Rating issues

This game contains infrequent depictions of gross violence towards human-like characters. The most pertinent example of this can be seen in a cutscene where a man is chained up to a pole and repeatedly beaten. The scene concludes with the victim being stabbed in the eye and blinded. This game also contains depictions of violence towards defenceless human characters. In two separate scenes men are restrained and beaten as a form of torture. Both are repeatedly struck by their captor with various weapons. Visible wounds such as cuts and bruises can be seen appearing on their skin, whilst they can be heard grunting and screaming in pain. There is also a scene which contains a depiction of sexual threat. During a cutscene a woman is restrained whilst a man gropes and undresses her against her will. This game also contains frequent use of sexual expletives. The word “fuck” and its derivatives can be found throughout. This game also features moving images which teach and encourage the use of games of chance. The player can enter a traditional casino where they can exchange their in-game money for chips, which can then be used on traditional table games such as poker, blackjack and roulette.

Other issues

Multiple characters are depicted smoking and drinking throughout the runtime of the game. This is primarily seen during the games cutscenes.
