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.

Daily challenges earn trophies, and seasonal events add a little variety. Ads are the trade-off, though a single purchase removes them, and the App Store label shows plenty of tracking.
