    On PS5, The Valiant is just as playable and enjoyable as on PC, even if it's not quite as good-looking.

    Generally, The Valliant on consoles is a success. Controls make sense and don’t inhibit the flow. Whatever issues there are lie in the core of the game. A lack of mechanical originality and some repetitive or frustrating missions are offset by a decent story and acting. It’s also refreshing to play a unit-based RTS game that isn’t set in WW2 or a sci-fi world.

    The Valiant doesn't all come together, in my opinion. The depth on offer feels undercut by a repetitive and exhausting campaign. The feedback on offer does a great job of helping you come up with a strategy and using a controller felt relatively hassle free. The narrative might involve a fairly standard holy MacGuffin but the storybook way it was told was enjoyable. I do wish it traded more in variety. A change of pace from the persistent sieges and defence could've kept me engaged. As it is, The Valiant feels like a grind.

    Valiant tries to surprise with its crusade setting and multiplayer modes, but this squad-based RTS has serious narrative problems and a gameplay approach that doesn't feel fresh in any way. Its port to PS5 and Xbox is good, but is not the best video game to enjoy strategy on consoles [Not recommended]
