VALIANT HEARTS DEFEATED!
Usually, I would’ve written this after finishing another game, but Valiant Hearts deserves the spotlight.
Valiant Hearts - The Great War is an adventure game set during the First World War, featuring Emile, Freddy, Anna, Karl and your faithful doggy companion, Walt. I won’t go into the details of the story since that is something one should experience on their own. However, the game tells a beautiful story about the people fighting this war, instead of the war itself. It details the horrors that war unleashes and how useless it seems to ones in it, in a way I’ve never seen any video game do. The game tells such a beautiful story that it gave me chills at times and had me so invested in the characters that I found myself hoping they’d all make it. The artwork and classic musical numbers during the taxi scenes set a humorous tone to the game, evoking a panoply of emotions. This game is the closest I’ve come to almost crying (The Walking Dead S1 included), yes, I admit it. I almost cried. T.T.
I think this is something that anyone who enjoys a good story should play through. But beware, onion chopping ninjas await thee.
Also, possibly, the best use of a farm animal? :D
I literally just finished this on Monday. It was a short little game but it was SOOOOOO good :D Man I had tears like at least 3 times :’(
I agree it was quite short and I managed to finish it in 2 days. But with such a great story that was so well executed, I can’t complain!
Hahahaha I finished in one sitting XD it was so good.
Another proof you always need a sheep in your life!
Valiant hearts look really like such a good game!
A sheep is quite a reliable animal it seems!
You should definitely give it a try, if you haven’t already that is. ^.^
Great game, even though I found myself wanting for some proper puzzles.
Yeah, I agree. The game was lacking in variety of puzzles, mostly fetching items. The story is what kept me hooked though.
I played this game long time ago, but I still remember a lot about it and I also admit I almost cried, and is really hard this happen because of a game.
Great game, story, soundtrack, gameplay… It is one of those games that everybody should play.
Agreed, it’s a must play for anyone who loves a game with a great story.
Awesome game! Glad you enjoyed it so much :D
Thank you! :D
Valiant Hearts is a fantastic game, I admit to fighting off the tears as well :)
A game has to be pretty great to make someone come this close to tears. I need more games like this in my life. XD
