(Rift, Oculus, Vive)
Rating: Mature
This is a VR puzzle game in which players assume the role of Batman
as he investigates a brutal murder. From a first-person perspective,
players explore Gotham City, solve puzzles, interrogate criminals,
and examine crime scenes for clues. In a handful of sequences,
players can view/reconstruct acts of violence: a thief shooting a man
and woman at close range; a video of a restrained character shot in
the head; a character getting his neck snapped. A handful of scenes
depict blood on characters' bodies and on the walls of some areas.
One protracted sequence takes place in a morgue, in which players
make close-up examinations of realistic-looking corpses; some of the
corpses are depicted with open wounds, severe bruises and burns, and
lacerations across their bodies.

Rating: Teen
This is an action/role-playing game in which players control a group

third-person perspective, players explore towns, complete quests, and
use swords and magic attacks to destroy dozens of fantastical enemy
monsters. Battles are highlighted by impact sounds, light effects,
and brief cries of pain. One enemy is called “Bloody Hand,” and
is depicted as a disembodied hand dripping with red slime-like blood.
Some female characters wear low-cut tops that expose moderate amounts
of cleavage; during one cutscene the camera lingers on a female
character's bikini-clad chest while she complains of being cold.
