    Borderlands is soo fun! I’m not the person you’re replying to, but I love it, soo… It’s mostly run-and-gun, but there’s some puzzle-solving, and some light tactics. Very lighthearted fun, the game is terribly self-aware and loves to take the piss out of you and itself.

      Is it very violent/bloody? Sounds like something my son would like (he enjoys Fortnite and Overwatch), but he’s only 10.

        Lots of blood and gore—but the game is cell-shaded, so it’s quite cartoony.

        Biggest risk is that the humour can be very… risqué. But different people parent differently, and I’m not about to tell you what to do.

        Probably safe from 13 in my book, but I think the official ratings are way higher (17-18).

          Yeah you never know with age ratings. I found fortnite to be ok even though it’s rated 12+. Deep rock galactic is rated 16+ but apart from the odd swear word (which, frankly he’ll hear more often from me) I find that quite exaggerated. If there is a lot of gore and blue humour I’ll wait a while before trying it with him.
