Sure, there was some nasty stuff out there, but Dad steered us away from anything drastically age-inappropriate. Even before the debacle that was Gamergate, we were unimpressed by the self-appointed hall monitors who indicted video games as gruesomely amoral smut. When my father and I played through that scene together, we did something we had never done in 15 years of gaming: we shut the damn thing off. Progressing in the game means sending Kratos through the gates while their weight brings them lurching downward and forces the wheel to grind the victim, now off-screen, into a mangled corpse. Her frail body holds the wheel steady long enough to prop open the metal gates that block the way to the next stage. There he finds a quivering concubine, breasts heaving, and releases her from her bondage-only to drag her toward a massive wheel and chain her writhing to the spokes. Kratos, the dogged outcast of Olympus, has slaughtered his way into the bedchambers of the sea-god Poseidon. There is a scene in the PlayStation epic God of War III (2010) in which the player has no choice but to crush an innocent woman to death.
