But most of all, I remember how much I liked it and how different it was from other options at that time. Today, a decade later, Monument Valley 3 just came out.

“Monument Valley 3”, another work of art

If you’ve played any of Monument Valley, you’ll appreciate its quality. It changed that 10 years ago, bursting onto the mobile market as a quiet game that could run on all mobile phones and in which graphics didn’t matter much. While the rest of the series struggled to be as crazy as possible and offer incredible 3D rendering quality, Monument Valley went its own way.

He suggested gameplay calm, with great soundtrack and a series of very well designed puzzles. Complexity wasn’t a trademark, but it didn’t matter much given the clever maneuvers and cards she had at her disposal. Each turn on the map was better than the last, and without words or complicated cutscenes, the entire game told an interesting story.

They wanted to keep playing you found almost no points of disappointment and nothing disturbed the harmony of its graphics, animation and soundtrack: there were no advertisements, and it forgot all those trappings of menus, buttons and attractive colors to sell more.

In fact, I can stop speaking in the past tense because the first minutes I was able to play Monument Valley 3 They reminded me of everything I loved about the first two parts.

And if this is your first encounter with this saga, you should know that now is worth a try. It’s free with Netflix. It was considered the best mobile game at the time, and one of the servers praised this milestone.
