Our Verdict:

Although far from a traditional adventure, Valiant Hearts has a strong setting and story that exposes the worst aspects of war and the best of human relationships.

The Good:

  • Set in a rich historical period that’s rarely explored in games
  • varied gameplay relies on logic, pattern recognition, and stealth rather than reflexes
  • great co-op puzzles involving dog/person teamwork
  • touching story with a powerful, tearjerker ending.

The Bad:

  • Repeated deaths during car chases and battles can be frustrating
  • side-scrolling format and active gameplay may feel too platformy for some adventure game fans.
