Steam reviews

What players say

Most players recommend it for its beautiful art, music and calm puzzles, but many find it shorter and easier than the first two games.

Many players praise the visuals, colour palettes and soundtrack, and say the game is relaxing and easy to enjoy in a few sittings. Puzzles that play with perspective and twisting architecture are still the core, and some reviewers like the new sailing segments and the memory-collecting side content with the villagers. The main complaint is length and difficulty: many players say the game is short, that the puzzles are simpler than in the first two titles, and that some levels repeat familiar ideas. Some find the boat controls clumsy and the story heavy or sentimental. Reviews from the last year are a little more mixed than Steam's overall rating, with several newer players saying the game feels thin for its price, while others call it a worthy continuation of the series.

Praised

  • Beautiful art and colours

    Reviewers praise the striking colour palettes, isometric visuals and polished animation that make each diorama memorable.

    Many players
  • Soothing music and sound

    Players describe the soundtrack and click sounds as calming and a key part of the relaxing atmosphere.

    Many players
  • Relaxing, clever puzzles

    Players enjoy perspective-based puzzles that are challenging enough to engage them without causing frustration.

    Many players
  • New mechanics and sailing

    Reviewers like the new mechanics and the boat sailing segments, which add variety to the familiar puzzle formula.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Short and easy

    Reviewers say the game is brief and that the puzzles are simpler and less demanding than in the earlier entries.

    Many players
  • Repetitive puzzle design

    Players feel the levels reuse ideas from earlier games or rely on simple switch-and-walk patterns.

    Some players
  • Clumsy boat controls

    Players find the boat steering imprecise, especially with a mouse, and say it slows down the sailing sections.

    Some players
  • High price for the content

    Reviewers say the price is high for a short game and suggest waiting for a discount.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suits players who enjoy calm, beautiful puzzle games and fans of the earlier Monument Valley titles who want more of the same look and feel.
Who should skip it
Players seeking long or demanding puzzles should skip it or wait for a sale, since many reviewers find it short and easy.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with more hours tend to find the puzzles too easy and the content too thin, while some newer players appreciate the gentle difficulty.
