Monument Valley Is Finally Coming to PC

pcmag.com:

Indie puzzle game Monument Valley and its sequel are finally leaving mobile platforms behind and launching on Steam in a reimagined, widescreen form.

First released for iOS in April 2014, then for Android in May of the same year, and finally for Windows Phone (remember that?) in April 2015, the game has remained a mobile-platform exclusive ever since. However, developer Ustwo Games has been quietly working on a new version of both Monument Valley games for Steam that have "Panoramic Collection" attached to their names for a very good reason.

The games were developed for the tall and thin aspect ratio of smartphones, which doesn't work well with laptop displays, TVs, and monitors. So for the Steam release, Ustwo spent time upgrading all the graphics to support widescreen displays, including those ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio monitors that have become popular. The touch controls also needed to be replaced with more PC-friendly keyboard and mouse input.

Both Monument Valley: Panromaic Collection(Opens in a new window) and Monument Valley II: Panoramic Collection(Opens in a new window) will be available for $8 each according to Engadget(Opens in a new window). If you purchase both games together, though, the price drops to $15. The other piece of good news, beyond the fair pricing, is the fact each game contains all of the add-ons and DLC made available over the years since they first released. So what you are buying is the complete Monument Valley experience.

The games should work on most PCs, with the requirements only specifying a 64-bit copy of Windows 7 or higher, an Intel Core i5 or equivalent processor, 8GB of RAM, and a GeForce GTX 460 GPU at a minimum. Even the storage requirements are refreshingly low at just 1GB
