Rating Summary
This is an action game in which players assume the role of Bryce Boltzman, an immortal demon hunter on a quest to save the world from a demonic invasion. From a third-person perspective, players use swords, pistols, and machine guns to kill demons and enemy creatures in both ranged and melee-style combat. Battles are accompanied by realistic gunfire, explosions, screams of pain, and large splashes of blood; enemies are sometimes hacked into pieces. One gameplay mechanic involves the frequent dismemberment of Bryce (e.g., getting hit by a car or helicopter blade and reduced to scattered body parts); players can manipulate, regenerate, and reassemble dismembered limbs to solve environmental puzzles and complete battle sequences. Some cutscenes also depict intense acts of violence: a rival getting beheaded with a sword; a companion getting impaled in slow motion. The words “sh*t,” “a*s,” and “b*tch” can be heard in the dialogue.
