    Очень трогательная история о Великой войне, её героях и событиях. Стильная рисовка, не устаревающая с годами. Великолепная музыка. Интересные персонажи с драматичными судьбами. Геймплей, построенный на несложный квестах и загадках, хорошо вписан в происходящее. И в целом, очень атмосферное приключение.Очень трогательная история о Великой войне, её героях и событиях.

    игра прекрасно повествует о событиях первой мировой, да и в общем войн. я ее очень прочувствовал и под конец даже пустил скупую мужскую слезу.

    Um jogo realmente cativante, por conta de sua narrativa e história, por incrivel que pareça esse game me transmitiu "melhor" a sensação de uma guerra do que 20 anos de jogos, claro ele não transmite desafios, mas vale a pena pela narrativa e história, obrigado Ubi. (Pt/br)

    A really captivating game, due to its narrative and history, as incredible as it may seem this game conveyed to me "better" the feeling of a war than 20 years of games, of course it does not convey challenges, but it is worth it for the narrative and history , thanks Ubi. (Us)    … Expand

    A very touching game that shows all the horrors of war. But with non stable gameplay. The ending makes me sad.

    El mejor juego de Ubisoft sin duda, personajes carismaticos e historia increíble. Solo un poco de problemas en cuanto a colisión de objetos y controles.

    *STORY*: Valiant Hearts: The Great War begins with the outbreak of World War I. France begins to deport all German citizens. Karl is one of them and is forced to separate from his wife Marie and his son Victor, being enlisted in the German army. Marie's father and Karl's father-in-law, Emile, are drafted into the French army.

    A fantastic script, an impeccable narrative and an ending for the memory of the players.

    *GAMEPLAY*: Valiant Hearts proposes a simple but functional playable base. Sometimes it is a little frustrating, but almost always it is satisfactory.

    *GRAPHICS*: Valiant Hearts doesn't stand out graphically, but artistically it's another thing, very well achieved.

    *SOUND*: Valiant Hearts presents a well-cared accompanying soundtrack and very accurate sound effects.

    *INNOVATION*: Valiant Hearts presents war as what it is, a carnage of madness that does no good to anyone, and few video games focus on this aspect. Besides, its comic aspect is fantastic and it wasn't so usual a few years ago.    … Expand

    Great game. The art direction is beautiful and the WWI setting is thoughtful and informative. This is not a shooter. It's a puzzle game with a little bit of action. The music is great. You'll learn more in this game about WWI then any high school history class. A beautiful experience.

    This is such a beautiful game! The artwork and animation are completely perfect, and the sounds the characters make are wonderful. The way that the characters speak in symbols is perfect. I cannot express the joy that looking at this game gives me.

    The gameplay though is a bit lacking. Many times I found myself in the situation where I knew there must be something I could do, but for the life of me I couldn't see what it might be. Is it because I'm not smart? Is mucking around until you figure out how you can interact with a game supposed to be the fun bit?

    Anyway, philosophical thoughts on game design aside, this was a superb experience. The story was wonderful, and this was a prime example of the way that games are exceeding movies in their ability to tell stories.    … Expand

    This was a new thing that Ubisoft did with the indie stuff and I think it worked out. I liked seeing didn't peoples lives during this war. Taking control of multiple people was really cool. It was a good game but lacked in some. Overall fun.

    A game that tells the story of war without having you firing a single bullet.

    A touching narrative told with some really simple but effective mechanics on a canvas that looks like it came straight out of a french comic book.

    The heart and charm this title presents is endearing.

    I got this for free (PS PLUS) and it's really a great experience i hope i paid for it when it first came out. It was emotional and exciting experience despite the easy puzzles it's still a great game. Thanks for the game.

    Valiant Hearts is a beautiful and really enjoyable game. I can't believe I had it available for like a year since it was given for free on PlayStation Plus and I hadn't played it yet. The historical references to The Great War (WW1) give the game a big plus while you learn a lot of history and details about each army involved. It is one of the greatest games I've played on PS4.

    Awesome game, soundtrack is just killer, story is epic, and the designs work, it should be at some point in as history lesson, few games can provoke emotions like this. highly recommendable

    While it can be completed in less than six hours, it perfectly explores themes and concepts that triple-A titles still have difficulty grasping: gray morality, a poignant, thought-provoking storyline, and appealing gameplay that isn't based on killing everything in sight.

    Very pretty, but pretty shallow. Unchallenging – both emotionally and as a puzzle-platformer. [September 2014, p71]

    A short and simple adventure game with strong atmosphere delivered via an unique visual style. If you're looking for something different, this is it. [Issue#244]
