Monument Valley

[b]My Playtime:[/b] 2.2h (100% achievement, finished the game) [b]Grindy Achievement(s):[/b] No. [b]Optional Achievement(s):[/b] No. [b]Difficult Achievement(s):[/b] No. [h1]Intro[/h1] Monument Valley is a short puzzle game that puts your perspective into action. You'll be able to move or rotate some platforms in the level, which will allow your character to defy gravity and physics. [b]Pros:[/b] - 19 levels - Every level feels different from the other [b]Cons:[/b] - Slow, unskippable animations after you finish the level [b]Specs[/b] AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 16GB RAM, AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT [h1]Should you buy this game?[/h1] [i]If you enjoy playing short puzzle games, this game is for you.[/i] [hr][/hr] [h1]In-Depth Review[/h1] [h3]The Game[/h3] [b]Gameplay[/b] [i]Monument Valley[/i] lets you play in the shoes of Ida, who is trying to restore the monuments by returning the sacred geometry to its place. In doing so, you'll traverse through several monuments, stepping on switches and entering doors if necessary, to reveal more parts of the monuments. The game puts perspective into action. Places that you can't possibly reach might be reachable if you rotate the monument, hiding the gaps that were shown in between. Ida can only walk on places that you can see, meaning that they will be able to walk over pits if you can't see the pits in the path. The monuments are also designed to make it easy to change your perspective just by looking at them differently. If you know the Penrose triangle, the design is similar to that. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3617704125 The puzzles themselves are mostly straightforward because of this. The only thing limiting you is your imagination. You see a switch? Find a way to reach that. See a door? Do the same. Maybe you have to bend gravity and walk upside down to do that, but everything is possible as long as you can manipulate the environment around you the right way. One thing that I also want to note is its puzzle design. Other puzzle games usually feel the same after you play them several times, with them only changing a few things and making the puzzle harder. [i]Monument Valley[/i] isn't like that. Rather than difficulty, it tries to show different scenery in each level, making them look fresh. It's as if you are walking through different places and unraveling the puzzle one by one. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3617645649 [b]Length and Difficulty[/b] I finished the game in 2.2h. The puzzles are simple, although I found myself having issues finishing one of the levels. Still, you should be able to solve most puzzles with ease as long as you have a flexible mind. [b]Issues[/b] Sometimes, I find it hard to rotate the objects to the position that I want. Plus, while it looks great, I found the animation that was shown after you finish each level to be too long, and there is no way to skip it. [h1]Conclusion[/h1] [i]Monument Valley[/i] is a one-of-a-kind puzzle game. It's a short one that tests your ability to change your perspective. The design was made to be simple and solemn, even though the puzzle will blow your mind due to the perspective change. It's not a game that you enjoy because of the difficulty, but rather due to the game mechanics.

Steam Deck users rejoice this is a relaxing touch screen friendly game. Very accessible can be played with one finger but that finger must be able to touch with moderate motor control. You can tap many times without repercussion. The environment you are interacting with is quite small compared to the screen size.

not only is it cute and relaxing but also an incredibly well made puzzle game. manipulating the perspective is your road to success in this game and it will send you on quite the journey. once you get used to it the puzzle aspect almost disappears and the game turns into a smooth walk. at least until the next new mechanic requires you to think outside the box yet again. the game was finished and 100% completed after 2 1/2 hours and i had a real blast. it's pretty much a must-have if you have ANY interest in puzzle games! forward to my review of [i]Monument Valley 2[/i]: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Meister_Leuchte/recommended/1927740

有点剧情但不多，单纯是欣赏几何美学。相比于主线更喜欢附录！场景和谜题都更有趣了！ 打完所有的关卡（主线+附录+额外关）即全成就，游玩时间大概两三个小时（别问我的为啥四个小时 问就是又开着游戏干别的去了

Very polished puzzle game experience. The sounds effects blend really well with your actions and inputs. The way the platforms bend and twist together with some crazy geometry is truly brain tickling...

[b]게임 적합성 평가 보고서[/b] 제 387 호 ▶가격 [10/10] (이 게임은 얼마나 값어치는 하는가?) 8,600 원 ▶장단점 [28/30] (내가 게임을 통해 얻을 수 있는 건 무엇인가?) ▷장점 - 이게 미니멀리즘이지!! 초반에 게임사 인트로나 메인 화면 없이 바로 본론으로 들어간다! - 한국어를 공식 지원한다! (그리고 굴림체 같은 똥폰트로 아니라는 게 좋음). - 저사양 게임인데 연출이 부드럽다. - 브금이 평온하고 잔잔하기 때문에 듣기 좋다. - 각 조작마다 적절하게 효과음이 깔려서 역동적이고 생동감 있다. - 조작법이 간편하다. - 원하는 지점만 클릭하면 알아서 최단 경로로 움직이기 때문에 피로감이 덜 하다. - 분량도 DLC 포함해서 19개의 퍼즐밖에 없기 때문에 짧은 시간 동안 심심풀이로도 하기 좋다. 다만 이런 게임은 짧기도 하고 다큐처럼 즐기는 것이 좋기 때문에 한번에 쭉 하는 것을 추천한다. - 퍼즐마다 색감이나 환경이 바뀌는데 구경할 만하다. - 퍼즐 풀이 중 자연스럽게 스토리가 진행되어 몰입하는 데 방해 되지 않는다. ▷단점 - 연출 스킵 불가능. - 까마귀가 길막 하는데 한 대 쥐어 박고 싶다. - 5장 에서 입구 들어갔는데 캐릭터가 없어지는 버그 존재. - 9장 연출이 눈 아픔. - 원인 불명의 게임이 멈추는 버그가 있음. - 돌리는 회전식 밸브 조작감이 별로임. - 가끔 어디로 진행해야 하는지 명확한 가이드 라인이 나와있지 않아 흐름이 끊긴다. ▶신선도 [15/20] (돚거질을 한 비도덕적 게임이 아닌가?) - 원근법과 착시를 이용한 퍼즐 게임 (근데 비슷한 게임이 워낙 많아서). ▶개발사의 품위 [20/20] (개발사가 분조장에 유저와 기싸움을 즐기는가? 혹은 음흉한 일을 저질렀는가?) ▷유저와의 소통 - 문제 없다. ▷개발사의 잡음 - 없다. ▶평가자의 취향 [10/20] 모뉴먼트 밸리가 미국 콜로라도 주에 위치한 명소로 알고 있다. 지구상에서 가장 완전하고 아름답고 평화로운 곳으로 알려져 있는데, 이 게임이랑 관련은 없어 보인다. 그냥 적당히 하기 좋은 게임. 종합점수 [h3]83.0[/h3] 막 재밌지는 않음. 할 거 없을 때 할만한 정도. 여담으로 토템 귀여움.

Beautiful art and world building throughout, with simplistic gameplay. No real headscratchers of puzzles, but that suits the vibe well. Overall Monument Valley is worth checking out, although it's clearly better suited to a phone or tablet. Playing on my ROG Ally with touch controls really improved the feel of the game.

这就是艺术品啊啊，已玩完主线和被遗忘的海岸和艾达的梦，非常好玩，不查攻略自己摸索出来的感觉就很爽。然后这个艾达很可爱这个图腾也很可爱，这个乌鸦人大叫也是很吵嗯对。每一关的设计都挺有意思，我几乎每一关都要截图，真的很艺术。剧情也不是很晦涩挺好懂的，很推荐好吧
