It's not just a game. It's art. The escheresque visuals are absolutely beautiful. The game is not hard, occasionally challenging but never frustratingly difficult. I find it pleasing to look at and very relaxing especially with the calming background music. The game play is a mix of Rubik's cube and Escher-like geometry. The actual story stays pleasently vague and mythical. The game is reasonably short with interesting variations. Not a waste of time but quite worth it.

Love it! Only complaint would be it got over too soon. I was expecting more levels. Nevertheless, it's a beautiful experience. I can't even imagine the effort it took to design the puzzles. I wonder how they verbally explained the idea to the team. Would've loved to be there. They probably used holograms but getting the idea executed so well is not easy. The puzzles are fun, you can finish it within a few hours.

Ah, how have I not written a review for this yet? We must fix that... Monument Valley is, now, a beautiful puzzle game that will delight you. When it was released, however, it was a transformative redefinition of what a mobile experience could be. This game was a massive turning point in the entire platform ecosystem, where ustwo looked at a sea of trash floating in bad UI, & rose the bar about 67 stories above, not just the competition, but the companies defining the platform. A true classic.
