Where Child of Light is whimsical, Valiant Hearts is grounded and heartbreaking. Set against the backdrop of World War I, it follows the intertwined lives of four strangers and their faithful canine companion. Instead of focusing on the glory of combat, it focuses on the human cost of war—letters sent home, the struggle for survival in the trenches, and the bonds formed in the face of tragedy.

The Child of Light + Valiant Hearts Ultimate Edition is a perfect fit for the Nintendo Switch. These are games designed for intimacy—best played with headphones on, perhaps curled up on a sofa. 📍

In an industry often dominated by loud explosions and competitive multiplayer, this collection serves as a quiet, powerful reminder of the stories that games are uniquely capable of telling.

Child of Light is a playable poem. You step into the wings of Aurora, a young princess transported to the mythical world of Lemuria. The game’s most striking feature is its aesthetic; every frame looks like a hand-painted watercolor illustration brought to life.

Prepare for a rollercoaster of wonder, sorrow, and hope.
