As someone who adored the original Valiant Hearts, this sequel is a letdown. Coming Home feels like a watered-down echo of what made the first game so powerful. The emotional storytelling is thinner, the characters aren’t as memorable, and the pacing feels rushed. Gameplay is overly simplistic—more like tapping through a history slideshow than playing a meaningful adventure.

The original struck a rare balance between heartfelt narrative, historical context, and clever puzzles. Here, most of that depth is gone. The story barely has time to breathe, and key moments that should carry weight are glossed over or delivered with little impact. It feels like the game is just going through the motions, without ever letting the player connect to what’s happening.
