Advice for consumers

This game has received a PEGI 18 which restricts availability to ADULTS ONLY and is not suitable for persons under 18 years of age. This rating has been given because it features violence against vulnerable and defenceless characters, motiveless killing of innocent characters, sexual threat, and use of strong language.

Brief outline of the game

Real-time strategy game, which takes place on the eastern front during World War II. Players can play on their own or in online co-op.

Content specific issues

This game contains depictions of the motiveless killing of multiple innocent human characters. A number of missions take place against the backdrop of the Holocaust. One scene takes place in a forest in which innocent civilians and prisoners of war are taken to a pit of human bodies. The characters are then lined up and executed by firing squad. Another mission takes place in a concentration camp. Large numbers of human bodies can be seen throughout the map, including piles of corpses. Human bodies can also be seen hanging from gallows. Crying and screaming can be heard in the background throughout the mission. In addition to these stronger moments, there is also realistic violence during gameplay, with characters screaming in pain when hit by weapons and explosives, with sight of blood. Defeated characters fall to the ground and remain visible for the rest of the mission. The game also contains sexual threats. During one mission a female prisoner is continually threatened with rape by her captors, including with use of strong and crude sexual language. There is frequent use of strong language ('fuck' and 'cunt').

Other issues

From the main menu the player can access ‘War Diaries’, which are short war documentaries which feature real-life footage of events during World War II. This includes footage of the Holocaust and other wartime tragedies.

Action platform shooter, themed around demons and Hell, in which a lone hero demon sets out to fight against evil.

Content specific issues

Gameplay focuses on violence and can be hectic and frenetic. The player's character has to fight against waves of enemies. The violence is unrealistic in nature, as are reactions to it. Enemies flash when hit and then explode when defeated. The player's character blinks when hit and loses part of a health bar, without visible harm. The game also features various bosses, some of which look menacing. For example, one of these bosses is a huge floating goat skull that shoots bullets from its eyes. The overall atmosphere is also dark and moody and may frighten younger children.

Content specific issues

This game features unrealistic-looking violence involving human-like characters. It is possible for characters to be cut in half or to explode when being hit by projectiles.

Brief outline of the game

Virtual reality action game in which players conquer colossal peaks, overcome fearsome machines, and uncover a hidden danger to the world of Horizon.

Content specific issues

This game contains frequent depictions of realistic-looking violence towards fantasy characters. Large mechanical creatures, which resemble real-life animals, are attacked using a variety of projectile weapons such as arrows and explosives. Parts of the creatures break off after sustaining a large amount of damage. When they are defeated, their bodies fall to the floor where they remain. The game also contains infrequent depictions of realistic violence of a minor nature towards human characters. In one scene a man is attacked by a large mechanical crocodile whilst trying to escape the water. The creature lunges towards the man as if to eat him and the man then vanishes into the creature’s mouth. The attack is very brief, and the victim lets out no cries of pain, nor is there any blood.
