HORIZON FORBIDDEN WEST SKIN

This is definitely a game for teens, as there is person-to-person violence, though it's not bloody or gruesome in any way. The game, like its predecessor, tells a story about understanding your role in both your community and your natural environment, and the main character has to think beyond her belief that she alone can prevent disaster. HFW is one of the best open world games to date, and provides dozens of hours of content outside of the main story. Parents should also be aware that dialogue includes moderate profanity, and that some text messages found in the world contain subtle allusions to sex. Human blood also stains the ground in some areas, and the bodies of murdered people are occasionally found on her path. While out in the wilds, she proves herself fierce in battle with a bow and arrow and spear, and relies on her wits to strategically destroy aggressive machines and humans, the latter of which emit small sprays of red blood when hit. Her interactions with these characters reveal subthemes of cultural tolerance and acceptance, family relationships, environmental stewardship, mental health, and female empowerment.

HORIZON FORBIDDEN WEST SKIN

She travels into a vast unknown territory filled with massive and menacing machine animals and fanatical humans who mean her harm, but also meets and often befriends a truly diverse array of people of varying skin tones, ethnicities, and gender identities who require her help. Players once again take on the role of Aloy, a courageous and altruistic tribal woman who carries the responsibility of saving a far future Earth from a powerful enemy 1,000 years in the making.

Parents need to know that Horizon Forbidden West is an open-world sci-fi action game for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, and a sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn.
