Outside of that, the game is very tame for children under the age of 10. We did have to have a discussion about a portion of the music because it is laid out like heaven then requires you to fight demon-like creatures. I can see how some children would be disturbed by that as the voice actor for elephant really lays it on thick, but the scene is realistic as far as a toy is concerned and doesn't go with elaborate blood splatter imitations or anything like that. My 7 year old found that scene hilarious 🤣. I see several reviews complaining about the toy elephant.

If your child gets frustrated with the difficulty, being a parent and shutting off the system for a few hours will help to teach them to deal with anger when they struggle to meet goals in games.Ĭontent-wise, she wanted skip just about all of the cutscenes (in many cases, we had to figure out the mechanics as we played due this 🤣.) This postponed the discussion about divorce until the end of the end when the cutscene cannot be skipped. Some of the jumps are a little difficult for her, but most of the puzzles and all the boss fights were completed by the 2 of us. This is actually this first game she was able to complete mostly playing her role without assistance. My 7 year old daughter and I enjoyed this game. A large portion of the plot revolves around "will they, won't they" divorce, so playing with small children will bring up the conversation of divorce especially if they don't skip the cutscenes. And to the devs - what the hell is wrong with you? You could have use that moment as the turning point for your characters and instead you played it for a sick and upsetting gag. Parents of smaller or more sensitive kids, learn from my mistake. I mean look, I get it was rated teen, but this is beyond the indicated “fantasy violence” that is normal for a video game, and nothing about the marketing nor the rest of the game indicated something like that was waiting. I was shocked and my poor kid quit in tears. But no, you have to chase, dismember, and throw off a cliff a cute elephant with a childlike voice pleading for its life the whole way. Dark, yes, but given the tone so far I expected that they’d be diverted from this plan somehow.
#It takes two reviews driver
A plot driver emerges where they think need to destroy one of their daughter’s toys to make her cry. It’s a great game! Spoilers ahead, but as a parent you should read this. The characters snipe at each other - it’s about a couple planning divorce - but the gameplay is light and playful. And for the first half, it takes two fell into that camp. I have played teen rated games with her before and can generally avoid or contextualize the darker elements. My nine year old has been wanting a couch coop game that we could play together, and so we were excited to try it takes two.
