Content specific issues
Some cutscenes include finishing moves which feature elements of graphic violence, such as a bladed weapon being thrust and twisted into a person's neck, accompanied by large amounts of blood and agonised sounds. This is shown in close-up. General gameplay violence features sight of blood when characters are struck. When their health bars expire, they fall to the ground and remain visible in a pool of blood. The game also contains infrequent depictions of the motiveless killing of innocent people, who will scream and try to flee but can be caught and killed. There are also depictions of violence towards defenceless human characters. For example, during an interrogation, a character is seen seated on a chair with his hands bound behind his back as he is punched. The game includes use of strong language ('fuck').
