Parental Notes
The sentiment among parents is mostly negative when it comes to letting kids play this hypothetical World of Goo 2. While the game is praised for its engaging physics-based puzzles, it includes mild profanity and suggestive themes that concern many parents. The game features a scene where a character is shot and dies, which some find inappropriate for younger audiences. Additionally, suggestive content such as a red-light district sign, innuendo, and characters in provocative situations are present. These elements lead many parents to recommend the game for teens 13 and older, as they feel the mature themes are not suitable for younger children.
