    As you’d expect, Valiant Hearts : The Great War runs perfectly on Switch, and it’s hard to notice any difference with the 2014 versions. This one is strongly advised to any gamer who hasn’t play the original game.

    Valiant Hearts: The Great War is an extremely linear, extremely easy, and extremely… okay adventure game that deals with the real, non-romanticised side of the first World War. Sadly while a product that's deeply engrossing, technically flawless, and simply beautiful to look at, its core, the story and characters, doesn't manage to ever become the riveting war drama that it is supposed to.

    Valiant Hearts is a game that I like more in theory than execution. I give Ubisoft Montpellier a lot of credit for taking a level-headed look at a period of history that usually gets overshadowed, but the gameplay didn’t get nearly as much attention as the aesthetics. If the puzzles had been more unique or interesting they could’ve propped up the story instead of dragging it down to mediocrity. Instead Valiant Heart turns one of the greatest conflicts in human history into a dull, repetitive chore.

    I loved this game. An occasion to play but also learn a lot. It was entertaining but also very emotional. I am so happy I got the chance to play it.

    A strong emotional bond is woven throughout the adventure, and the different characters, which makes the story touching and addictive.

    Rare are the games that have been able to touch me this much in terms of emotion.
    I highly recommend it, for those who are still hesitating to buy it.    … Full Review »
