Sex & Nudity

  • A few mild sex references
  • We hear several references to "the seed of the prophet resting in my womb".

Violence & Gore

  • Blood sprays when shooting human enemies with a wide array of guns.
  • The player can use Vigors to burn, and electrocute people, the player can also send murderous crows at enemies. After possessing a human, they will kill themselves.
  • The player can pull off brutal executions with a melee hook weapon, with blood splattering and spraying as you smack the metal hook into their face, chest, neck or stomach. You can also launch yourself from higher areas and perform an aerial attack as you drive the hook into their bodies, killing them instantly. You can also decapitate enemies by driving the hook into their throat and spinning it (blood flies everywhere and on the screen)
  • In the lighthouse at the beginning of the game, we see a a man tied to a chair with a bloody bag over his head and a pool of blood at his feet; pinned to his chest is a note that says "Don't disappoint us".
  • Booker attacks a police officer with a spinning hook weapon, driving it graphically into his face, letting blood spray all over himself, other characters, the ground, and the screen. As the officer falls we see the gory indent on his face.
  • We see a Chinese prisoner tied to a board as several malicious crows attack him, pecking at his face and leaving him dead and drenched in blood.
  • You see a Chinese man in a chair with a bloody, bruised, and cut up face (very graphic).
  • Booker smashes a man's head against a marble birdbath (we see blood on the birdbath and a bloody cut on his skull), then pushes his face into the water, drowning him.

Profanity

  • One character calls a priest an "idiot" in the beginning.
  • Language is surprisingly less strong than the previous two games. There are a few swear words such as "hell," "damn," "bastard," "s**t," and "you son of a bitch" that are occasionally used, but no f-words. Some mild name-calling.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Occasionally alcohol can be used to regain health, the player can also smoke.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Strong horror elements are present.
  • Much more gruesome and disturbing than the first game.
  • Game deals with some deep subjects like religion, regret, child abandonment, and the fact that choices we make are already predetermined.
  • This should be severe, Not at all moderate.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • Elizabeth is captured and has an electric shock plug inserted into her spinal column (we hear scream in pain throughout the area). When she is freed, Booker graphically removes the plug and we see the hole in her back as well as a bruised area around it and some bloody cuts on her back.
  • Several undead spirits are seen in different versions of the universe accessed through "tears". They stumble around and their noses are very bloody. At a few points in the game, Booker's nose also bleeds.
  • The Vox Populi attack Comstock's airship in a very violent and frenetic sequence. Countless enemies erupt from the Vox airships. Booker can call upon Songbird to destroy the fleet of ships.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • In the Comstock House, there is an asylum which houses lunatics. These enemies wear masks of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, or Benjamin Franklin, and were once citizens of Columbia, but were brainwashed. They can scare children and some teens.
