XCOM 2 is a tactical strategy game with strong violence—you command soldiers fighting alien invaders with frequent blood and injury animations. It features atmospheric horror elements and challenging difficulty that may frustrate younger players. While rated Teen, the intense combat and scary alien designs make it better suited for mature teenagers rather than younger children.
