Dark Souls III is a challenging action RPG with intense combat featuring graphic violence, strong language, and disturbing imagery that makes it inappropriate for children. The game includes online multiplayer where your child may encounter other players, and its extreme difficulty may frustrate younger gamers. This is strictly for mature teens and adults.
