O.K. for Kids?

Wondering if this game is alright for 10 year olds?

[MaxxGold]

I don’t see why not.

[JustALonelyDude]

Should be fine.

I gave my then 11 years old niece a gift copy of this game for her to play on her Nintendo Switch two years ago and she absolutely loved it. She's been waiting for Silksong since then.

I don't think I can find anything not suitable for a child's mind in this game. It's a difficult (but not impossible) game, at best, so frustration might be the worst they will encounter.
But it has no bad language, not sexual content, no substance abuse, the violence is not gore, I don't remember any suicide theme. I cannot think of any other topic not suitable for children to analyse.

Worst case scenario, the child might not like it, because it's not a child-oriented games. But it's not unsuitable for a child, might or might no be appealing though.

I think there is just a tiny bit of hidden implied suicide theme with Quirrel.
but this is only after doing specific actions and I don't think a child would even notice (I didn't until i saw someone mention it)
I know that I would have liked it when I was ten, but I don't think I would have gotten very far, it is far too challenging for me when I was ten. If it is too hard, I would wait maybe 3 - 6 years for a child to start playing when they are 13 - 16. (I started at 14)

It has some pretty dark and tragic themes, but overall it should be fine. The main thing is that it's pretty frustrating at times and a 10 year old might not like that.

The game can be frustrating and dark at times, although it shouldn't be terrible for a ten-year old. Worst there is is one of the bosses attempting to stab itself to death, however it isn't gory or anything. (Plus one easily avoidable reference to child conception.)

Yes, but the difficulty might be a serious problem later on. It gets REALLY HARD.

I'm 31 and the soul sanctuary scares the daylight out of me, but that's more a me problem I think. :)

I think it can get pretty stresful and scary at some points. Also, it touches on some hard topics as mentioned above. If you are ok with that, then all good.

If that place is where you fight the Soul Master, I feel the same way and even worse when you fight against the dream version (Soul Tyrant), makes my hands extremely sweaty.

I can't see any problem
