Wow,Wow,...Wow! – Monument Valley Review

I stumbled upon this game, while looking for another game. I'm not much of a gamer. So take that into consideration when reading this. Most games don't hold much interest for me since they are about battling or racing against a clock. If I get involved in a game, it has to be relaxing. This game is abundant in great design, a simple, yet mysterious narrative, with visually amazing problem solving, and a really fitting, ambient soundtrack. I love that it plays on the art of M.C. Escher (a learning opportunity when playing it with my 7 year old.) My son and I actually gasped at certain areas of discovery. I must underline the fact that 'Ida' doesn't have to physically battle Bosses or have to keep repeating levels from being killed. Yes, I'm talking about you, factory robot! My two sons, who are both typical gamers, think this game is awesome. We can't wait to savor the additional add-on and Monument Valley 2.
