10 Most Violent Video Games of 2016 (and What Kids Can Play Instead)

Dark Souls III, an action role-playing game is the latest title in a series that's known for challenging gameplay and brutal imagery. You play an adventurer trying to prevent the end of the world, fighting a path through a kingdom infested with evil human-like enemies and monsters. Wielding weapons including swords, spears, bows, and magic spells, you frequently walk past the remnants of the recently deceased (such as bodies hanging from trees) and step through pools of blood. Wounds spray blood through the air, and victims cry out in pain when struck.
Alternate action RPGs: Hyrule Warriors: Legends (age 10+), Xenoblade Chronicles X (age 13+).
