Strengths and weaknesses
Monument Valley 3
- Gorgeous art and calming music in every scene
- Try two chapters free, then pay once
- The expansion comes with the single unlock
- Puzzles stay on the easy side for series veterans
- Leans on dialogue more than the earlier games
Monument Valley 3 keeps the series' signature trick: paths that only connect once you twist the world or view it from the right angle. This time Noor sails a boat across shifting seas, which opens up the puzzles and gives the story room to breathe. Every scene looks like a print you'd frame. You can try the first two chapters free, and one $5.99 unlock gets the rest, with no ads. Series veterans will find it gentle.

Block Blast!
- Learn it in seconds, with real strategy in combos
- Plays offline, no Wi-Fi needed
- Short rounds fit any spare minute
- Ads interrupt the free version
- Weekly subscription pricing is steep
- Thin on depth beyond chasing scores
Block Blast! is the block puzzle that has dominated download charts, and it's easy to see why. You drag shapes onto an 8x8 grid, clear full rows and columns, and chase combos for a high score, with an Adventure mode and daily puzzles for variety. It works offline. The free version leans on ads, though, and Apple Arcade subscribers can get an ad-free edition instead.
