Monument Valley is worth considering if you enjoy visual discovery and architectural puzzles. Its most useful selling point is the kind of decision it asks you to make, rather than how many rewards or features a store page can list.
What kind of game is it?
Ida travels through architectural puzzles built around visual perspective and apparently impossible geometry.
The scene itself is the problem. Looking again at a staircase or path can be more productive than acting faster, making visual interpretation the main source of discovery.
Who is it likely to suit?
The best match is a player who wants visual discovery and architectural puzzles. Think about whether that activity is something you would enjoy repeating after the novelty of a new download has passed. A setting can attract you initially, but the recurring activity determines whether you stay.
The main trade-off
Players seeking an indefinitely expanding account or a competitive ladder should look elsewhere. Its appeal is a deliberately composed puzzle journey.
An alternative to consider
The Room is another option if you want to explore a neighbouring style of play. Intricate objects, hidden mechanisms and a mysterious setting turn close inspection into a sequence of discoveries. The useful comparison is the activity you prefer, rather than which game appears to offer the larger list of features.
