Monument Valley 2 builds upon the brilliance of the original game, delivering another visually stunning and emotionally resonant experience. Like its predecessor, it features beautifully crafted levels filled with mind-bending puzzles, but it adds new layers of complexity by introducing a second character, which enhances both the gameplay and the narrative.

While the first Monument Valley was groundbreaking in its design and atmosphere, Monument Valley 2 feels even more refined. The addition of the mother-daughter duo adds a unique dynamic, making the puzzles more engaging and the story more personal. The visuals are just as mesmerizing as before, but there’s a greater sense of warmth and intimacy in this sequel.

I think the second game is even more beautiful, and playing with two characters makes it more interesting and less drawn-out. The first one, for me, started to feel a bit tedious towards the end. Also, the story in the second game resonated more with me compared to the first.

Overall, Monument Valley 2 is a worthy successor that not only honors the original but also expands upon its ideas in meaningful ways. If you enjoyed the first game, this sequel is a must-play, offering a fresh yet familiar experience that is both captivating and moving.

Personal rating 8/10 - Perfect sequel

trippy but pretty

Just like the first game, this is a series of fairly easy but nonetheless beautiful and satisfying puzzles. A small improvement over the first, except for one gamebreaking glitch that had somehow STILL not been fixed (as of January)-- In the epilogue, my character refused to step onto a required platform until I executed a bizarre workaround that made up at least a quarter of my playtime. I know I'm not the only one this has happened to, as it was a helpful forum that helped me finally reach this solution. This bug keeps you from progressing altogether and has not been fixed afaik, so I cannot recommend this game until I know this has been fixed.
