7 World War I Video Games You Should Definitely Play

Valiant Hearts: The Great War can be credited with bringing a more emotional tone to the genre, which is appropriate as the Great War itself was very much an emotional endeavour for involved troops.

It follows characters from Germany, France, America and Belgium in different roles across the Western Front, and demonstrates the part each country played in the war as shown in the gameplay of each character's story. It takes the form of a hand-drawn side scrolling interactive historical story as you navigate each character's respective stories.

From Karl, the German called away from his family in France to fight on the Kaiser's behalf, to Anna, a nurse with the ability to heal other characters' wounds, they all reflect some part of the war that should always be remembered, and it's pertinent of Ubisoft to keep historical accuracy to a maximum while not tarnishing the memories of any individuals on either side.

Sure, it may not be as exciting or visually spectacular as other entries, but Valiant Hearts is absolutely worth the attention of anyone wishing to learn more about the Great War, and for anyone looking to get more than a little emotional.
