The game is being developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, known for their work on critically-acclaimed titles like Beyond Good & Evil, Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends. The title uses UbiArt Framework which allows them to efficiently animate the game’s comic-book style, which consists of a wide-ranging color palette – from the dark trenches to green forests and snowy fields, and provides stunning scenic variety and visual contrast.

Valiant Hearts: The Great War is short, but anything longer would most definitely be padding. The entire package fits well together, and it goes down in my book as one of the best and most complete puzzle games since Portal 2. Before you dip into the doldrums of summer, I can’t recommend enough picking up this game first. All I need now is for the soundtrack to be officially released, and my life will be perfect.

Dodging bombs, hiding from zeppelins, and escaping POW camps are hard situations to go through, but Valiant Hearts isn’t afraid to take you there—and it does so in a way that’s elegantly crafted. Valiant Hearts accomplishes what only a small number of games can: it educates you on the highs and lows of a significant event in history, while creating a tragically beautiful game experience.

I’ve no doubt it would make a fine ancillary source of information for teens studying the First World War, engaging them in learning about the subject in a way that textbooks simply can’t match. It may even encourage them to learn more via more traditional means.

Valiant Hearts: The Great War offers an experience that would be hard to match if it was developed by a larger team, over a longer period, for more money. It’s a game with a perfectly realised vision that achieves just about all of its goals. Touching, funny, exciting and haunting, in its own understated way, Valiant Hearts is masterful. You have to play it.

I don’t want to give too much away, but Valiant Hearts: The Great War is significant in many ways. It not only gives us a rewarding and engaging way to see the horrors of war as it pertains to this particular likable cast of characters, but it also educates us on one of the most significant events in history. Ubisoft Montpellier could have just delivered a good game and called it a day, but they went above and beyond the call of duty to add context to the proceedings, and that is quite the commendable effort.

Ultimately, that story-game switch comes a little too often, every truly heartfelt moment balanced by crowbarred button-mashing. It’s an uneasy mix, and an unnecessary one. The tale behind all this is more affecting than such a simply-constructed game could hope to be.
