AusGamers has reviewed Valiant Hearts: The Great War and writes:
There has been a large contingency of people asking for a war game in which you don’t pick up and fire a gun, so it’s great that, when it actually happened, we were given a game with this much charm and emotion packed into it.
Some of the game titles have only a good setting and partially repeat the real events of the past. At the same time, some projects are a rethinking of military events, political debates, and trade coalitions. Here are games that have a historical storyline.
That should be "Historical". To think that some peeps walk away with this interface as bing their history lesson. No wonder we have some real sad sacks with shattered realities.
I know what you mean. There are people who actually think 0 black men fought in WWII. The history, of course, is 1.2 million just from the USA. Then there are the people who claimed women didn't fight in WWII. They ignore one of the greatest snipers of all time, Lyudmila "Lady Death" Pavlichenko or the WWII female fighter pilots.
It's like all they learned was the US/UK version of WWII. Then they get triggered because they find out that women and black men fought in the war. But then they are suddenly silent when Ubisoft changed the very real shieldmaiden, Eivor Varinsdottir, into a man.
It's sad that they learned such a shallow, superficial version of "history."
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Sometimes we all need a good cry. And while a good book or touching movie can do the trick, there’s plenty of video games with emotional narratives and motifs out there that can help work through some complicated emotions or just experience a sad story."
