    The game follows the style of its older sibling, and once again you'll be treated to absolutely stunning graphics, a compelling narrative style, tons of historical facts and your old friends. These are backed up by new heroes, and although some take different sides, they let you live their wartime lives through stories. [Issue#326]

    It’s really a beautiful thing that Valiant Hearts: Coming Home exists today. It’s a blessing because is both the sequel-conclusion to one of the most beloved and didactically valuable games ever produced by Ubisoft, and the opening ram for a different way to publish games. However, this must not blind from evident flaws like low duration, low difficulty and some plot issues, such as the excessive dependence to its prequel.

    It’s the Valiant Hearts storytelling that you’ve been looking for, but without the gameplay to match it.

    Valiant Heart: Coming Home’s limited release strategy is a self-inflicted wound, but this beautiful WWI side-scrolling sequel is a fairly fun, lightly educational little three-hour engagement free to those equipped to play it.

    The second instalment repeats what we’ve seen in the first one and does so successfully. There’s no hint of the original surprise, though. Are you a Netflix subscriber? Then this is a very nice bonus to all the TV shows.

    Overall, Valiant Hearts: Coming Home doesn’t have quite the same devastating impact as The Great War first did. Maybe that’s down to the effects of a sequel. Or maybe it’s due to the smaller, bite-sized format it’s seemingly designed around. But who says emotional narrative games can’t be short-burst experiences? The heart of Valiant Hearts is still here, and I’m glad these characters and this style of historical storytelling live on to fight another day. Just don’t ask me to fetch another potato, or dodge another artillery shell.
