Negatives

•Rated Mature 17+ and PEGI 18 for intense violence, blood and gore, strong language, use of drugs and alcohol, and mild sexual themes
•Combat is graphic and persistent, with executions, screams of pain, severed limbs and dismembered bodies in cutscenes
•In-game purchases include a very large number of cosmetic bundles plus some non-cosmetic items and paid time-savers
•A rotating Black Market shop sells a changing weekly selection of items, encouraging regular return visits
•Online co-op can match players with random partners rather than only people they know

Positives

•A large open world of jungles, beaches and a capital city that players can explore at their own pace
•Weapon and gear mods give players some freedom to customise how they approach missions
•Online co-op lets two players work through the campaign and special missions together, with progress shared
•A story-rich campaign centred on a resistance movement against an oppressive regime, which can prompt family discussion
•Stealth options mean not every encounter has to be solved with direct combat
