We all remember with a certain fondness the first installment of Monument Valley, a game that in its day marked a before and after in Android games for its great overall quality as an entertainment application and, although lately its successor, Monument Valley 2, has had some serious problems with the piracy that surrounds us on Android, we already have an official date so that this game is ready to download on the Play Store.
Monument Valley 2 for November 6th
It was released a few months ago for Apple's operating system, so we already know what it will be like and all its features, but we were still eager for this new installment to be released on our native platform and to be able to play it with our own hands And this day has come, well, it has been announced, we are talking about the next November 6thFurthermore, the sequel is betting on a a completely independent story of the first part so that anyone can enjoy it without having played the original.
This is the new version with new graphics, new style of play and new levels so we can enjoy this saga even more, so to speak:
We'll also see it on the Amazon app store At the same time, although we all know it's not particularly relevant. If we take a look at their trailer, which you'll see below, you can see that this time the guys from ustwo have earned good recognition for the work of art they've created, since ultimately it's an improvement on a game that already had a very high bar to clear and from which we all expected a lot. Visually, it looks stunning. impossible architectures and an ambient soundtrack that enhances each scene, and we can say that it has not disappointed the gamers most familiar with this game.

How much will it ultimately cost?
This is where I see this section somewhat excessive, the final price will be 4,99 euros for our market and I honestly think it should be something cheaper. To tell the truth, it is something that is justified -in addition to its great quality- for the great piracy that we are surrounded by and it is really a shame.
It's important to keep in mind that this is a game. premium and complete, no ads and no in-app purchases, designed to be played even Without connectionIt was released on iOS 5,49 Euros And on Google Play, it usually stays within a similar range, although it may vary slightly depending on region and taxes, and with occasional discounts during special campaigns. Those who register on their Play Store profile activate the availability notice on launch day.
It is a great pity that this happens and it is that if everyone who has played Monument Valley had surely paid their price this delivery would be cheaper and accessible to all of us. Undoubtedly, it is something that needs a solution and it is one of those things that in other operating systems does not happen as normally nor is it as widely extended as in Android ... What do you think about this?
New story, characters, and mechanics
Adventure invites us to guide Ro and her daughter through a surreal world of illusory perspectives. The relationship between the two drives a emotional narrative which works on its own, with chapters that act as visual metaphors for their growth and collective learning. Many players interpret the story as a possible prequel to the first Monument Valley, since we see its protagonists here. creating Sacred Geometry in each monument instead of restoring it.
At certain points, Ro resorts to the help of Doortem to explore memories and understand their past, reinforcing the introspective component of the work. All of this is supported by a minimalist art design, vibrant colors, and fluid animations that make each level feel like a interactive art piece.
- Creation of sacred geometry: Some phases allow the player to generate or complete structures to open new paths.
- Environments that respond to light: There are trees and elements that grow or shrink depending on the lighting available.
- Impossible perspective and scenario rotation: Architecture is transformed by moving pieces, connecting routes that seem separate.
- Cooperation between two characters: controlling mother and daughter introduces coordinated puzzles and new solutions.
This combination of mechanics and narrative is accompanied by a soundtrack which evolves with the rhythm of the puzzle and reinforces the contemplative tone. It's not a particularly long game, but its high density of ideasThe measured difficulty curve and its audiovisual component justify the proposal.
