There have been loads of video games making history in the gaming industry such as "Battlefield 1" and more. What makes these games intertwine with each other is the manifesto that runs throughout the story: World War 1.
It isn't easy to create and develop a game that will help put World War 1 in context. Developers may have a hard time to create games that will depict war in a sensible manner. Game Informer has collected at least five great games that illustrate World War 1.
"Valiant Hearts" was released by Ubisoft in 2014 is a beautifully-illustrated puzzle adventure that portray the stories of actual people who lived in the course of World War 1.
