Monument Valley Android Review

There is something I like about my job. What sadomasochistic, will you tell me! Know first that my privacy is not binding my own person and he is not particularly labor itself. That little thing, that only nature can give you, remains the sun. Every morning, my office is well located, I can see it creeping, majestically through human structures posed boldly in front of him. Its rays fill my heart with new strength, a new desire, giving me almost want to cry with happiness at the sight offered. I am no longer a man but a poet at this moment. Until the "party blower pouets-" cars, creating a plug, just remember how many men, well, it's idiots.

A show spoiled, as others may be tempered, easily, for we humans. Fortunately, through art, painting, music, humans sometimes catch up. With a lot of talent, I want to point (a small thought for HR Giger who just recently left us). Sometimes they are also through video games such as Deemo. The ustwo studios (not to be confused with Northern studios Usky that many dog), with their most recent work, Monument Valley, will try to make us enjoy a little human performance are able to reproduce. As artists.

Visual Monument

Inspired by the works of Maurice Cornelis Escher, Dutch artist of the twentieth century, which saw the creation of impossible infinity in all its beauty motifs (small cultural shift that is what it is), Monument Valley is a small visual wonder . A nugget even.

These species of crows will not help, Monument Valley has a beautiful body

With its simple graphics, simple but beautifully drawn, well-animated sprites, and living almost equally animated monuments, Monument Valley is a little slap. It provides a simple, so mastered both in color than noise level, the game is transformed within seconds into an artistic work of great emotional value. 

Every movement, every sweaty groping of the screen is a full invitation to travel. And distraction, for a game must also entertain. It is even the essence of a game.

Gameplay not silicone (valley)

Equally simple, the gameplay has the elegance of Audrey Hepburn, far removed from these new silicone actresses who have nothing more natural outside their heart (and again).

No need to yell at me!

You run in extraordinary maze, Ida, a princess, whose goal is to reach the top of said maze. It's a real exploration that awaits and you will make the best use physical world around you with a simple finger swipe. Under the proposed alternating sham, optical illusions and improbable design mechanisms, reflection is almost mandatory, as is the sense of observation and practical sense to achieve your goals.

Some texts come to bring an extra touch of poetry

All answers to the finger and the eye, making it easy to your course, and discovering the little written history with your clueless princess, who is waiting for the palms of your hands to get by. Intuitive, addictive, simple. A little too simple?

Between artistic work and playful work

Monument Valley is a little between two stools. Excuse me this fleeting vulgarity, but the image is perfectly readable. Between artistic work and playful work, as I said by way (as Duke) title for this section.

Ambiance zen

By focusing on sobriety and the wonder, the developers did not build up the difficulty, but a natural progression. Thus, the frustration has no place in these settings. Everything is smooth. So smooth, just as, oh never, ever, you will not feel stuck. We would have liked a few more obstacles and pepper to that, like any self-respecting work, introspection does not come as easily.

In a rare elegance and poetry, Monument Valley really deserves that one is interested. Gameplay, ambient sound, graphics, all form an indivisible whole, a rather magical work eventually. Available for $ 3.59 euros, entirely in French, this is a good investment because the game pushes us towards a dream which we do feel any desire to leave. However, because of its ease, and its lack of levels, it will not achieve the maximum score. Ustwo, both of you, who hear me, add some levels to make the dream continues, and the asking price is completely justified and justifiable.
