The Lost Forest is a special chapter created to protect trees as part of Playing for the Planet’s Green Game Jam. It consists of four intimate scenes that aim to inspire players to sign the Play4Forests petition and show their support for forest conservation. The new update hopes to engage players in preserving our forests and their natural beauty.
In this game, players guide a mother and her child on a journey through magical architecture, discovering illusionary pathways and solving puzzles while learning about the secrets of Sacred Geometry. It is a sequel to the award-winning Monument Valley and offers a brand new adventure in a beautiful and impossible world. Players help Ro teach her child about the mysteries of the valley, exploring stunning environments and manipulating architecture to guide them on their way.
The game has received praise from various sources, with WIRED calling it “subtly more sophisticated than its predecessor” and POLYGON describing it as “little vignettes of a surreal world that works its socks off to make me happy”. POCKETGAMER has also hailed it as “one of the best gaming experiences available on any device, let alone mobile” and DESTRUCTOID was “enraptured by everything I saw and heard”.
Monument Valley 2 is a standalone adventure, meaning players do not need to have played the first game to enjoy it. It offers individually crafted puzzles that are both beautiful and meditative, with brand new interactions that explore the changing dynamics between characters. The game also boasts contemporary visuals, with artwork inspired by a mix of architectural styles, artistic movements, and personal influences, all translated into stunning geometric structures. Additionally, players can immerse themselves in uniquely melodic interactive soundscapes that are tailored perfectly to every step of Ro and her child’s journey.
It is important to note that Monument Valley 2 is only compatible with devices running Android 4.4 or later. So, if you want to experience this beautiful and thought-provoking game, make sure your device meets the requirements.
