Age rating?

[Karl]

What's the age-appropriateness of this game? Trying to find some good drop-in/out co-op for the family.

Also, I'm getting mixed info on whether or not this has local co-op.

Thanks

Local co-op for this game is Local Area Network, so for family co-op you'd need one computer for each player.

Age appropriateness would depend on how you feel about texts mentioning the delivery of heads and/or dead pets. Stuff like that. The on-screen violence is bloodless though, and even if you choose to have gore shown, it comes in a tiny burst of barely visible brownish-red internal organs as a body is eradicated from high damage (or just a melee kick, if the agent is carrying a heavy high damage weapon). People can also not be set on fire, like in the Syndicate games.

There are missions to assassinate innocent civilians, but if that's a problem you can just choose to not do that. The only mandatory mission to finish the game is to kill the Dracogenics CEO. Anything else can be skipped.

Then again, it is a game about running around and committing crimes, and unless you avoid violence, you'll be killing law enforcement personnel. Well, at least private law enforcement. But they have the authority to make arrests, so...
