Valiant Hearts: Coming Home

If you haven’t played the first Valiant Hearts: The Great War, then you may be surprised how much a comic book-style sidescrolling puzzle adventure could be so emotionally effective. The sequel, which has remained a Netflix exclusive until last month, takes themes similar to those of the first game and introduces us to a few new characters who are doing their best to survive the horrors of WWI. The game isn’t as long as the first title, but for what it does, it still remains an effective story told in such a way people of varying ages can get into it, despite how many emotional sucker punches it throws your way.
