    Сюжет очень классный, рисовка тоже неплохая как для инди игры. ООООЧЕНЬ убогая механика в большинстве моментов, глупые загадки, это снизило оценку на 3 бала. Играл на пс 5

    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.

    Maybe it should be played at it's time. Because for 2022 it is just a calm and sad mobile game on console/PC.
    The story itself wasn't gorgeous for me. The same thing with the characters, only by the second third of the game I finally understood and remembered who is who between them.

    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.

    Valiant Hearts is not only a video game, but also a very spoiled audiovisual experience that reaches the heart of anyone who has tasted this title.

    *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.

    A crappy little basic gameplay side scroller that looks and plays from the days of ancient retro gaming. Someone obviously wanted to tell a story, but didn't have the talent/money to put a good game behind it.

    Basic retro 16 bit style out of 10.

    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.

    Great story telling, fun engaging. It will grip you, and it will be hard to put down the controller. The game is really engaging and it also brings some world war history.

    Hmm, i was expecting something little different, but not bad at all. Heartbreaking and real story. I think i would vote more if my nationality was one of heroes.

    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]
