Critic Reviews
Cubed3
By OfisilValiant Hearts: The Great War is an extremely linear, extremely easy, and extremely… okay adventure game that deals with the real, non-romanticised side of the first World War. Sadly while a product that's deeply engrossing, technically flawless, and simply beautiful to look at, its core, the story and characters, doesn't manage to ever become the riveting war drama that it is supposed to.

By Ricardo Oyón RodríguezAdventure with an artistic section at a very high level, with an interesting narrative, but with an excessively low difficulty, which can be exhausting if what you are looking for is a playable challenge.

By Matt MirkovichPlaying Valiant Hearts now feels like a crime, but being on the Switch is a boon for this wartime marvel.

By Khurram ImtiazValiant Hearts: The Great War presents us the grim side of World War 1 which is now thankfully a thing of the past. It looks pleasant and this Nintendo Switch port seems to have fared better than Child of Light despite running on the same game engine, so if you are seeking a brief interactive story, this gets a solid recommendation.

By Nuno NêvedaValiant Hearts: The Great War brings an involving and touching experience about World War One to the Nintendo Switch under the guise of a point and click game with puzzles to solve. While this aspect is not the strongest tenet of the game, as its puzzles could use a greater level of challenge, the game delivers everything else in a near flawless way, thanks to its well-devised plot, exquisite cartoon and comic book inspired visuals and overall message, which will go straight to the core about that devastating conflict.
