Rating issues

This game features violence towards human-characters who are restrained. One scene depicts a male character with his hands restrained behind his back, forced to his knees and punched in the face. There is also a scene where unarmed DEA soldiers are being held at gunpoint, on their knees with their hands on their heads and one of them gets hit around the head. Unarmed hostages can also be killed during some missions, although they are not restrained.
The game also contains the use of the word “fuck” and its derivatives.
There are scenes throughout the whole game which show piles of drugs and cash, illustrating drug production in Columbia. The game also allows you to play as the narcos to build up your drug cartel and protect it from the DEA as well as missions to help improve profits from the drug production.

Other issues

The game also features realistic violence towards human characters with characters being shot and killed with blood splatters.
Also features bad language such as “piss”, “shit”, “bastard”, “bitches”, “asshole”.
