Helldivers II

This is by far one of the best games ever made. It has gore, language, and military satire in it, so i can't recommend it for any kids under 15, but if your kid is 15 and you still check what games they should and shouldn't play, you probably shouldn't be parenting at all.

Educational value: Not really any present. Great messages: Starship Troopers for Gen Z (the movie, not the book). The entire game is a critique of militarism and fascism, particularly as a cautionary tale, and it's not too hard to see. Your characters are branded as defenders of democracy and freedom, shown constant propaganda videos from your superiors, and commended as heroes before being blown to pieces by a landmine or shot minutes after deployment, as a new patriotic recruit takes your place as a character. The two main enemy factions are described as inhuman and uncaring aggressors by those around you, despite your destruction of their homes and nurseries. Great role models: None. Everyone's a bad guy. Your character, your superiors, and the alien enemies you face all have the end goal of killing whoever isn't them. Ease of play: A difficult game at times, but not a hard one to learn. Violence: The severe violence is all an aspect of the game's messages. However, this doesn't mean it's any less violent. Dismemberment of human and alien enemies is frequent, as is human and alien blood. Gas, fire, guns, and explosives are all used. Sex: None. Swearing: None. Consumerism: A lot of in-game purchases, cosmetic and otherwise, are optional but undermine the game's messages. Drinking/drugs/smoking: Characters use painkiller syringes to heal.

Very fun game, nothing bad, just some blood. You better buy it if you love democracy

Great satire SI-FI adventure although gore is present it is only if you character is blown up and is only shown briefly and not dramatised like other games like fallout you can mute teammates on voice chat or play solo or just with freinds gameplay can get intense and hard but there are many difficulties to choose from. Over all if it was a movie it would be a 15 (and a mild one at that) video game age ratings are bull sh;£ and if they can watch the movie it is based off of “Starship troopers” You can play it so get out there and liberate the universe!!!

This is the best online hoard shooter ever it makes me want to spread democracy to helpless planets and if anyone leaves a bad review up right down down down

One of my favorite games out there. There is a little gore, but it's mainly just funny when you get blown 600 feet in the air by a stray rocket. Every moment in this game seems like a scene from a movie. FOR DEMOCRACY 🗣️🗣️🗣️
