Sex & Nudity

Violence & Gore

  • Overall this Batman adventure doesn't shy away from any violence just to get that strict "teen" rating but overall most of the action is PG-13ish with some blood spurts when characters are shot, the most R rated content is off screen and we see the aftermath, ripped out intestines, a dead man's face ripped out at a crime scene when Batman is in detective mode
  • Bit of blood, it's a choose your own adventure so the player has some control on how cruel/violent they want to be in (for example) a interrogation scene, while a bit hard of a PG-13, most teens over the age of 13-14 should be fine playing this epic Batman adventure
  • The closest to gory is the scene at the docks where Batman tries to solve what caused the explosion. Mutilated bodies are all over the place.
  • The story-narrative largely unfolds automatically, with the player having limited control over Batman's movement during gameplay, but with the freedom to make dialogue and combat decisions via button presses in response to timed onscreen prompts.
  • There are investigative segments where the player will have to inspect and analyse crime scenes and search for clues and evidence to reconstruct the sequence of events.
  • Batman can often stalk and take on foes in stealth or hand-to-hand combat, and attack them with his wide array of gadgets such as a grapple gun or his 'batarangs' (weaponized boomerangs).
  • During combat sequences, the player will have to react fast to button and directional prompts to successfully defeat foes in melee fights with punches and kicks.
  • The player is often given choices to make that may result in various depictions of violence, such as the option of being more brutal during the interrogation of various villains.
  • There are depictions of blood spurting when characters are attacked.
  • Some scenes depict mutilated corpses and entrails in blood splattered environments.
  • The strongest scenes show characters having an arm broken or being impaled on a metal rod.
  • Overall, the level of violence in the game is still acceptable for an older teen audience, whereby realistic but not excessively graphic violence, with or without depictions of bloodletting, is included in gameplay.

Profanity

  • No f*cks, many other swears
  • Moderate

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
