Not recommended
Descent is a sci-fi shooter with strong violence and horror elements that may frighten younger children, despite its "Everyone 10+" rating. The claustrophobic atmosphere, intense combat, and challenging difficulty make it better suited for teens than younger players. Online multiplayer is available, so consider your child's maturity level before purchasing.
