It's almost hard to believe that 10 years ago, back in 2014, was the first occasion that I took the plunge and paid for a mobile game (as far as I can recall anyway). There was the whole Angry Birds craze which I was well into, but that was free. Monument Valley, on the other hand, cost my younger self £2.49 ($3.99/AU$4.99) – but was totally worth it.
Wrapped in among the major news that an all-new third instalment of the Monument Valley game is coming to Netflix on 10 December – an announcement that coincided with Gamescom taking place in Germany; one of the last gaming showcases worth its salt – is also the fact that the best streaming service will be getting the original game and its sequel too.
