Our Verdict | Parents Guide

Though, we agree that the game contains some disturbing visuals in the form of gore and blood. But, not all children will be affected by these visuals, as the graphics will seem somewhat cartoonish in some parts. But, our advice will be that, if your child is below 13, then think of giving it a miss. You can give it a green signal for the teenagers, as we don’t think it contains anything up to that level that may disturb mental peace.
