Critic Reviews
Valiant Hearts: The Great War Review
As a videogame, Valiant Hearts: The Great War is imperfect. The DDR-alike mini-game you’re forced to play in order to help Anna cure a patient for example, is dull. But for every low point, there are more than a few highs to offset it. The five hours or so of gameplay that you’ll get from a single playthrough are rewarding and memorable, with that fantastic storyline backing up some great puzzling action. Some may find themselves frustrated when bugs occur, but we think most will be forgiving of them once the end credits roll. As a package, we’re sure that Valiant Hearts is something that you’ll never forget. And you should indeed never forget.

Visually stunning but mechanically lacklustre, Valiant Hearts gets in the way of its own storytelling.
