Critically-Acclaimed Puzzle Game Series Monument Valley Finally Gets PC Release Date

gamerant.com:

Android and iOS have no shortage of great puzzle games. But when it comes to memorable puzzle games that have continued to be highly lauded over the years, very few can match the Monument Valley series by London-based studio Ustwo Games. While the series has been around for some time now, it still appears on most sites' recommendations of the best puzzle games for mobile devices. Monument Valley will also be given a new lease of life soon, as the series is being ported over to PC.

The Monument Valley series consists of two games: Monument Valley and Monument Valley 2. The first game was released way back in 2014 for iOS and Android devices, before appearing on Windows Phone devices a year later. Ustwo then followed it up with a sequel in 2017, and both Monument Valley games have since collectively won 29 awards, including the BAFTA British Game Award 2015 and the Game Awards Best Mobile Game 2017. Both games have also been downloaded 100 million times globally.

The PC version of Monument Valley will come as part of the Monument Valley: Panoramic Collection. The teaser trailer for Monument Valley: Panoramic Collection shows that it won't just be regular ports of the mobile version, as Ustwo has optimized both games for the widescreen format. The PC version of Monument Valley will even support ultrawide displays with a 21:9 aspect ratio, and the developer thinks that this can actually help players in uncovering in-game secrets as they will have more perceptible visuals than in the mobile version.

In Monument Valley and Monument Valley 2, players take on the role of silent protagonists as they journey through impossible environments and illusionary puzzles.
