It's tragic, it really teaches and shows you every step of WW1 and enlightens you on just how terrible the human race can be. With that said, Valiant Hearts is probably a hidden gem that many people will pass up. Many pieces are classical symphonies from the time period so it adds even more authenticity to the game. The sound is excellent and the music is wonderful. The graphics alone are just gorgeous and the colors pop on PS4 and Xbox One. Expect to restart and die several times throughout this game. A lot of it is trial and error because the game rushes you through it. Some of the more frustrating areas were the action sequences in which bombs drop and you have to dodge enemy fire. There is a hint system for people who aren't very good at puzzles, but it can also be turned off. I did find some issues here and there such as a few puzzles being extremely vague, but it's nothing that some trial and error and exploration won't solve. I can honestly say the game is well paced and perfect for a one-day gaming spree.
However, many sequences are cinematic and scripted which keeps you glued. Using the background and foreground to solve puzzles all of which are completely different but the mechanics tend to be the same and it gets a bit old towards the end. It gives you a sense of helplessness and makes you realize just how terrible and brutal WW1 was. You are mainly just trying to survive this tragic war while you watch everyone around you die. There's no real fighting in the game, you don't get a gun. With that said, the game mixes up stealth, action, and puzzle solving all of which are excellent. It's great for history buffs or anyone who's curious about what really happened during WW1 since WWII is all anyone talks about. You can also go around collecting trinkets that are from the war. The game reenacts major battles from WW1 and also gives you history on what really happened during that time period. A German, an American, a French woman and a Frenchman. You play as four different characters all fighting the tragic war in France. The game is brilliant on many levels and fans of these types of games will not be disappointed. There is a huge lack of WW1 games and I'm glad Ubisoft decided to make it a 2D platformer rather than an FPS. Valiant Hearts is probably the only WW1 game I can remember playing. Valiant Hearts will keep you instantly glued to the screen thanks to its rich history, characters, and story.
It's been a long time since I have played a game through an entire day and couldn't put it down.
