I was able to complete Monument Valley in seven ten-minute sessions, but I'm not very good at puzzle games or spacial reasoning. Even if you were to figure out the solution to every level instantly, I think it would still take 45 minutes to make it to the end. A lot of the experience is atmosphere, ambiance, and the joy of discovery as the layout or mechanic for each stage reveals itself.
I feel that Monument Valley is sort of like Journey - gamebros on the internet like to complain about it being too short, but that's not really the point. In fact, it's probably stronger for being so concise.
It's also a cure for depression, so there's that as well. If I were to give my past self a recommendation, it would be to save Monument Valley for when I really needed it. It made me cry not because it's sad but because it's beautiful, and sometimes you just need a good cry, you know?
