About

Monument Valley is a 2014 indie puzzle-adventure game that stands out for its stunning isometric perspective and mind-bending optical illusions. Players guide Princess Ida through impossible architecture and sacred geometry puzzles, interacting with the environment to uncover hidden paths across ten carefully crafted levels. The game's unique visual style and meditative gameplay made it a notable title in the indie gaming scene.

Performance-wise, Monument Valley is extremely accessible and won't stress modern hardware. The game runs smoothly on entry-level GPUs with benchmark scores around 2272, making it ideal for older systems or integrated graphics. You'll easily achieve high FPS on virtually any GPU from the last decade, and even modest machines will handle it without adjusting graphics settings. The game requires just 8 GB of RAM, confirming it's one of the most lightweight titles you can benchmark on modern systems.

With a solid 76/100 rating, Monument Valley delivers a thoughtful, artistic experience that appeals to puzzle enthusiasts and casual gamers alike. If you enjoy atmospheric indie games that prioritize creative problem-solving over graphics intensity, this is definitely worth playing.

Performance profile

Released in April 2014, Monument Valley sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.

As a strategy title, Monument Valley is typically CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound — single-thread CPU performance dictates framerate during large-scale battles, end-game saves and late-game AI turns. A fast modern 6-core will help more than a GPU upgrade.

Extremely light — Monument Valley runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
