Brief outline of the game

3D Adventure platform game based on the 'Little Big Planet' franchise.

Content specific issues

Violence is always directed at fantasy characters. Violence is cartoon-like in nature, as are reactions to it. For example, enemies disappear in puffs of smoke when defeated and the player’s character falls down and floats up like a ghost when defeated. The colourful visual style makes any violence less disturbing. The game also features some boss-fights, most of which pit the player against huge monster-like creatures. These boss-monsters can be somewhat frightening, most notably the game’s antagonist, Vex, a giant jester-like doll with huge glowing eyes. The design could scare young children.

Brief outline of the game

Expansion for the sci-fi RPG, The Outer Worlds, introducing a new lawless asteroid to explore.

Content specific issues
