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

Set on a tropical island, The Culling is a first-person shooter with a twisted, Hunger Games-like premise: Players are contestants on a televised game show where the last man or woman standing wins. Players get 20 minutes to scavenge for resources, make weapons, and create traps and land mines to kill opponents — who shed graphic amounts of blood and gore when attacked. As you successfully eliminate other players and survive for extended periods of time, you're rewarded with points that you can use to acquire additional items for the next brutal episode.
Alternate multiplayer games: Wondershot (age 10+), Battleborn (age 13+).
