What to watch for

The game features a moderate level of violence consistent with the Star Wars universe. While there are no monetization pressures or social risks, the focus on combat and a solitary narrative limits social-emotional development opportunities. The 'T' rating from the ESRB indicates content suitable for teenagers, and parents should consider the level of fantasy violence.
