Valiant Hearts: The Great War
This may come as a shock to some, but besides Rainbow Six Siege, Valiant Hearts: The Great War is one the best games released by Ubisoft in recent years. Like This War of Mine, it’s primarily a side-scrolling game, but this one adds puzzle solving as one of the main mechanics. None of the puzzles are particularly difficult, and as you complete them you’ll progress the story that was inspired by letters written during World War I.
You’ll play as four different characters; Emile, Karl, Freddie and Anna. As you delve deeper into Valiant Hearts: The Great War, each character’s journey begins to intertwine, peaking with an emotional ending.
Valiant Hearts: The Great War will take you about six to eight hours to get through, and chances are you won’t care to replay it soon after. Like a good movie, you are more likely to revisit it down the line than you are to immediately play through it again. You can find it on Steam for about $20, and like This War of Mine, Valiant Hearts: The Great War has overwhelmingly positive reviews. You can also find it on almost every device you own, including iOS, Android, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
