Beautiful Game made for Young Kids – Monument Valley 2 Review

My personal rating is a 3/5 stars, but I can’t in good conscience rate such a beautifully created game backed by a hardworking developer team with such amazing art and music that horribly officially. If you want a good experience I recommend either only playing Monument Valley the Original or playing this one first before playing the original. It might give you a few aha! moments and this game will ease you into the first one. Monument Valley 2 is to me a almost entirely remodeled game aimed at kids, with only slight references to the 1st game. It is so unbelievably easy I can solve most puzzles with little to no thinking and the story is so (much more) straightforward and obvious compared to the first game. The game was so unbelievably easy and the levels were so short or streamlined that I found the whole thing a little irritating. The graphics are also a lot simpler than the original one, which had huge complicated structures and beautiful backgrounds. This one has solid colors as the background, with skinny camels for structures for your character to walk on. Although it is understandable though because too much on the screen to focus on may confuse younger audiences, it is frustrating to go through. All in all a very simple game, the first one took a considerable amount of time to complete, as for this one, I spent about an hour and a half, mainly limited because of the time it takes to walk through the puzzles. Taking time to think took significantly less time than walking everywhere.
