Why do you think a kid can’t play GoW? When I was their age kids loved the original GoW trilogy which was a lot more adult/explicit. The new one isn’t too bad unless you consider hacking apart dark elves and norse zombies to be too adult for a 9 year old. I loved games like that at that age.

I can kind of understand The Last of Us, but also literally every kid I knew when I was younger was hugely into zombie games. Hopping into cod zombies or left 4 dead was an obsession for kids and teens alike.

There’s also other great exclusives like Horizon ZD/FW, Ghost of Tsushima, Ratchet and Clank, Spiderman franchise, FF16, Demon’s Souls Remake, Returnal, Astro’s Playroom, Kena Bridge of Spirits, Sackboy Big Adventure. There are also a boatload of E rated games from the PS4 generation which are all available on the PS5.

Keep in mind too that they already have been gaming on Switch a lot so they have had a ton of experience with E rated content and I would not be surprised in the least if they are itching to play some more teen-targeted stuff like PG-13 content.

The Way of Kings, Dune, Pet Sematary, Drawing of the Three, American Gods, Speaker for the Dead, The Hobbit

I just heard Stephen King pronounce “vegan” as “vejan” during his reading of Deperation.
