Advice for consumers
This game has received a PEGI 16 because it features strong violence. Not suitable for persons under 16 years of age.
Brief outline of the game
Action role-playing game in which players take on the role of Aloy as she explores the Forbidden West, fighting with and against new tribes in an attempt to save mankind in the post-apocalyptic world of Horizon.
Content specific issues
Violence is similar in style to that found in 'Zero Dawn', with Aloy and her companions fighting both mechanical dinosaur-like creatures and enemy tribes. Blood is shown but no graphic injuries. Cinematic scenes feature more realistic violence than the violence found in general gameplay, including tribes shooting each other using bows and arrows and scenes of execution at spearpoint.
