Valiant Hearts: The Great War Reviews
View All (76 total)Valiant Hearts is an adventure more interested in exploring the effects of war, than having you re-enact the violence.
Visually stunning but mechanically lacklustre, Valiant Hearts gets in the way of its own storytelling.
While Valiant Hearts struggles to make sense of itself as a game, in its odd, playful innocence and in its focus on four friends (and a dog) it at least offers a fleeting human perspective on a new kind of war that turned out to be far, far worse in its mechanised violence than anybody was quite expecting.
A heavy-handed but impressively sincere attempt to tackle a subject most other games would never dare, with the end resulting being both affecting and entertaining.
