Attention parents! Common Sense over reacts once again!
This game is fine. Not 18+ AT ALL. You know how movies automatically bump up the rating to R if there is 2 or more uses of f--k? Same here. Some operators (characters) might drop an f-bomb, very rarely, but that's as innappropriate as this game gets. This game promotes strategy, teamwork, and puzzle-solving skills. Yes there are guns, and yes, there is blood, but it is VERY VERY mild and looks super fake. This game breaks the mold, using firearms as tools rather than weapons. It has a high focus on tactics and espionnage, rather than military. If your child plays games like Warface or Call of Duty, then there is no issue with R6S. Don't be put off by the artwork on the box, it's truly a masterpiece of a game.
I was worried at first, because my child (15M), wanted to play this, and the big scary M label was something for me to notice right of way. BUT! I did what any sensible parent would do, and look at honest gameplay on Youtube. Nothing alarming about this game whatsoever! If you, like me, are a parent who doesn't want their kid exposed to gun violence like COD or Battlefield, then don't worry about this game. Guns are a minor detail in it.
Sidenote for any parents with LGBT kids, this game is great for them too, as many positive and strong depictions of LGBT people are present here. Flores, an operator, is gay, and there is also a trans (mtf) operator (I forgot her name).

Great game
Its an amazing game with hardly any sensitive content within it and is a strategic 5v5 shooter which is played with operators from all other the world.

Great game for 12+
My son (12 years old)asked for this game so I did some research in it and i said ok I will let you play whilst I watch you for a bit. So I did and the TWO things I learnt from that is firstly violence is not to bad it is just a bit for blood and a bit of screaming when an enemy dies. The second bit is swearing I only heard s**t but that happend only once of a week watching him playing it ONLY ONCE apparently that there is a f**k but I haven’t heard it and I haven’t heard it when I was near his room he says “there are some characters which swear more and I was playing one of them for the whole week”
If you let your child play if you think they are mature or 12+ you should get it for them it is a great game my son says and you also battle terrorists so it’s sort of “hero’s”

Violent, hard and needs lots of time to master
TLDR: strategic, requires intelligence, very hard, multiplayer, violent
This is a highly strategic and difficult multiplayer shooter, thus will need dozens of hours to get the hang of it and hundreds to get good. It requires intelligence, game sense, reaction time and spatial memory.
You play as counter-terrorist agents. Environments are very dynamic (destruction) and allow an infinity of strategies on all maps.
It's visually realistic (guns, blood...), verbally offensive, the community can be pretty toxic (troll, insults...). Vocal chat on by default, so teammates can use slang.
I recommend playing with friends or at least a team you can communicate in vocal with, the game is very hard in solo queue.

Overexertion from ESRB and common sense
this is a FPS game (first person shooter) it involves killing, machine guns/pistols handguns rifles marksman's riffles and just guns common sense and ESRB are overexerting if a game is M Mature 17+ common sense thinks to rate it 18+ without much research there is blood but no gore and guts there is minimal drug reference from things like adrenal surges from FINKA and stim pistols from DOC players pick operators from around the world and fight in locations around the world
it is a very fun game makes sure your child is mature beside that its very fun and this game is on sale ALOT make sure to get it when it is thank you for reading

Exaggerated age rating
For anyone actually concerned about their kid picking up something bad about this game or being very violent, there is no real reason why you should be. The game has very mild violence no gore or torn limbs at most a tiny blood splatter(fun fact the game actually got rid of all of its gambling and sexual references and even toned down the blood a lot). The game has very mild language a few "F bombs" here and there which if it is a big issue to you(which it shouldn't) you can disable in game dialogue. There are no great role models every playable character is a highly skilled operator with a decently large background. I do recommend if your kid is younger to disable communications and play quick play or play with friends the game does promote teamwork and creating strategies to benefit you and your teammates(do note the playerbase is not really understanding the best,I could put it as is dysfunctional apes).

First off, I would like to point out that kids these days have seen violent and bloody things by the time they’re 9 years old. And even so, this game hardly raises any red flags. When my 13 year old son asked me if he could get this game, I immediately got to researching and found nothing too concerning. The worst thing I could see was the realism of the weapons, but they weren’t as real as they are in games like COD. The blood is realistic but it disappears almost instantly after it appears, so the impact is small. There is hardly any language at all throughout the game. The most I found is one f bomb. When my 11 and 9 year olds ask me to get this game (which I know they will) I’ll tell them to just wait a few more years until they are 13. And if you sit with your child as they play, maybe I could recommend it for 12.

Fun but repetitive gameplay
I want to give it five stars, but it just doesn't deserve it. The gameplay is too repetitive, and there's just not enough content to keep it fun. With that said, the PvP is pretty fun, with tons of characters to play and lots of maps to choose from. It's not that violent, and most of the swearing is in different languages.
Altogether Rainbow Six Siege is a good game with some repetitive aspects. It is probably only worth it on sale.

Amazing Team vs. Team-Based Shooter
Would only recommend to 14+ due to violence and profanity. It has comparable amounts of violence to any mainstream superhero movie you will see in the theaters nowadays and children hear excessive profanity in all realms of schooling nowadays. However I would still want to make sure my child were at a good maturity before allowing them to play.

Great game! just a few things to know...
i think r6s is a great and fun game that teaches you how to communicate with your team to get the best out of the game.
the violence is there and noticeable there is never any gore (except in some cutscenes which are skippable for example the cutscene for Kapcan one of the r6 operators is kinda disturbing with the main character talking while behind a mostly blinded glass window some of the bad guys are walking only to be exploded in a shower of blood on the glass but like i said these are skippable) in terms of bad language there is some mild language in game including one f-bomb from thermite and you will hear swearing from other people online but if you are with your kid/turn off voice chat when you are not with them it will be ok...
as long as you think your child/teen can handle the mild violence/language then it will be ok.
one last thing in the outback map you can find a sign of a stripper pole with an arrow. although even if you follow the arrow you never see anything.
thats it from me sorry it was long but i just thought you all aught to know.
