Parents need to know “Destiny 2: Forsaken” is a paid expansion to “Destiny 2,” which can be played on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PCs. This is a first-person sci-fi shooter focused on gun, melee and magical combat against a range of alien, robotic and — in competitive modes — human enemies.

The expansion’s story is focused on carrying out vengeance for the death of a close friend and ally. Fights are accompanied by screeches of pain, spurts of black blood/energy from aliens and robots and splashes of red blood that appear on the screen when a player-controlled character is injured. But the depiction of violence stops well short of showing more graphic content. Multiplayer modes demand cooperation and reward teamwork while fostering a welcoming atmosphere of friendly competitive play. Keep in mind this is primarily a multiplayer game, and kids will need play with others to access some content and have a real chance of success in certain modes, potentially exposing them to inappropriate content through chat.
