Ah Valiant Hearts, my favourite game ever. Honestly, I feel like Jack in his gameplay of the game represented my emotions perfectly. When Jack laughed, I laughed. When Jack was angry, I was angry. When Jack cried, I cried. Jack felt so relatable when he played it and I cannot be more thankful to him for it.

This is what video games are all about, they are not cheap services, they are not something to be monetized for for sake of money, they are for sharing a story to create memorable events and memories, to tell a compelling story that draws a person in and makes you wish you could do it all over again

"Dearest Marie, As the war ends for me. I have no regrets. I've seen too much horror. I hope fate has been more merciful to you. Our time on earth is brief And mine has been filled with so much joy, that I can only be thankful for how much I've been blessed. Most specially for the wonder you brought into my life. This letter is my last. I've been found guilty by a military court for the death of an officer. It was not my intention to kill him. War makes men mad. Though I failed Karl, I know my sacrifice has not been in vain. I fought for my country and my liberty. My honour is assured. Since it is the will of God to separate us on Earth, I hope we'll meet again in heaven. Keep me in your prayers. Cordially, - James"

[@Kinsanth_]

This game is special in many ways, because it can stirr up emotions from people, which isnt so casual anymore. It really shows relatable tragedies and maybe even act as a reminder, that we should not easily give in into war, because war, in the end, only has casualties, on any side. There are no real winners after war, just broken people, ripped apart by lost familymembers for something blatantly stupid in any regard and ultimately just a few profit from those actions. War is a greeddriven mindless action and greed never gets adressed as a culprit for cruelties, never.

Not only is it an amazing game in almost every way but the final episode of Seáns let's play was the first piece of media to ever make me cry and for that it will forever hold a speciall place in my heart. This game was such a perfect match for Seán, with room for comedy like in the musical car chase but also so many true feelings that we got to experience with him.
