FAQs

Can a 12 year old play the evil within? ›

The Evil Within is one for mature players with robust mental health who can tolerate extremely stressful situations, enjoy very high difficulty levels and aren't put off by excessive violence. This title has: Too much violence.

The game is terrifying - often in a stressful way - and there's no way young kids should play it. There is a story, but it's bewildering and involves sadism and mental cruelty, with references to psychosis, suicide, self-harm, murder, arson and the deaths of children.

Violence & Gore (7)

An absolute gorefest, with blood and organs staining the environment and killing monsters which is often bloody and intense. There's a lot of blood. There is a blood on the walls and the ground most of the time. Dead bodies can be seen on the ground, on some places they're hanged.

Still not for young kids - several enemy designs are very disturbing, and it's still a game about madness and murder, but Evil Within 2 can be considered less shocking/provocative than the original and offers a more rounded experience.

Survival Horror Mixed With Action. This Game Was Fun And Scary. I Beat This On The Xbox 360 And Then Beat This On The Xbox One, This Game Is Scary And Gory And If You Like Horror Games Then I Would Recommend This Game. Shinji Makami Made A Great Game.

Nope, the game informer video mentions that there were no cheap scares or screamers. The only thing I saw that could be a jump scare was a safe exploding with blood as you were trying to crack it. Indeed.

Just like in Silent Hill, you shouldn't waste your ammo on regular foes, and to enjoy it, you need to know how to play it the right way.

It's absolutely worth playing through the first game - both to have context for the sequel, and to experience its weird convoluted story. That said, you may or may not want to do it, and that depends on your tolerance to jank. Evil Within 1 is VERY janky.

First things first I have played this game before and I let my son play it when he was 10 it is definitely not for kids of that age group. It has some horror themes but its not nightmare level scary for kids 13 and up.

It also has some scary scenes and violence. Because of this The School for Good and Evil is not recommended for children under 11, and we recommend parental guidance for children aged 11-13 years. These are the main messages from The School for Good and Evil: True goodness lies in caring for others.

Parents: According to the ESRB, this game is rated M and contains blood and gore, intense violence, and strong language. No kids. If they're under 12 they shouldn't be using the PSVR anyway, but that's beside the point.
