I love historical war stuff and this game is full of fun World War I historical bits of true info (a blast for any historical buff). At first glance, it seems like a plain side scrolling game like any other. After playing it for a few minutes, I was hooked and what I thought was going to be just a few minutes of play time ended up being hours and hours (and then day after day) of some great puzzle solving fun that I never dreamed could be implemented into a side scrolling program (this is like The Cave except easier on the puzzle solving. The game truly puts you into the atmosphere of the struggles of WWII I. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you' ll be excited one moment only to be challenged the next with a new puzzle. And the puzzles don't get old even though many are variations of others. Of all the thousands and thousands of games I've played, Valiant Hearts will always be one of the most memorable, fun and great side scrolling puzzlers I've ever played. For the $10 it costs, it would be sad for you to turn this precious gem of a game away. Kudos to the developer for doing everything right! My only (small, small) complaint is chapter 4 which makes you start at the beginning to go through a somewhat tough and lengthy level if you don't complete it. But this is really a small complaint on something which has offered me days and days, weeks and weeks of fun for a few dollars. It's worth $10 just to try it even if you don't end up liking it. The PopUp historical info is a sheer delight!! A must for any historical buff (but I think I already mentioned that).… Expand

I bought this game a while back played just over 50%, and stopped for no apparent reason. Today I decided it was time to finish it. Even though I hadn't played it in a few months I was able to jump right back into the story and feel like i never stopped playing. This games ability to tell a story is right up there with Telltales the walking dead game. Although there were times where I did get very frustrated I really enjoyed my experience in the game and i would recommend it to anyone who loves a great story.… Expand

   War is a horrible, horrible thing. We live in a time now when video games focus less on the horrible aspects of it, and more on glorying theWar is a horrible, horrible thing. We live in a time now when video games focus less on the horrible aspects of it, and more on glorying the action. What we are give here is a powerful alternative the action-packed war games that crowd shelves.
   
   It's an emotional and powerful story. One with charming characters and a heartbreaking tone and ending. Things aren't all gloom and doom though. In fact the game's graphic novel style graphics give it a charming vibe. There are even touches of goofy humor throughout. The game just knows the seriousness of the subject matter and isn't afraid to portray the horror of the war it takes place in (WWI). Despite the characters being fictional, the conflicts they often partake in and the facts the game give you aren't. The dose of history is appreciated.
   
   For all of it's excellent storytelling this game wouldn't be worth much if the actual gameplay were not enjoyable. Thankfully this is an excellent adventure game with some truly great puzzles. The puzzles themselves aren't too difficult, so it's a rather breezy experience. Yet there is a thoughtfulness to them that makes the satisfying to solve regardless. Just don't expect to find yourself racking your brain to find solutions here.
   
   Each character has different abilities. Your strategies for progressing will change based on which one you are controlling at any given time. There are also quite a few entertaining quick-time sections that serve as nice diversions from the typical puzzle solving.
   
   Overall Valiant Hearts is simply a wonderful game with an emotional tale to tell. One that focuses on a different side of war than most other games portray. It's human and it may just end up leaving you in tears by the time the credits roll, but the gameplay ensures that you are having fun all the way through it.… Expand

By focusing directly on the characters, and how they are affected by World War I, Ubisoft provides a welcomed change from a standard shooter or action game focused on conflict. The graphics are great, and completely compliment the story driven game; especially the detailed backgrounds which add depth to each location.
   
   I highly recommend this game; especially at $14.99.… Expand

En effet pourquoi ne pas exploiter ce filonUbisoft, gros éditeur triple A, fait aussi dans l'indé de merde de temps à autre pour la gamelle. En effet pourquoi ne pas exploiter ce filon qui se développe en deux coups de cuiller à pot, surtout avec Soldats Inconnus ce jeu flash immonde en 16 couleurs ? D'autant qu'il s'agit de la Première Guerre Mondiale tout de même !... et quelle infamie ce jeu neuneu, quelle naïveté ! c'est la guerre mais on ne tue personne. Très crédible.
   
   On résoud par contre des tas d'énigmes à la mords-moi-le-noeud avec un clébard. Très important le clébard dites-moi : c'est lui le vrai héros en fait. La Première Guerre Mondiale n'est pas un sujet à traiter de façon aussi légère, simpliste et à côté de la plaque. Visionnez le documentaire Apocalypse pour vous en rendre compte : on ne badine pas avec un évènement qui a changé la face du monde et façonné le 20ème siècle et au delà. Soldats Inconnus est une insulte aux soldats et aux morts en plus d'être une daube minable.… Expand
