Can anyone think of an open world type game similar to GTA that is suitable for under 18s?
They either seem to be full of swearing etc or designed for kiddies such as Toy Story 3 or the Lego games.
is there anything that sits somewhere in-between?

As for recent examples, you don't say which format you have, but Infamous Second Son on PS4 has very little in the way bad launguage.
Alternatively, Sunset Overdrive on Xbox One is full of it, but you can choose to bleep the swearing out.
Both are open world, but not particularly "similar" to GTA V.
Yeah, that's a good point. This question was raised after a friend asked me if GTA would be suitable for her 12 and 14 year old boys. I said no. Got me thinking that I couldn't think of any big release games that feature open world type gameplay that were suitable without being overly childish. Havent played the new one but would think Far Cry wouldnt be suitable. Far Cry 3 wasnt. I think even the Batman Arkham games feature the odd swear.
Maybe the Tomb Raider remake would fit.
Because there's always Skyrim on the old ones. I wouldn't consider Tomb Raider an open world game. You can return to previous areas but it's not really open world.
Oh and don't knock the Lego games. They're awesome. Lego Marvel Superheroes is my favourite and that has quite a nice open world in it.
Thanks for the suggestions.
+1 Cracking game, and very clean!
What about Nintendo games like Zelda. Maybe not very open world but certainly suitable for younger folk.
Skyrim & DA are only rated that because of the abundance of violence. But it is mainly fantasy violence.
At nearly 15 I have bought GTA V on PS4 for my oldest...
The youngest has no chance at 11... Although I have let him fly a plane wth no sound
I agree. I would be quite happy a 12 year old playing Skyrim. There's no swears or sexytime.
Personally I don't like playing as a criminal, that always gets me.
(Absolutely fantastic game imo) 😉
It is, wish I had kept it, traded it in last year
CEX is ya friend! 😉 ... I still can't believe it never got a multiplatform release! 🙈
Theres a fair amount of sex in DA, so it's more than 'just' violence.
Skyrim is probably ok. The violence there is more like Lord of the Rings/Hobbit level, so ok for early teenagers.
They're in a bit of a middle ground, too old for proper kids games, but not old enough for more adult things. Once they get to around 15/16, then they're probably ok.
+2. Genuinely one of my favourite games of all time, completed it three times I think. Traded it in a couple of years ago and have regretted it numerous times when I've been in the mood for playing it.
