“Monument Valley, I wish I had played it on mobile when I was young. I can't forget how it used to pop up in the store every day and I would ignore it. It exceeded my expectations; it's so beautiful. No seriously,…”

“A beautiful game about illusions and impossible geometry. The puzzles are not very difficult and it is split into manageable levels. I think pretty much anyone can enjoy this game.”
“Its a very pretty game. But, the puzzles are very easy and the difficult ones can be solved with random clicking.”

“a classic puzzle game. a bit frustratingly slow with its animations sometimes and can ocassionally be too easy.”
“A bit on the fence for me, I liked the atmosphere and the vibes. The puzzles itself were a bit simple and more meant to be visually appealing then mentally challenging. The 100% wasn't anything crazy and its just…”

“Don't play if you have headache”
“I feel like it was fun but it didn’t really use its own concept to its fullest which leads to a fairly limited experience for the most part. Vey much slightly above average puzzle game. Make sure to get on sale though”
