iOS (iPhone/iPad) Critic Reviews

This is a deliciously tactile, malleable game. One of its levels is full of more ideas than most games on the App Store can cram into their entire run time. Plus it's beautiful. So very, very beautiful. I can't stress enough how good Monument Valley 2 is. It builds on what came before - in a very real way, it's a sequel about sequels. And its story about legacy cements ustwo's own position as one of the greatest developers working on mobile.

This is an outstanding game, a way to prove how narrative, gameplay and art design can work together to make an almost flawless experience.

If we gave subgrades for things like presentation and storytelling, Monument Valley 2 would get a perfect score and then some. It’s that good in those areas. It just falls a tad short of perfect in terms of an overall score because it is so short. Maybe the best way to sum it up is like this: as a work of art, it’s nearly unparalleled — but as a game, it’s just a bit less.

With this new and charming tale, Ustwo unexpectedly proved to have a lot more to say in the universe of Monument Valley.

If you want a puzzle game that will test you, this isn't for you. If you just want something that you can interact with in order to get rewarded with interesting themes and gorgeous artwork, Monument Valley 2 succeeds at that. But if Ustwo ever explores this world again, I think there's a gap between the gameplay and the art that could be crossed to make this the masterful experience these games have just barely fallen short of being in my eyes.

One of the best games you can purchase right now on any mobile device. A bit pricey, but really awesome and enjoyable.

Fantastic adventure, journey of knowledge, flawless puzzle game, a piece of art ... All names fit to the Monument Valley II, the sequel of the 2014 mobile hit. If you can, buy it and play it.

The visuals are breathtaking like the original, but with much more vibrant tones. The soundtrack is engrossing and adds to the experience, and the controls are easy enough for anyone. The original Monument Valley was a monumental experience for me, and this sequel only reinforces that.

Monument Valley 2 is an experience that conveys the same sense of wonder and amazement of the first chapter.

Consistently enchanting. [Aug 2017, p.82]
