutely phenomenal. I remember falling in love with the first Monument Valley and was not at all dissatisfied with this second installment. The graphics and illustrations are so beautiful you can’t help but get lost on the world that these developers and artists have created. It is incredibly soothing with its colors, soft ethereal music, and smooth animation I absolutely love it.
The only thing is that game play was a little lacking on some levels and some puzzles were not nearly as hard as the first game, which means I finished playing it a lot faster than I would have liked to. But I would definitely be willing to support Ustwo Games for a stand alone journey, like Ida had or a third installment of this universe!Show lessTatianaA^.^
More please!
Loved MV1, picked up all the extras and generally am pleased with MV2.
Many comments about the level of challenge, so I went back and replayed MV1 and to be honest, it is about the same in terms of difficultly, perhaps Forgotten Shores had a teeny bit more to it, however, I feel that this type of game is an experience and a wonderful one at that. It should be enjoyed primarily on that basis.
My only honest gripe, is the inability to turn off just the music and not all sound, as for MV1. Music is good and complimentary for both MV1 and MV2 but there are times when I replay and I want to hear just the wonderful sound effects.
Overall, an enjoyable experience, I find relaxing and rewarding, with beautiful fluid graphics and story telling.
Having viewed the behind the scenes, I look forward to more of these and others characters that may not have made it to MV2 and the worlds that have been created.
Love the merchandise! Picked up a few pins :)
Fantastic job by the developers. Keep it up!!Show lessCRM-114
Better than the first, but...
...I thought the first was pretty awful, so....
I’m glad this was an improvement over the first so the bundle deal wasn’t completely infuriating, but there still just isn’t much here. The improvement is that one or two levels do actually have some puzzle elements towards the end instead of being an interactive animation straight through. Unfortunately, those are few and far between. Once again, if the “game” had just been categorized differently, it would not have been so disappointing. As it is, you have a great idea and mechanics that don’t have enough actual puzzles involved to fairly classify it as a puzzle game. Lovely, but just okay, not great, though a definite improvement over the first. I still can’t recommend it unless you understand that it’s largely an interactive animation without puzzles until almost the very end and extremely short. If you’re okay with that, give it a try, but I do not recommend the bundle and beg you to skip the first game.Show lessEarth Versus Soup
Loved it! 😁👍
Please please PLEASE make a third!!!! I love this game so much, of course the first in a series is always the best; but I think the second one is just as good! The graphics are stunning, and you want to explore their world. So a third Monument Valley would be amazing!!! I really like the other concepts you had for the second one, but I’m happy that you narrowed it down to a mother and a child.
I highly recommend this game, even though it costs money. It is worth every penny! Thank you so much for making such a thrilling experience. And please consider making a third!
P.S. I really love those pillar creatures, they are so cute but brave at the same time! They are just so loyal and willing to follow their friends, even to the end.Show lessCabledog369
Excellent but over too soon.
I had a hard time trying to figure out what score to give this game. Ultimately I settled on 3 starts for one reason, it’s much too short for the price. What’s here is an excellent, visually striking, heartwarming puzzle game. The art style is astounding and the music is just present enough to tug at your emotions while sill making things feel quiet and lonely. The puzzles are interesting and unique. None are terribly challenging but they’re all enjoyable. Unfortunately as amazing as this game is it also commits my number 1 gaming sin. There is no replay value at all. The game is about an hour long and once you’ve played through you’re just done. There’s no reason to play it again and seek out extra goodies or collectibles because there aren’t any. $5 is just too much for a 1 hour experience with no replay value. If it were $1 or $2 then I’d say go for it but even though $5 isn’t much it’s a little steep for a game that shows you everything it has to offer in 1 hour.Show lessHalefire101
Get again a masterpiece!
Well done to the team that made this! I didn’t think they could match the first monument valley, but they have definitely managed it. I think I might even prefer this one - the audio and visuals were stunning. I do wish it had been longer. It has quite a high price tag for such a short game, but if you compare the price tag to everyday items - let’s say two coffees, this definitely brings you more delight and joy than two coffees ever could. Well worth the money in my eyes.
Not sure I can wait for the next one, I am already experiencing withdrawals. The monument valley games are without a doubt the best iPad games I have ever played,Show lessLittle Miss Mobile
Stellar game - a must play
I stumbled upon Monument Valley a while ago, not knowing what it was, and taking a chance at the risk of a few dollars. Playing through MV 1 was a fantastic experience for me. The soundtrack was amazing and the puzzles were a slight challenge, yet ultimately calming in nature. So I quickly finished MV 1, targeting times when I was feeling stressed to whip it open and play a level or two in my spare time.
Fast forward to now, stumbling upon Monument Valley 2, and it was well worth the investment. The music hits every fibre of your being as you travel on this journey with mother and daughter in what seems like one of bonding, heartbreak, and discovery, and reunion in a package deal of fun mid level challenges all set for the purposes of calming the soul.
Personally I rate this 4/5 stars, mostly as I feel the level of challenge was lessened as compared to the first, and I thought it was a little short (even though I think there are more lvls in MV 2, it’s astounding that one can be so immersed in a story with no words and yet time flies past ever so quickly!)
If you are looking for a series of mid range challenging puzzles with an amazing story and a serene soundtrack to boot then don’t miss the opportunity to experience the Monument Valley duo. Thoroughly looking forward to what’s to come!Show lessTherank2100
Confusing storyline.
THIS GAME IS THE BEAT GAME OF ALL TIME!!!! I thought the first one was good, and then this one came!! As soon as I saw it in the App Store, I bought it! It was so fun! The levels were just the right amount of challenging, not to easy not to hard, but I have a few minor suggestions: the main thing I didn’t like was that the story lines are not clear. I have so many questions about MV1 and MV2. Is Ida the queen or princess of the crows? Why did she go on that whole adventure? Who was that ghost lady and why does she call Ida a “ thieving princess”. What is the ghost lady even talking about? And what does totem pole guy have to do with it? The story line in MV2 was a little clearer, but it had nothing to do with the first one.
Is Ro’s child Ida? Is Ro the ghost in MV1? Why does Ro have to leave her child? What were all the little sparks coming out of Ro’s hat? And I was also kind of disappointed when there were no bonus levels in MV2. In MV1 their was Idas dream and forgotten shores but there were none in MV2. But otherwise I loved it! Please consider what I said if you are going to make MV3 (which I hope you do) thank you 4 reading!Show lesskittygirlcupcake146
Hear me out.....
Ok so I had some pretty high expectations going into MV2, and don’t get me wrong it was a genuinely decent game. However, this game came no where close to even telling the story or having the gameplay of the original MV, and I say that because I feel as though MV2 was severely lacking in the element of gameplay that the first game had. For example, the original MV was much more challenging than MV2, and I feel like the developers had to sacrifice that gameplay element of challenging puzzles in MV2 to either attract more people or have a wider audience for the game, and there’s nothing wrong with that if done correctly. However I feel they didn’t do the best job of that. Anyways if you’re reading this and haven’t played the first MV just play it instead because it is better, but I have to say MV2 is still the successor to MV and you’ll probably want to play it anyway after playing the first one, or at least that why I wanted to.Show lessSpicyBoat Willie
Lovely game, overpriced
I found that this game was nicely designed, it included gorgeous music and it was challenging as well as fun to play. Although price doesn’t matter most of the time, I found this game to be overpriced. This is because it only took me around 2 hours in total to complete and i completed it within one day. I would have loved it to have more puzzles and content and there should be different ‘modes’ after you’ve finished it. Also, there was no ‘help’ button so if you got stuck you would just have to go off the app for a while before you go back on it and you’re brain will be ready again. It was fun to play and it had a good vibe to it. However, I am very disappointed with the amount of my pocket money that I spent on a game that didn’t last long at all. Wouldn’t recommend this if you want a game to last you a while.Show lessabby.c.27
