Monument Valley 2

Monument Valley 2 is one of those games that feels like it was designed specifically for quiet evenings. You guide a mother and her child through impossible architecture, like staircases that loop back on themselves, towers that rotate under your finger, and pathways that only exist from certain angles.

The puzzles are clever without being punishing. You’re not racing against a timer or juggling complex systems; you’re calmly sliding pieces of the world around until everything lines up. The visuals are stunning enough that you’ll probably pause just to take screenshots, and the ambient soundtrack pairs nicely with a pair of AirPods and a cup of something warm.

Each level is short and self-contained, so you can play a chapter or two while you’re waiting for dinner to finish in the oven, then come back later without losing your place. If you prefer games that feel more like interactive art than “levels” and “missions,” this one belongs near the top of your list.
