Friday the 13th games for kids

If you have ever seen the movies it's literally that. That being said, I think it's fine to play as long as he isn't a moron.

Kids watching violence really doesn't do anything if you control them. Last edited by MessiahofMelons ; 19 May, am. I would say it depends on your subjective worldview No, probably not. The kills are quite gruesome; you can search up some of the videos for an idea.

For example, in one kill, Jason cuts off the arms of a counselor and then drives his weapon into their face. So yeah, probably not kid-friendly perse. Originally posted by Messiah of Melons :. When i was younger, like your son, I played horror games aswell and i watched horror movies, and yeah I was scared but my dad controled me very well and no issues, just don't let him play too much, give him a break after 1 hour playing, or 45 mins, and control him.

EDIT: Be with him when he is playing, don't let him be scared, if it's too much for him in first 2 hours just refund it. Originally posted by Podrick, Spocky Ghoost of Bread :.

In a kill-or-be-killed scenario, encourages violence as a last resort though, still, always an option , cooperation, communication first and foremost.

Extreme circumstances make reckless behavior understandable, but relationships presented, lack of in-game dialog make it too fuzzy to condone emulating anyone's behavior beyond their basic desire to survive.

Opens up more options, abilities the more you play, but these perks to make game slightly more customizable are given randomly, won't mean much without logging hours to learn basics through trial, error. Veritable clothesline of grisly violence, horrifying scenarios with a serial killer hunting innocent people, murder with lots of blood, gore.

Some characters are shown in loading screens to be wearing revealing outfits, posed while skinny dipping so as not to expose certain parts of anatomy. As an exclusively online multiplayer game, expect to hear plenty of frustrated or excited profanities in reaction to the onscreen action. Based on Friday the 13th movie franchise, which has spawned multiple movies, merchandise, games, and more.

Parents need to know that Friday the 13th: The Game , is a downloadable multiplayer based action game. Like the similarly named movies it's based on, it's definitely not intended for younger audiences. Rooted deeply in the general mythology and lore of those old slasher flicks, the survival-action game pits one person who plays as Jason against seven hopeful survivors who play as camp counselors.

There's very little story or nuance to the action here, as the game hinges and is centered on providing a cat-and-mouse, hunt-or-be-he-hunted dynamic in an online multiplayer game. The game's best aspects come to life largely by virtue of the spirit of collaboration and communication it indirectly encourages, which isn't to be discounted, but is clouded by the extreme amounts of violence and gore seen when characters are killed in grisly ways.

The game never directly tells you any of this, but heavily implies and assumes some level of familiarity with the series and basic plot. Instead, the focus is squarely on getting you into the action as fast as possible either to survive the killer or hunt the counselors round after round after round.

While still plagued with early technical flaws, this violent multiplayer game is a fun, though shallow and very primal experience. It's heavily reminiscent of a playground game of Tag, where the player who is "it" Jason , has to find the other players.

Players who aren't Jason are expected to communicate with one another via voice chat, as forming loose alliances and collaborating on tactics is the only way to assure getting out alive. Each game begins the same way: Seven non-Jason players spot him coming over the horizon and promptly run away. Players split up with a goal of either repairing a car or boat or calling the police.

If they're extremely lucky and tactical, they can also try to kill Jason before he successfully stalks and kills all of them. There are only three maps, which can make this repetitious act of survival and escape seem overly familiar and occasionally lacking in suspense, but most of the fun truly comes from frantically escaping tense interactions with Jason that occur at the most inopportune times. It's entertaining, horrifying, and incredibly exciting, and the only way to get out is to work together.

But as an online multiplayer game, it's not without some of the predictable hitches that occur in games like these. Even beyond the occasional server hiccups on console and PC are a lot of bugs: controls can be unresponsive, which is hard to forgive in such a strategic and twitchy game. There are also weird glitches like counselors randomly floating high above Jason into the ceilings, and a few other basic issues. It would be stretching it to say these bugs pop up frequently, but like Jason, again, they seem to occur at the absolute worst times.
