Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster

Kids can learn about strategy and decision-making through this game's sophisticated turn-based combat system. Battles start with a careful analysis of the opposition in order to deduce strengths and weaknesses. Then players make decisions about which of their characters are best suited for specific enemies and which abilities they ought to use. They'll also be forced to adjust their tactics as combat progresses and circumstance evolve. Unlike many battle-oriented games, Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster isn't a test of reflexes but rather a mental challenge that encourages players to consider their actions and develop intricate strategies.

There is a wide range of personalities in both games, but all of the primary heroes are good people. Some are forced to deal with family issues, some experience grief, some wrestle with burdensome responsibilities. But they tend to do right in the end, and frequently try to help each other along the way. Just keep in mind that doing the right thing in a game like this often involves killing a whole bunch of fantastical foes.

Turn-based combat focuses mostly on a mix of melee and magical attacks. Characters either jump forward to swing a weapon or cast a spell that results in lights dancing across the screen. Characters stagger when struck, sometimes crying out. Injured characters appear hunched over and in pain. There's no blood or gore, save one non-interactive scene in which a few quick splashes spurt from a fiendish creature. A massive, town-destroying creature known as Sin often leaves lifeless bodies strewn in its wake.

Infrequent use of words including "hell," "damn," and "pissed."

Drinking isn't shown, but one character is described as an alcoholic who accidentally attacked an innocent animal in one of his drunken stupors.
