Mother-Daughter Feels and Gorgeous Gameplay
ImpossibleQuestsCrossing
After playing Monument Valley II, I am a changed person. The game deals with the reality of letting go for mother and daughter as one is in the afternoon of her life while the other approaches twilight. Feelings of wabi-sabi-esque loneliness and the sheer joy of reunion are expressed by simplistically beautiful and dynamic characters. I recently returned home after four years of college and I now understand my Mom’s half of that experience because of a mobile game. Other than the amazing storyline, this game has a gorgeous soundtrack that sets the mood along with several different sound effects that correspond with the visuals. The puzzles are complicated but not impossible to keep users interested. When in doubt, think outside the box!
The visuals remain exceptional, but the challenge has diminished

I’m a big fan of the concept: the visual, mind-bending (and moving/actually bending) environments; the complimentary, otherworldly, atmospheric music; the (mostly implied) compelling storyline; and the hours of fun/challenge that can be had solving the geometric, illusion based puzzles that make up each setting/screen along the way. That said, when comparing this version to those previous, much of the challenge—and thus much of the time spent/ needed to solve puzzles and enjoy playing—has been removed. If you’ve played previous iterations, you’ll find most of the solutions repetitively simplistic. Worse yet, some screens/ levels involve no solving whatsoever—it’s simply point, click, and next screen. The result is that much of the enjoyment and value has been stripped away and, although you’re left with many beautiful moments, those moments are ultimately too short lived and relatively unsatisfying.
Beautiful and unique, but short.

I think the game is a stunning play between simplicity and beautiful animation, and I enjoy the puzzle style gameplay, but I was disappointed to have finished the game in one sitting. I thought about only giving this game three stars, but it’s just not a three star game regardless of lacking levels. I’m sure I’ll buy the third whenever that comes out.
Loved this game!!

This is an amazing game, I do have to say I am upset there isn’t way more levels to the game though.
Absolutely touching

It is strange to say that the moment he child appeared and jumped to hug Ro and started to follow her, my heart melted. It’s just really nice to experience the absolute trust and company they share in a magical, sometimes confusing world. A small suggestion to put a little “memory book” to re-live some of the moments.
Incredible all around

Can spend hours playing and replaying because it’s gorgeous for one, and two it’s so addicting to play and figure out. My only wish is that more levels were created or maybe even Monument Valley 3?
It made me cry

Better than the first Monument Valley

Sure, Monument Valley I was a great game, and surprised us with brilliantly designed geometric and storytelling. Monument Valley II, however, is something of another level. The storyline would definitely resonate with anyone who is growing up and learning to be an adult, or even those who have a child that is about to leave home. I highly recommend it!
