Well that was a bolt out of the blue wasn't it? Monument Valley 2 didn't just get announced yesterday, it got released as well. And it's really rather special. Which obviously means it's time for some content.
I thought it'd be a good idea to round up everything you need to know about the game in one handy place, so you're fully prepared for what's to come when you leap in. And you should leap in. Oh please leap in.
Don't worry though, there aren't any spoilers here, because that would be a horrible thing to do. You can click on the emboldened name of the game below to grab it from the App Store. And I assure you, you really should.
What is it?
It's the sequel to one of the finest mobile games the App Store has ever seen. It's a slick platforming puzzler that you control with taps and swipes. You're moving the levels around so your character, or in some cases characters, can make it to the exit.
Of course there's much more to it than that, but I don't want to go into too much detail about the story, because it's definitely the sort of thing you'll want to discover for yourself. Trust me on that.
How long is it?
It's a little bit longer than the original Monument Valley, but not by much. You'll probably have polished the game off in a couple of hours. But those are going to be the best couple of hours you've had on your phone in a good long while.
While the game might be linear, it still feels like you're going on a massive advenutre. And there are some truly heartbreaking and awe-inspiring moments crammed into its run-time.
How much does it cost?
The game will set you back £4.99 / $4.99 from the App Store. To put that into context though, you'd spend a lot more on going to the cinema. And Monument Valley 2 is going to provide you with a good deal more entertainment than most blockbusters.
Do I need to have played the original?
Not at all, although it will certainly add to your playthrough if you have. The narrative here is fluid, and it's almost all down to your own interpretation of events. Still, you should definitely play the first one at some point, because it's really good.
Anything else?
Nope I think that pretty much covers everything. You can read the Pocket Gamer review of the game by clicking the link below. Oh, and make sure you check out our video coverage of the game as well. Because we put a lot of work into it and it'll show us you care.
