Yeah I had a hard time questioning in my head if I had kids what age Assassin's creed games were fine. I was going to say 10 was fine, but then remembered the whole premise was killing people, so I imagine to me it would be kid specific. That said, when I was younger than 10 it was the 90s so I have little to compare it to except maybe Tenchu, which was a lot of fun to me when I was 9 or 10, but things have gotten a little bit more graphic today I imagine.
I wasn’t allowed to play violent video games as a kid, but the other kids on my street were, so when it was too miserable outside for playing road hockey or shooting each other with toy guns or whatever, we’d play whatever games they had (a lot of Halo especially). Halo CE was my first ever video game, and it never scarred me or anything, and I turned out fine. Obviously everyone’s different and YMMV.
