  • Monument Valley Full Game - there aren't many games with integrity for mobile (iOS or Android) devices, much less good puzzle games. But Monument Valley breaks that mold, bringing us amazing optical illusion perspective puzzles inspired by M.C. Escher.

    I should mention that there are several VERY good puzzle games with a mobile version (A Monster's Expedition, Snakebird, and The Room series for example), but if we're talking mobile-exclusive puzzlers, Monument Valley is hard to beat.

      It is a great game, I wanted to mention. there is a bonus level with this game that you didn't see, I know you wont go back on stream to play it, but I suggest playing it on your own time if you have time, it is a very fun level

    The Monument Valley games are absolutely phenomenal. I love them very dearly. The time, love, passion, effort and thought that went into each individual level. The use of impossible geometry and architecture, and having to manipulate it to open paths to continue.
    The OST, and the ambiance it carries.
    And above all else. The stories for each of the 2 games.
    Ustwo Games really did knock it out of the park with these mind-bending, illusion puzzle games. And I can't thank them enough. Absolutely gorgeous...

  • @Anonymous-ph5nl

    29:59 That would be awesome. A VR Experience of Monument Valley, where you are Ida, and on your non-dominant hand is an interactable map of the area, your dominant hand is how you move the level, and then you navigate yourself. I think that would be a worthwhile experience to wonder at.

    • @jonatandjurachkovitch460

    Monument Valley was the first ever mobile game that I desperately wanted to buy, to the point where I begged my mom to buy it (she didn't in the end). I gave up after a few days of desperate begging, and after like 4 years, I saw it on the app store for free for a limited amount of time. I Iiterally jumped in joy, downloaded it, and spent the next 6 hours playing through the entire game. It was as amazing to play as I imagined when I first saw it.

    Monument Valley was the first online game I EVER remember playing and I had forgotten its name until I saw this (Tho that was back in 2021) I never thanked you then so... Thank you...

      I didn't even notice that only certain channels have the feature currently. The two I've seen so far(including Tyler's) are both gaming channels.
