Valiant Hearts: The Great War - Review

9/10 game, don't hear IGN. Go for it.

What the heck, how can you do a review and insert spoilers?!

What a terrible review 😀

Why didn’t I hear of this before the Netflix release?

Still amazes me that this IGN reviewer was too thick to get their head around WW1...

This game is sabaton approved. 10 out 10. Buck off ign

This is the best game i've ever played

There's nothing "intrusive" about history....it's the reason why you are breathing today......you're just a little unappreciative little worm.

So many spoilers

Piss poor review

This game is fantastic, it's breath of fresh air. The setting, the art style, the story, the gameplay it's all well done. The review is so ridiculous, "heavy narration" ????? It's not even that heavy, he makes it sound like it's BioMutant.

this is disrespectful

I hate puzzle games, platformers, most artsy games and most 2D sidescrollers.
I sobbed disgustingly, embarrassingly and uncontrollably for the entire ending sequence and about halfway through the credits. I only teared up at the end of RDR2. This game is a masterpiece and anyone who says otherwise either hasn't finished it or is a soulless husk of an NPC. This is my example of how games can be as refined of an art as any other.

For me this game is a 30 out of 10

Did you just spoil the end of the game?!!

I had respect for You ign... This is not a game this is a memoir which has to be respected.

I write this so much later, but...
History is a con?
I'TS STORY IS NOT IN THE PROS!
That is the only game, what made me almost cry.

It deserves more obviously

I know it's a few years but 7.0? Ign are you dumb or what? This game deserves a 9 or 10 but a 7 not since this is the best gerra game that tries to give you a sad story / drama

IGN is so incompetent

This guy is among the best reviewers at IGN. He has a wonderfully descriptive and warm tone to his voice. You have plenty of reviewers who are expendable. But please don't let this guy go.

I'm downloading this game, purely based on this gentleman's review.

Amazing game! They should do others similar to this one! It blew me aWay! My score--> F. Awesome!

That is it i am going to sue ign

I love the drawing style, but the puzzles ruin the game

If you dont like the puzels and Arendt interested in the plot but still want ww1 try playing verdun

Really love those fact popping from Time to time

Does anyone else get reminded of 60 seconds when watching or playing ( I’ve never played it) valiant hearts?

This game achieved something just about no other game has ever achieved - it presented a moving story that was educational and still worked as a game in its own right. It's simultaneously the only game that's ever made me cry and taught me something meaningful about history. Criticising it for the inclusion of historical notes in an optional menu is so misguided it's baffling. It was literally the whole point in the game to show you the history and it was done brilliantly. Nor would you ever, contrary to what this video says, have understood the proper historical background without them - how on earth are you supposed to get the full significance of the Nivelle Offensive, for instance, from a level where you're just running up a hill? Honestly, the whole thing sounds like it was put together by an intern who had no clue what they were reviewing and felt they had to throw some criticism in because they didn't have the confidence to give it too high a score.

THIS IS A MUST PLAY

Funny. As a game Valiant Hearts isn't all that great. The historical information however is a big plus in by book.

Why would IGN keep a review up that spoils a major death in the game!?! And mark it down for historical facts - one of the best features of the friggin game.

He should have given it a 10 for the ending alone

"All this history is so depressing... I mean, come on, guys, I know it's WW1 and it was a time where you had to stuff a piss-soaked clothed to you mouth and nostrils so you wouldn't have your insides rotted by mustard gas AND people drowned in tenches AND the story of Christmas Truce occurred where soldiers from all sides decided to disobey orders and celebrate Christmas with one another by sharing rations and family photos with their enemies they might end up shooting later, but lighten up, ok? CoD really shows that you can actually take somthing as horrible as war and make a profitable and FUN video game about it that continues to sell really really well"

Is this only download, no physical game?

The ending had me...

why only 7.7? i think it shou be the best war game ever.

Today is March 11th, 2018. It is free on PS Plus. Definitely downloading this game. Looks awesome

I LOVED the historical facts! He definitely had the wrong approach going into the little gem.

I usually don't mind scores, buit c'mon IGN. Games like this, is what make our hopes still alive in the current state of the game industry - shout out to CoD. From what i've seen so far, this game is very well designed, and a breath of fresh air to WW games.

Heart touching game 10/10

The music on the inventory/info tab is beautiful. Don't normally play these kind of games but this is a lush game with gorgeous art and fantastic production from start to finish, this random nobody gives it a 10/10 & mr person's seal of approval. 👍

if IGN will continue to give crappy grades to modern masterpieces and good grades to every bullshit, i'm done!!! Even the guys from IGN have brain hemoragy, or they are idiots who doesn't know how to review a good game; hope you fall IGN!

I horribly disagree with your rating of this game. I'm just now getting to playing it and it's fantastic and simple. The historical education laud on in the game is the sole reason I dived head long into the story. in my opinion this game is an easy 8 to 8.5 .

this the best game I have ever played !! and you are giving it only 7.7 !! please buy this game!!

This game brought me to tears and redefined what constitutes a game.

7.7 ? 8.9 in my book, best ww1 game I have ever played.

Nice touch with the spoilers there. I'm so glad you ruined the end of the game without even a warning. Amateur hour here at IGN review I guess.

By far one of the worst ratings IGN has ever done this game easily would get a 8 or 9 in my book it's one of the only games that actually got me to cry and also had some nice comedic moments in there as well.The story was perfect and extremely well done would have liked another one in maybe WWII or the American civil war but Ubisoft doesn't know something good if it hit them in the face.

shitty review, total 10/10
