Valiant Hearts: the great war

Stumbled across this gem a few days ago and bought it yesterday. I love puzzle games.

Ubisoft decided to mark the 100th anniversary of the start of WWI by releasing Valiant Hearts. A puzzle platform game set during the great war. And don't let the cartoon style fool you, it can be gritty.

You play as French soldier drafted from the farm, an American volunteer in the French army with a personal vendetta, a German soldier with a wife in France and a hot veterinarian student from Belgium that became a medic.

And Walt, the main hero of the story

If that dog dies in the end I'll need a bucket.

You got some lighthearted puzzles like finding a tobacco pipe in a POW camp to exchange for a piece of ham and the taxi chases where the Germans are bombarding you to the tune of Brahms Hungarian rhapsody...

...to searching for wounded in a pile of dead bodies, the bombardment of Rheims and seeing how you helped kill someone who saved your life one mission ago.

And I shot down a Fokker plane with a tank at the Somme

No shooting (apart from some cannon shots), though you do knock out a couple of Germans with a gravy scoop

And last but not least, there's a lot of souvenirs to be found trough the game, everyone with a description what it is and how it's connected to the period and a diary with some historical facts that pop up as you go along.

So, if you like puzzles and would play a war game with no run'n'gun but a good story, buy it. It's only €15 on steam
