Especially for its time, it was one of the most essential mobile games to play. Beautiful aesthetic, satisfying controls, and a fairly wistful story that's digestible and simple enough for a mobile title, but also pretty impactful. Its beauty and just a minor thing to interact with on workbreaks or waiting in line, it is an amazing mobile game.
Lembro de ter jogado quando era criança :0... fez uma pequena participação na minha infância, mas foi bem marcante 0: e finalmente pude rejogar e finalizar c: quando finalizava uma fase :0... nossa :0... +1 de QI kgkfkdks (o: brincadeira 0: mas as fases são bem divertidas, mesmo algumas sendo um tanto desafiadoras :0... não sei se foi por eu ter jogado com o meu cérebro um pouco desligado já que era madrugada kfkdk (o:
Es súper relajante. Con diferentes pluzzles, algunos más complejos que otros, los cuales requieren lógica pura en las mayor parte del juego, es una experiencia interesante y bastante hermosa de vivir. Desde los gráficos, la música tranquila y la forma incluso de narración, estamos ante un juego que trae paz mental al mismo tiempo que te invita a ejercitar el cerebro y la percepción. Ver más allá de lo obvio. Muy bueno.
Even though it's more than 10 years old now, Monument Valley is still very enjoyable to play, and which global tone, artistic direction and music hasn't aged a bit. The game is quite short, but each level stands on its own and they're all very well crafted. That being said, if you quickly accept those forced perspective mechanics, the puzzles will go by pretty fast and the cerebral challenge stays light. It's without saying that the authors took inspiration from FEZ when making this title, but it's way easier and less deep than the game from Polytron.
In any case, Monument Valley stays and excellent puzzle game and it will poke at your cortex just the right amount, while still being pleasing to your eyes and ears.
8/10.

Well, this is it - this might be the peak of smartphone gaming. Monument Valley is an absolutely beautiful mobile game that focuses on challenging the player through mazes and optical illusions to learn more of their own story and purpose. The use of storytelling as well as the phone’s touch screen and general formatting results in Monument Valley being one of the best in the smartphone gaming library. The player works with the puzzles they’re given through taps and contorting the map to their advantage, all to get from point A to point B. The story is simple but still emotional enough to create a reaction.
It’s hard to critique the game, as the flaws it has don’t really rely on the game itself, rather the limitations that being on mobile hinders a game, even though this is the format they chose when designing it. The issues Monument Valley runs into are its short playtime and lack of replayability, with me finishing the game in about 1-2 hours. Since it is a phone game, I imagine you’re supposed to only play it in short bursts, but in my case, I played it in its entirety while on a long plane ride - so that’s more on me than the game itself, honestly.
Monument Valley is an absolute must-play for those looking for the “best of the best” in phone games, and is a gorgeous trip from start to finish. It feels a little odd rating it so high for being so short and putting it at the same score as some pretty large epics in gaming, but when rating I like to compare games to their peers which in this case falls into mobile gaming. The real question now is will I find a phone game worthy of being 5/5… or more so am I ready to admit that the original Plants vs Zombies might be exactly that lol. Well, we’ll see - in the mean time, why not entertain yourself with one of the prettiest games to ever grace the App Store.
4.5/5

o jogo é muito bonitinho e tem uma história bem tocante, altamente recomendável por sua simplicidade de gameplay que não fica enjoativa passadas algumas fases, os últimos niveis podem ficar um tanto desafiadores mas não é nada q leve dias pra se resolver (e no mais, se não conseguir passar, vê no youtube a resolução do puzzle porque no fim esse jogo não é totalmente focado em ser desafiador).
