Advice for consumers
This game has received a PEGI 3 and features occasional very mild violence in a comical or abstract context. Suitable for all ages.
Brief outline of the game
3D side-scrolling platform game, based on the animated TV show, in which a group of evil villains has stolen important parts of the PJ Power Q, the space headquarters of the PJ Masks. The PJ Masks must work to thwart the villains' plans and recover the missing parts of the PJ Power Q.
Content specific issues
This game features very mild violence. Violence is either directed at cartoon-like humans or at fantasy characters and always involves stunning a character, not actually harming them. The player cannot be killed or defeated and being hit only stuns the player's character. Some types of enemies may disappear when hit (for example, moths), but human enemies can also only be stunned rather than killed. Some of the cutscenes also feature various forms of violence, but this never results in any serious harm or hurt. The cartoon-like nature of the game also helps make the violence less disturbing.
