not for learning

I see why it was given an M rating, however, almost all violence on a regular basis can be avoided, generally you don't need to hurt anyone. If you choose to kill on a regular basis, there is a little blood but not much, but again it's not necessary. This game does show positive messages such as the main character's care for the princess. Your choices throughout the game decide the ending, it is rated M for mature so parents be cautious but as you may learn it can be quite a good and appropriate for mature teens around 14 and 15+

This game is simply amazing. But, I will get back to that later. First, I will lay down the negatives. Violence: Violence is probably the main issue, as you can stab,shoot,and poison your victims. Language: You may here a few f bombs and other foul language, but not much. If your child has ever played a first person shooter, he has heard alot worse. Sexual content: I'll make this quick. There barely is any. Some of the woman are refered to as wh*&es, but that's about it. Overall, this game is fantastic and suitable for mature 10 year olds and up.

Dishonored is one of the first single player games to blow me away in the past few years. The gameplay and combat are amazing, the story is easy to follow and fun, and Corso is an amazing hero and savior in the game. The violence in the game can get pretty graphic, though the game actually encourages as little violence and death as possible (alternate endings). There are MANY different ways to complete objectives, some of which effect you later. There are sexual themes (girl in bathtub, girls in brothel), but no sex and nudity is shown. The focus always stays on Corso's goal and doesn't detract for petty side-quests. Would rate this a good game for any adult and mature teenager.
