Bloodborne Parents Guide: Age Rating, Safety & Tips
Recommended age: 16+
Recommended play time: 1-1.5 hours (or as desired)
Oy vey, Bloodborne! My oldest son (15, almost 16, but don't tell my wife I discussed this with him) once watched clips of this game, and it looked like a nightmare come to life. I'm no gaming expert, and I admit it seems a bit scary, but here's what I managed to learn so you won't be caught off guard.
What is this game
Listen, it's an action game with lots of scary monsters, like something out of a horror movie, and a very gloomy atmosphere. The hero enters this strange place full of secrets – like my dad trying to hide sweets from his grandkids. There are extremely tough battles, and you need to be very skilled to progress. It's not a game you play to relax after a day's work.
