The Monument Valley games are like a magical puzzle book that comes to life on your screen. You play as a silent princess named Ida, and your job is to guide her through a world of impossible shapes and mind-bending illusions.
Imagine a world where stairs lead upwards and downwards at the same time, and buildings twist and turn in impossible ways. That’s the kind of world you’ll explore in Monument Valley. To solve the puzzles, you’ll need to rotate and shift the world around you, creating new paths for Ida to follow.
The game isn’t just about solving puzzles, though. It’s also about the journey. The visuals are stunning, with a minimalist art style that’s both beautiful and mysterious. The music is calming and atmospheric, adding to the overall experience.
The original Monument Valley (2014) won awards from BAFTA, D.I.C.E., GDC, and Apple. Monument Valley 2 won The Game Awards’ Mobile Game of the Year for 2017. Both games were well-known for being sleek, simple, beautiful cozy mobile games, though they have come to other platforms since launch due to the game’s success and acclaim.
And now we finally have a Monument Valley 3 announcement! And it’s brought to you by Netflix Games.
What is Netflix Games?
Netflix Games is a gaming service offered by Netflix, the popular streaming platform. It’s like a buffet of mobile games, all included in your regular Netflix subscription. No extra fees, no ads, and no in-app purchases. So, if you’re a Netflix subscriber, you can now enjoy not only movies and TV shows but also a growing library of mobile games, all at no extra cost.
You can download and play these games on your smartphone or tablet. The games range from casual mobile titles to more complex strategy games. In particular, I’ve been noticing a lot of cozy games starting to pop up on the platform.
Netflix Games may never appeal to hardcore gamers, but I don’t think that’s the point. There is a huge audience of casual gamers—people who love Candy Crush or who only play Animal Crossing games—that I think Netflix can appeal to by offering a carefully curated selection of puzzle games, visual novels, and simulation.
For example, you can find Cozy Grove, Country Friends, Paper Trail, Storyteller, and Farming Simulator 23 on the platform right now.
