By game

Townfall: ESRB M, with Epic citing blood, strong language and violence, and PEGI 16. Silent Hill 2 remake: ESRB M, PEGI 18, USK 18. Silent Hill f: ESRB M, PEGI 18, USK 18, and CERO Z in Japan. Note that Townfall is rated lower in Europe, so do not assume all three are the same.

Trailers and streams

Official trailers are also mature content. Live streams show the full game, and Oggo hides streams that Twitch or Kick mark as mature, but this is not a perfect filter.

Tips for families

Check the rating on the store page, review the age settings on your console or Steam account, and talk to your teen about what they play. Indonesia lists all three games as banned on Steam, which shows how strict some regions are. None of the games has a known chat feature, but streams and videos may include other viewers' comments.
