Interestingly enough, Wiki/TheOtherWiki has an article on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolent_video_game video games on this level]].
* ''VideoGame/TwoThousandAndFortyEight''
* ''Adopt Me!'' (VideoGame/{{Roblox}})[[note]]Usually, there's no violence, and if there is, it's in the form of mild slapstick. The most violent thing that could happen, and the only instance that ranks as level 1, was the reindeer falling onto the ground and blacking out when you're too late to rest them in [[TemporaryOnlineContent the 2019 Christmas event]], though there were no visible injuries and the reindeer recovered in an instant.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/AShortHike''
* ''VideoGame/BabaIsYou''
* ''VideoGame/ChexQuest''[[note]] There isn't any real violence in this game; all the enemies just get teleported back to their home dimension. Funnily enough, this game is a Doom port! [[/note]]

Then they quickly come back alright.[[/note]]
* ''[[HGame H-Doom]]'' [[note]] All of the blood in the game is replaced by you pacifying the enemies with the power of love! This game is NSFW for a different reason altogether... [[/note]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Minesweeper}}'' [[note]] Unless you find the exploding mines violent.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Pong}}''
* ''VideoGame/{{Proteus}}'' [[note]] No characters, combat, or violence. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/PurrPals'' [[note]] The only thing that even comes close to being violent is the player's kitten being able to break expensive furniture such as vases and the player being able to use a water gun on their kitten. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Snood}}'' [[note]] Characters turn into spooky skulls upon failure, but no violence. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Spiritfarer}}''
* ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'' [[note]] There aren't even characters! [[/note]]

* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' [[note]]Some cutscenes approach level 3[[/note]]
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' (2D Games)
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword''
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker''
* ''VideoGame/MasterOfMagic''
* ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic''
* ''VideoGame/MoshiMonsters''[[note]]Cute little critters get transformed into evil creatures but there's no onscreen TransformationHorror and it's not irreversible. Bloodless slapstick.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MyLittlePonyFightingIsMagic'' and its SpiritualSuccessor, ''VideoGame/ThemsFightinHerds''
* ''VideoGame/{{PN03}}'' [[note]] Security drones blow up and the player simply passes out when taking too much from sci-fi artillery. [[/note]]
* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' [[note]] Battles are bloodless and have no death. Although some Pokedex entries mention brutal violence such as prey being ripped apart or melted with acid, but there isn't much detail. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'' [[note]] The player can be killed by turrets or other dangers, but unlike the first game, there is no blood. Mild body horror described in audio logs, though not in detail and it's played for BlackComedy.[[/note]]
* VideoGame/{{Roblox}}:
** ''Natural Survival Disaster'' [[note]]Players can get killed in various natural disasters, but fall apart in Roblox style[[/note]]
** ''Welcome to Bloxburg'' [[note]]Players can be killed by TNT explosions in the mine, but just fall and respawn. Otherwise a 0.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Subnautica}}'' [[note]]The only lethal weapon the player has is a hunting knife. Killing anything bigger than a smaller fish is nearly impossible. Creature-on-player violence is bloodless and fatal attacks are never displayed.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld2YoshisIsland''
* ''VideoGame/TotallyAccurateBattleSimulator'' [[note]]Combatants fight and die in a hilarious manner, and there is no blood. [[/note]]
* ''[[VideoGame/{{Turok}} Turok: Escape From Lost Valley]]'' [[note]] Cutesy/cartoonish dinosaurs and humans bloodlessly collapse and puff away when defeated with arrows and clubs. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TheUrinalGame''[[note]]Mainly just potty humour, but there's one scene of an old man dying of shock played for BlackComedy.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/ValiantHearts''
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Level 3]]
* ''VideoGame/AgeOfMythology''
* ''VideoGame/BattlefieldBadCompany'' [[note]] Soldiers sent flying by explosions. General light BlackComedy. Enemies just go limp from shootings/melee without even physical impact responses. A light 3, and by far the tamest in the franchise. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{BPM}}'' [[note]] You shoot fantasy creatures that burst into flames or goo. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Burnout}}'' (3-Paradise) [[note]] Cars can get burned to a crisp in explosions. There are also visible drivers now; although they seem oblivious to all the carnage. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/CloneDroneInTheDangerZone'' [[note]]Voxel-based combat models where sword swipes can slice off individual portions of the body, including the limbs and head; hammer strikes can instantly reduce characters into piles of LudicrousGibs. However, since all the characters are robots, there's no blood or suffering depicted, though the hardness is elevated a bit by the fact some of them possess [[BrainUploading human minds]].[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Commandos}}''
* ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot3Warped'' [[note]] Rated this high because of a single slapsticky death animation that is quite harsh: The giant eel death in the underwater levels. The rest of the violence is level 2. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/CrashTwinsanity'' [[note]] Rated this high for a cutscene in which [[spoiler: Cortex's brains are pulled out of his ear with telekinetic powers. However, this is very cartoonish: No blood or gore is seen (aside from the brain itself) and Cortex doesn't die.]] The rest of the violence is level 2. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Disciples}}''
* ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}''
* ''VideoGame/EmpireEarth''
* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' [[note]] Later games go up to a hard 5 or light 6, however. [[/note]]
* ''Franchise/FireEmblem''
* ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' [[note]]Though some cutscenes and deaths reach a light 5. Many offscreen child death make this a harder 3. [[/note]]
* ''[[VideoGame/GhostRecon Ghost Recon 2]]'' [[note]] Bloodless deaths by realistic weaponry (smoke-puff impacts) and explosives. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/HelloNeighbor'' [[note]]The Neighbor frequently tries to catch the child protagonist, even with {{Bear Trap}}s, but doesn't injury them seriously.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/HeroesOfMightAndMagic'' (Creator/{{Ubisoft}}-published games)
* ''VideoGame/HollowKnight'' [[note]] Zombie bugs are struck with splashes of orange goo. Mantises break apart into body parts and grey bug blood. Light BodyHorror, including [[spoiler: [[ArtifactTitle The Hollow Knight]] repeatedly stabbing their infected chest]]. Some mobs are clearly said to be babies [[spoiler: although they are already dead from the infection]]. Assorted GallowsHumor. Would be higher if the characters weren't insects. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'' [[note]] Bloodless fantasy combat against monsters that burst into dust upon death. Some attacks non-graphically light enemies on fire. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/IL2Sturmovik''
* ''VideoGame/TheJackboxPartyPack'' [[note]]''Trivia Murder Party'' dispatches losing players with Franchise/{{Saw}}-inspired sadistic deaths. However, since players are represented by stuffed pincushions, the impact is darkly comical at worst.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/JakII'' [[note]] Fantastical guns and powers kill enemies (and civilians) into purple sparks; and vehicle collisions can send them flying and grunting. Jak's fantastical torture. A harder 3. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' [[note]] Cartoonish fantasy combat against monsters. Dead enemies explode into dust. Goreless eye trauma, non-humanoid enemies cartoonishly set on fire. There are also non-descript pulsating organs that can be picked up. A pretty hard 3. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' ([=3DS=] remake)[[note]] Some non humanoid enemies emit a little bit of green blood when slashed and puff away when killed. Goreless eye trauma. The original 64 version is a light 4 for Ganondorf coughing red blood and the blood stains in "The Bottom of the Well". [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork''
* ''VideoGame/MegaManLegends''
* ''VideoGame/MightAndMagic''
* ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' (main series) [[note]] Creatures blow up non graphically, or on rare occasion leave puddles of goo. ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'' is a level 5, however.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' [[note]]Players and mobs can die from crafted weapons, fire, TNT, and potions, but they just faint in red and disappear. Zombie creatures feature and a few have exposed bones, but it's never that gory.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Mopeio}}'' [[note]]Animals eat other animals and use special attacks, which do barely any visual damage. Animals dead of natural causes turn into piles of meat. Sharks and T-rexes can bite onto animals and release pieces of meat out. Animals can "bleed" by flashing red.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/Persona4''
* ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies''[[note]]Mutant plants fight cartoonishly against zombies, whose limbs and head fall off when damaged, only exposing bone and a teeny bit of flesh, no blood. Zombies are clearly after your brain, and will eat it [[ScreamDiscretionShot off-screen]] if you fail. Plants disappear when destroyed.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank'' [[note]] Cartoonishly blowing away scores of aliens and robots with over the top weapons. Occasional goo seen. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/RiseOfNations''
* ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxHitTheRoad'' [[note]]Extremely cartoony slapstick frequent throughout, including one instance of a BigBallOfViolence - intro cutscene shows Max pummelling a man with blood spurts coming out, but it's only shown in silhouette and the man in question turns out to be some kind of robot. Occasional implied off-screen death.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/Section8'' [[note]] Straight-faced sci-fi warfare with ballistic weapons, but all opponents are heavily suited and there is no blood or injury depicted. Opponents sent flying by explosives. A light 3. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}'' [[note]] Zombies cartoonishly dismantled with no blood. Some of their body parts collected in inventory. Attempted cannibalism played for laughs. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TheSims'' [[note]]Characters can die in fires, get electrocuted, or drown, but it's not graphic. Kids usually don't die.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/SplitSecond2010'' [[note]] Racecar drivers are obliterated by cataclysmic explosive events. There is no visible human harm though. [[/note]]
* ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' [[note]] Though the bruised and battered faces during the continue screen in the first two games border on level 4. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' [[note]] Caroonishly setting opponents on fire. Frenetic, over-the-top physical and fantastic combat between characters, no blood. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TitanQuest'' [[note]] surprisingly for a HackAndSlash. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TransformersWarForCybertron'' [[note]] Sentient robots explode when shot, including headshots. [[/note]]
* ''[[VideoGame/TwistedMetal Twisted Metal: Small Brawl]]''
* ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe''
* ''VideoGame/VoodooVince'' [[note]] Cartoonish and low-consequence depiction of self-harm towards a doll. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/WarioLand'' [[note]] It's here due to the ability to set Wario on fire and for some GrossOutShow elements. [[VideoGame/WarioLandSuperMarioLand3 The first]] [[VideoGame/VirtualBoyWarioLand two games]] are a Level 1.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TheWonderful101''
* ''Work at a Pizza Place'' (VideoGame/{{Roblox}}) [[note]]You can burn yourself [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential and NPC customers]] in the ovens, but burnt Robloxians just have black skin and fall apart Roblox-style. Game is otherwise a 0.[[/note]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Level 4]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Abuse}}''
* ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath''
* ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie and VideoGame/BanjoTooie'' [[note]] Yes, really. Clunker's insides are rendered with an unsettling amount of gory detail, and shooting at Lord' Woo Fak Fak's boils in Tooie will cause him to spew a considerable amount of blood in the water. The cartoonish art style and lack of detail prevent either of them from reaching a 5. Otherwise a 2, with some characters getting killed in slapstick fashion. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/Battlefield2042'' [[note]] For semi-distant POV, bloodless throat slash animations with no details and mild blood clouds only visible from extreme distances. Otherwise a 3 for absolutely miniscule drips of blood from realistic guns. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Bully}}''[[note]]Bloodless, juvenile mischief. Although you can kick children in the testicles.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight''
* ''VideoGame/{{Contra}}'' (1-Shattered Soldier) [[note]] Some blood is seen on the shirts of the player when they are killed. Some monstrous non-humanoid enemies blow up into goo and body parts. Recurring boss resembles a beating heart, but no blood or gore is involved. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/CrashTagTeamRacing'' [[note]] Much more cartoonishly violent weapons and slapstick compared to ''CTR'' and ''Nitro Kart'', and most of the [[TheManyDeathsOfYou Die-O-Ramas]] are pretty outlandish as well. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/CrusaderKings'' [[note]] Due to the series' more mature concepts, such as religious executions[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Driv3r}}'' [[note]] Characters; including civilians, grunt and somewhat realistically keel over. Offscreen headshots. Implied torture. Shooting/killing of unarmed victim. All bloodless. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/DustAnElysianTail'' [[note]] Slightly gruesome zombies. One boss has blood stains on his body. Offscreen mass murder and genocide. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/EatLeadTheReturnOfMattHazard''
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics''
* ''VideoGame/{{Flatout}}'' [[note]] Harsh collisions send drivers flying, ragdolling and and smashing about in slapstick, sometimes rube-goldberg-ish ways. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' [[note]]Would be rated a low or borderline 2 for Boyfriend cartoonishly turning into a skeleton whenever he loses a battle. However, the appearance of [[spoiler:Monster]] in Weeks 2 and 5, [[spoiler:Spirit getting ripped out of Senpai]] in Week 6 and some blood and gun-related violence in Week 7 put it up here. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/GoldenEye1997'' [[note]] Blood spots seen on enemies when they are shot. They also twitch and grunt with each impact. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Hulk}}'' [[note]] Military personnel and supervillains can be battered with bludgeoning weapons, gas tankers can be blown up, etc. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/Jak3'' [[note]] Slightly higher than it's predecessor for enhanced ragdoll on killed enemies and the dried-up monk breaking apart. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/JediFallenOrder'' [[note]] Single dismemberment of not remotely human creatures. Humans only have burn marks from slashes. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask''
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess''
* ''VideoGame/LostPlanet''
* ''VideoGame/MedalOfHonor'' (1 and 2) [[note]] Enemies exaggeratedly twitch around when shot like an old war movie, with no blood. The unreleased prototype build is on level 8 with dismemberment and graphic blood spewing. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' [[note]] Darker subject matter with plots that directly acknowledge the [[KillEmAll killing of innocents en masse]] mostly without explicit visuals. Some games also feature beloved Reploid characters smashed or dismembered in a goreless but disheartening way [[spoiler: (though this is rarely of any real consequence)]].[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'' [[note]] Same as the above, plus minor spurts of blood are seen when humans are killed. The [[=GBA=]]'s graphical limits prevents this from bordering on 5. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MercenariesPlaygroundOfDestruction'' [[note]] Bloodless but somewhat intense hard 3 violence with realistic guns and explosives with civilians frequently caught in the crossfire. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MetalArmsGlitchInTheSystem'' [[note]]Outrageously over-the-top violence that includes blowing enemies to smithereens, exploding heads, and bisection. The catch is, all of the characters are robots. Elevated from a 1-2 because the robots are sentient and scream as if in pain when killed.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime'' [[note]] Some creatures explode into goo and chunks, relatively humanoid enemies ragdoll and grunt when shot. Injured/dead space pirates with green wounds and blood. There's also fairly graphic descriptions of internal trauma in scans, making this a hard 4. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MirrorsEdge'' [[note]] You can perform bloodless headshots on helmeted enemies. Otherwise level 2. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MotorStorm'' [[note]] Drivers and pedestrians are sent brutally ragdolling upon collisions. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' [[note]] Slight amount of blood comes off of players. Fairly unrealistic violence. Several characters are subject to BodyHorror offscreen. A light 4. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Outcast}}'' [[note]] Bloodless shootings against humanoid and non-humanoid aliens. [[/note]]
* VideoGame/{{Roblox}}: [[note]]All Roblox games listed below feature bloodless combat with realistic weapons, defeated players just faint[[/note]]
** ''Arsenal''
** ''{{VideoGame/Jailbreak|Roblox}}''
** ''Murder Mystery 2''
** ''VideoGame/{{Piggy}}''
* ''VideoGame/RuneScape''
* ''Comicbook/RoboCopVersusTheTerminator'' (SNES version)
* ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus'' [[note]] Giant sentient Colossi spew black blood when stabbed. Would be a 6 if the blood was red and stayed. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog'' [[note]]For starters, you shoot with realistic guns. Humans faint bloodlessly into unconciousness, but the aliens do die and leak some minor green AlienBlood and chunks. Then you get to a flashback of Maria being shot (albiet with a cut to white), terrorist plots, and [[spoiler:killing Doctor Eggman in one swipe]]. The game was originally going to be a solid 5, with aliens having red blood and Maria being shot onscreen, but it was toned down to fit for the new E10+ rating.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/ShellShockers'' [[note]]Would've been a level 8-9 if it weren't for the fact you play as walking eggs who get cracked open into yolk by realistic guns and grenades[[/note]]
* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' [[note]] The first game, while not visually graphic; involves the apocalypse killing most of the human population. Later entries get more graphic and reach at least level 6 with images of bloody bodies and more. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Slender}}'' [[note]]No blood, but it's certainly implied Slender Man kills or does whatever nasty thing to his victims[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Soul Series}}'' [[note]] Characters are stabbed and slashed in combat, but there is no blood. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/SplosionMan'' [[note]] Enemies are blown up and "dismembered" into fountains of fully procured meat products. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Spore}}'' [[note]] Cell creatures break into meat chunks upon death. Child creatures can be killed. Dead civillian creatures. None of this is graphic though. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheForceUnleashed'' [[note]] Brutal lightsaber combat with no blood or dismemberment but with copious ragdoll. Character blinded by lightsaber to face. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/SteelBattalion'' [[note]] Overwhelming firepower from mechs on humans in a [[RealRobotGenre gritty]] military setting. Would be a 3 if it was just boots on ground combat. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/SurvivorFire'' [[note]] Atari2600 sprites; one of whom is a little girl; can die in a fire with no graphic detail. A very light 4. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/Tekken4'' [[note]] Harsh fist fighting, no blood. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TotalWar''
* ''VideoGame/TransformersFallOfCybertron'' [[note]] Ups the ante with having moments of sentient machines injured and suffering; sometimes before dying. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' [[note]] One route involves wiping out entire populated areas, many of the times the victims have no hope of defeating you. The final boss of this run bleeds quite a bit too before death. If not for the pixel art style and all this being inflicted on non-humans, it would be higher. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles''
* ''VideoGame/{{Whiplash}}'' [[note]] Cartoonishly brutal slapstick involving electrocution, burning and drowning of a very resiliant chained rabbit. [[/note]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Level 5]]
* ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresII'' [[note]]Sprites of dead units have streams of blood flowing from wounds, bodies decompose over time. Gruesome historical massacres are described in single-player cutscenes.[[/note]]
* ''[[VideoGame/AloneInTheDark Alone In The Dark (Original Trilogy)]]''
* ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' [[note]] Cartoony thumb people get non-graphically bitten in half and impaled through the face with a little bit of blood seen. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/ApexLegends'' [[note]] Moderate sized puffs of blood. [[/note]]
* ''[[VideoGame/ArmyMen Army Men: Sarge's War]]'' [[note]] [[DarkerAndEdgier Realistic guns]] dismember, blow holes in, decapitate, melt and cause surprisingly disturbing body horror to plastic humanoids as they scream in pain. Would be higher if they were actual people. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Battlefield}}'' (1942) [[note]] Puffs of blood with somewhat realistic animations. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Black}}'' [[note]] The gameplay features no blood but brief images of blood and torture appear in cutscenes. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Blackthorne}}''
* ''VideoGame/BloodAndTruth'' [[note]] Blood puffs from gunshots. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/BushidoBlade''
* ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' (1-3) [[note]] Puffs of blood and somewhat realistic dying animations. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/CaveStory'' [[note]] One boss dies by dissolving into blood, but there's no mess left behind. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/CrashOfTheTitans'' [[note]] Large slapstick combat and BloodlessCarnage. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/CrashMindOverMutant'' [[note]] Large slapstick combat and BloodlessCarnage. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Daikatana}}'' (N64 version) [[note]] Multi-color blood splashes and mild gibs. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/DeusExInvisibleWar'' [[note]] Unrealistic blood squirts from attacks on humans. One ability turns bodies into a large blood cloud. However there is never any mess or splatter. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind'' [[note]] Disturbing body horror as a result of a disease. Mild blood puffs with fantasy creatures and humanoids make it otherwise a 4. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/FreedomPlanet'' [[note]]One character's head is gorelessly obliterated (it just turns into feathers). Brutal, albeit bloodless electric torture. [[spoiler:Severed, hair-like appendages which are easy to miss.]] One boss monster's face is non-graphically destroyed, causing his eyes to dangle out of his head (his optic nerves are yellow instead of red). [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/GhostReconAdvancedWarfighter'' [[note]] Non staining, low brutality blood sprays from realistic shootings. A light 5. [[/note]]
* ''[[VideoGame/{{Haydee}} Haydee II]]'' [[note]] Organic, humanoid enemies emit blood puffs when shot and killed, as does the fully human player. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Iconoclasts}}'' [[note]] For [[spoiler: Elro getting his arm ripped off]], the deaths of [[spoiler: [[LudicrousGibs Agent Grey, Chrome]], [[BodyHorror Black]] and Birdman]], as well as [[spoiler: [[FacialHorror Fitzroy's]]]] penultimate phase. Most of these (especially The former) would be at least a 7 if not for the cartoony pixel graphics and [[AlienBlood colorful blood]]. Otherwise, level 2. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TheIncredibleHulkUltimateDestruction'' [[note]] Innocent civilians and military personnel can be beaten senselessly, thrown hundreds of feet in the air, battered with bludgeoning weapons, uppercutted, and so on. Cows can also be used as shields against missiles or as melee weapons. A particularly gruesome death scene can happen in [[spoiler:Devil Hulk's boss battle where he devours Hulk as we hear a SickeningCrunch]]. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Intruder}}'': [[note]] Some blood upon being shot. Realistic weaponry but simple graphics. A light 5. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'' [[note]] Over-the-top superhero carnage with some blood splashes (that don't splatter) but nobody dies. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/JustCause1'' [[note]] Fairly large puffs of blood upon shooting enemies, but no staining or injury detail. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MarsWarLogs''
* ''VideoGame/{{MDK}}''
* ''VideoGame/MDK2''
* ''VideoGame/MedalOfHonor'' (From ''Allied Assault'' to ''Airborne'') [[note]] Mild blood puffs with slightly realistic dying animations. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime3Corruption'' [[note]] For more violent animations such as [[spoiler: Rundas']] death and space pirates burning to death and being gibbed into blue chunks. Space pirates [[spoiler and Samus]] display body and FacialHorror from Phazon abuse. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MetroidDread'' [[note]] [[spoiler: Kraid's]] BodyHorror, Corpius's blood stained room and [[spoiler: Raven Beak getting bloodlessly clawed in the eye]] bump it up to this level. Otherwise it's a 3 with most other 2D Metroid games. [[/note]]
* ''Videogame/MortalKombatVsDCUniverse'' [[note]]Notably toned down from the other ''Mortal Kombat'' games (which are at levels 8, 9, and 10), due to Executive meddling from DC. Some blood is still included, but less frequent. Fatalities are much more mild.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MountAndBlade'' [[note]]Sword combat with blood splashes. Goes down to a 4 with blood disabled and up to a 7-8 with decapitation mods. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MrKrabsOverdosesOnKetamine'' [[note]] Splashes of blood seen when the player and civilians are attacked. One of the missions requires you to murder 4 civilians to beat the game, but it's played entirely for laughs.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TheMummyDemastered''
* ''VideoGame/NaughtyBear'' [[note]] Despite cartoonish victims and no real blood, some kills are absolutely brutal. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Omori}}'' [[note]] While BloodlessCarnage is nigh-absolute in the Headspace segments, there are some moments of violence and resulting bleeding (severed fingers, chest stabs, and bleeding out at worst), which are utterly PlayedForDrama and [[PlayedForHorror Horror]].[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Perception}}'' [[note]] The protagonist is blind, so only outlines of dead bodies can be seen; but there is implied wrist slitting, burning alive, sexual abuse, shock torture, etc. (sometimes of children). [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/Persona5''
* ''VideoGame/PlagueInc'' [[note]]The main objective is to infect and KillAllHumans with your disease, and you can evolve [[BodyHorror horrifying symptoms]]. However, much of the sickening and dying is off-screen, with the most seen in ''Evolved'' being scenes of countries going into anarchy and then a few dead bodies appearing. The stages of infectivity for [[https://plagueinc.fandom.com/wiki/Necroa_Virus#Stages_of_infectivity Necroa Virus]] and [[https://plagueinc.fandom.com/wiki/Simian_Flu#Stages_of_Infection Simian Flu]] are a tad bloody.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/PlayerUnknownsBattlegrounds'' [[note]]Level 4 [[{{Bowdlerise}} when the blood color is changed to any color other than red]], which is enforced in the Mainland Chinese version.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'' [[note]] For the blood that spurts when the player is shot.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/ProjectIGI'' [[note]] Blood puffs that leave small splotches on surfaces. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'' [[note]] It's here due to Crocomire's melting death scene, which would be at least a 6 on a human. There's also some murdered scientists with what looks like a little bit of blood, but that's easy to miss. Otherwise, level 3. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/RainbowSix'' (Pre-Vegas games) [[note]] Blood seen on shot characters' clothing, mild pooling. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Ravenfield}}'' [[note]]Shooting enemies causes exaggerated, paint-like globs of blood to stain the environment, however the effect looks more cartoony than shocking, especially since Eagles bleed blue blood and characters bounce around when knocked over. Characters also don't vocalize when killed, though installing a Death Sounds mod could bump the level up to a 6.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/SidMeiersAlphaCentauri'' [[note]] Would rank lower if not for mechanics like nerve stapling, nerve gas, genetic warfare, and the punishment sphere video you get after destroying a faction.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/SplinterCell'' (The first 3 games.)
* ''VideoGame/StarcraftI'' and its expansion ''Brood War''
* ''[[VideoGame/{{Syndicate}} Syndicate Classic/RTS]]''
* ''[[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic]]'' [[note]]Would be level 4 without Darth Malak's severed jaw [[/note]]
* ''[[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords]]''
* ''[[VideoGame/SOCOMUSNavySeals SOCOM: US Navy Seals]]'' [[note]] Blood puffs and some stains on clothes. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TotalAnnihilationKingdoms''
* ''VideoGame/VoidBastards'' [[note]] Cyborg aliens burst into blue blood, chunks, and viscera. Would be an 8 if not for the blue blood and over-the-top cartoony presentation. [[/note]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Level 6]]
* ''VideoGame/AlanWake'' [[note]] Bloody bodies. Some fairly brutal, but not gory, ax attacks. Etc. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/ArmyOfTwo'' [[note]] Some bloody bodies, chemical burns, and suicide bombers who emit large blood splashes with no gore. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/ArmedAndDangerous'' [[note]] A light 6 for moments of bloodless comedic gore; such as a leper child being decapitated by a football, a lamb blown up into flesh chunks and a couple of severed limbs from implied cannibalism. The gameplay is a hard 3 with enemies comcially thrashing around from gunshots before keeling over in a very theatrical way. Innocent civilians and penguins are frequently in the crossfire. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedSyndicate'' [[note]] Little blood, and no injury detail; but attacks are quite brutal. The Jack the Ripper DLC bumps it up to a 7-8, due to the brutal and bloody kills that Jack can inflict on his victims; would be a level higher if there was bodily detail. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TheBannerSaga'' [[note]] The gameplay features brief splashes of blood. Although the nasty details textually explained would fit on 10 in the Literature category despite being Rated T. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'' [[note]] Several dead bodies of innocent victims, Mr. Zsasz has cuts all over his body to represent his victims, and grotesque bodily mutations from the titan virus, with the sequel featuring Joker's diseased skin. Arkham Knight, which earned an M rating, goes up to a 7 with Barbara's [[spoiler: bloody headshot suicide, even if it turns out to be a hallucination.]][[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/BattleChasersNightwar''
* ''VideoGame/BattlefieldBadCompany2'' [[note]] Large blood splashes from shootings, but no mess or gory details; though some enemies will gag and clutch their throats from neck shots. Some cutscenes show brief headshots with minor blood spurts. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/BloodstainedRitualOfTheNight'' [[note]]Stylish splashes of blood coat the ground. Level 5 when the blood color is changed to anything but red.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Bodycount}}'' [[note]] Some blood sprays that stain walls. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Boneworks}}'' [[note]] Bloody headshots, some flesh wounds, but no decapitation. Fighting against semi-humanoid android enemies is a 5. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Breakdown}}''
* ''VideoGame/BruteForce'' [[note]] Fairly large blood splotches on ground upon strong weapon impacts, with blood mist.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Camping}}'' (VideoGame/{{Roblox}}) [[note]]For several low-quality blood puddles, such as a large one from a slaughtered deer and another large one in the tent with "I'M STILL ALIVE" [[CouldntFindAPen written in blood]], and a sight of [[spoiler:an amputated leg with blood spurting out which would be 7 if it weren't for how "misty" and unrealistic it looks]]. Robloxians can die from being knifed and other dangers, but fall apart bloodlessly in the good ol' Roblox style.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Catherine}}'' [[note]] Deaths involve cartoonishly bursting into a cloud of blood splatter and bones. Character stabbed, with large pool of blood forming. Rather disturbingly emaciated corpse in game over screen. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/Contra4'' [[note]] For the final boss creature's eyes blowing up into blood splashes and the disturbingly emaciated bodies in the Harvest Yard. Before that the game is on the 3-4 range. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' [[note]] Fantastical dismemberment of Gargoyle tails, hydra heads. Impaled, charred, and emaciated bodies. Pools of blood on ground. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' [[note]] Cartoonish bisection and moderate blood spray. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Dex}}'' [[note]] Bloody bodies and environments. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Destiny}}'' and ''VideoGame/Destiny2'' [[note]] Discolored blood and gas sputter from alien enemies like the Fallen, Vex and Cabal, but no dismemberment, and the only evidence left from battle is lifeless bodies. Guardian (player character) fights in PvP are pretty much blood free. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/DestroyAllHumans'' [[note]] Heads cartoonishly explode into green goo as brains are extracted, humans cartoonishly burned to the bone, probed in the butt; often to innocent civilians. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TheDivision'' [[note]] Bloody bodies, light burning, charring. Suicide bombers burst into a mist of blood, with no gore. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/Driver2'' [[note]] For when Jericho kills 2 guys with pools of blood seen. Otherwise a 1. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion'' [[note]] The base game has blood puffs that stain environments and bloody pools. The Shivering Isles bumps it up to at least a 7 with severed heads on pikes and some graphic gnarled flesh on some enemies. [[/note]]
* ''[[VideoGame/FarCry3BloodDragon Far Cry: Blood Dragon]]'' [[note]]Head explosions and blood gushing stabbings that would be an 8 if the enemies' blood wasn't blue.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/FatalFrameIV'' [[note]]The least gruesome of the series in terms of violence, this game puts the emphasis more on Getsuyuu Syndrome, where the host's face is warped. However, a ritual called face-cutting is shown and is used on a deceased person so the Blooming symptom of the disease won't occur, and the Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is created using the purified skin from one. Ayako, one of the most violent ghosts, is said to have used harm purposely on some of the staff in Rougetsu Hall and Madoka, whom she liked, and cut the head off of Madoka's canary.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/FightNightChampion'' [[note]] Lots of blood on fighters faces, bodies, trunks and the ring; especially from bare knuckle fights. Serious wounds will continually bleed and track on the ring and fighter. Andre's brutal and bloody beatdown in the prison shower borders on 7. [[/note]]

* ''VideoGame/GiantsCitizenKabuto'' [[note]] Blood splatter and somewhat chunky, but unrealistc/undetailed gibs of very alien creatures. If the blood is green, it sits on level 5.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/GodHand'' [[note]] Bloodless decapitations and arm dismemberment. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Granny}}'' [[note]]The FirstPersonGhost gets minimal blood splatters in their vision from injuries which disappear afterwards, but are permanent on Day 4 and after. Granny carries around a blood-stained bat and there are plenty of bloodstains around the house, including a ''giant'' puddle in the CreepyBasement. Granny is implied to [[ImAHumanitarian cannibalize humans]], and the game overs are {{Cruel and Unusual Death}}s yet bloodless. [[AdjustableCensorship Nightmare mode]] is an absolute 8 for the very blood-filled house.[[/note]]
* ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' [[note]] Gameplay mainly consists of small splashes of blood, no gore except for the dismemberment of the green-blooded alien Flood. VideoGame/Halo4 very briefly dips down a bit further in a scene where people are fantastically skinned with a split second shot of a skinless face. VideoGame/Halo5 has some brutal assassinations on human Spartans with small blood sprays seen ocassionally, but nothing past 6. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Haze}}'' [[note]] Bloody bodies, some burned. Non graphic double suicide by headshot. [[/note]]

* ''[[VideoGame/MaxPayne Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne]]'' [[note]] Small spurts of blood with moderate sized stains. Bloody pools around bodies. There's a few headshots, but no blood seems to come from these; aside from when Max is grazed in one scene. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'' [[note]] For [[spoiler: Ridley leaving behind his molted carcasses and both fights with him.]] [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Pariah}}'' [[note]] Some blood splashes on walls, bloody bodies. No gore despite the ESRB rating. [[/note]]

* ''VideoGame/TaoFengFistOfTheLotus'' [[note]] Non-graphic, large blood splashes that stain the ground. Fighters often end up covered in bruises and non-graphic gashes all over. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Timesplitters}} 1 and 2'' [[note]]Zombies can be bloodlessly decapitated, have mildly bloody rotten flesh.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TooHuman''
* ''VideoGame/TotalWar'' [[note]] Later games with blood and gore DLC; which adds large blood splashes and blood pools.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TheTownWithNoName'' [[note]] Blood gushing that would probably be a bit higher if not for the terrible artwork.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TwistedMetal'' (1-4 and Head-On)
* ''VideoGame/{{Uncharted}}'' [[note]] Bloody bodies and pools. Noticeable blood splashes. Non graphic onscreen headshots. The graphically impaled Shoreline troop in the 4th game is a hard 7 though. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament2004'' [[note]] Cybernetic opponents obliterated into many indistinguishable red chunks with some blood splatter. Would be a 7 if they were more fully human. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/UnrealChampionship2TheLiandriConflict'' [[note]] Extremely rudimentary giblets and blood mist. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/WatchDogs'' 1 and ''[[VideoGame/WatchDogs2 2]]'' [[note]] Bordering 7. Decent sized blood splashes on walls after some shootings . Bodies in pools of blood. A somewhat graphic but not very bloody neck stabbing, bleeding gut wounds.[[/note]]

[[/folder]]

In the 2nd game; characters take bloody knives to throat and are bloodily splattered on the ground. We also see many bloody, partially melted and rotting; sometimes nude, bodies.

[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' [[note]] Cartoonishly spraying and splattering blood. [[/note]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Evolva}}'' [[note]] Tons of gushing and splattering blood; brief, basic gibs. At least an 8 if it was less fantastical and more detailed. [[/note]]
* ''[[{{VideoGame/Fable}} Fable Trilogy]]'' [[note]] Fairly bloody decapitations. The third game doesn't have decapitations but has finishers just brutal and bloody enough for this level. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Fahrenheit}}'' a.k.a. ''Indigo Prophecy'' [[note]] Some bloody stabbings. Carving runes into flesh. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/FarCry1'' [[note]] Very large, smearing, but unrealistic and not gory blood splatters on surfaces from shootings and monster attacks. [[/note]]

* ''VideoGame/FatalFrameIII'' [[note]] Relative amount of blood shown, the use of human pillars, and the Kuze Family Head stabbing both folklorist Akito and Kaname, the latter who sneaked inside the Kuze Shrine to meet Reika. Impalement is a prominent rite, used on both the Tattooed Priestess Reika so she would not get up from her slumber and on three of the four Handmaidens. Engravers are shown to be eyeless with rope through their sockets and their hands pierced with needles.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyType0'' [[note]] Gushing; if not very realistic blood splatter from characters getting shot, stabbed and "exploded" (not gibbed). One character and their animal companion slowly bleeds out, with lots of blood. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TheGetaway'' [[note]] Sizable blood splatters with civilians frequently caught in the crossfire. The player will get covered and in blood and show physical pain the more damage they take. Some brutal torture. [[/note]]
* ''[[VideoGame/GhostRecon Ghost Recon: Future Soldier]]'' [[note]] Very large blood splatters from shootings but no mess. Civilians bloodily killed by falling glass. Some non-interactive deaths have bloodier details. Brief scorched flesh by white phosphorus. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{The Godfather}}'' [[note]] Bloody recreations of violent scenes from the movie, including headshots, animal decapitation, repeated bloody shooting. Other custcene violence and gameplay with generous blood splatter, splashing and pooling. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Grand Theft Auto IV}}'' [[note]] Bloody gunshots and stabbings of the thin misty variety, with moderate splatter. The life-like reactions of the Euphoria physics engine increase the gameplay intensity from a 6. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Hades}}'' [[note]]Humanoid characters gush blood when slain, though the effect is highly stylized. Some enemy creatures reduced to piles of blood, bones, and viscera when killed.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'' [[note]] An intense and disturbing scene where a man cuts off his own finger (barely offscreen, but blood is seen afterwards). A woman kills a man by drilling into his chest with a power drill (a small amount of blood sprays). A woman tortures a man by squeezing his clothed genitals while he is strapped to a chair (not particularly graphic). Other scenes of genital injury; men are kicked and stabbed in their clothed genitals during fights (not particularly graphic). [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/HunterTheReckoning'' [[note]] Somewhat bloody but not too graphic dismemberment and gibbing of ghoulish enemies. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TheIncredibleAdventuresOfVanHelsing'' [[note]] Initially had moderate blood splatter and simple gibs, but later episodes bump it up to at least an 8 with very chunky gibs and mutilated bodies. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/JadeEmpire'' [[note]] Rudimentary gibs and cartoonishly bloody decapitations. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Jetpack}}'' [[note]] Would be higher if the player character's gibs weren't 8-bit [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/JustCause2'' [[note]] Cartoonish blood gushing with lots of splatter from shooting, melee, and dragging by vehicle. The unrealistic reactions, low brutality, and lack of injury detail reduce the impact. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/KaneAndLynch'' [[note]] Blood spurts and splattering; including many civilians. Some from headshots and slit throats, etc. The sequel is an 8 due to torture scenes, with two of the characters being covered in horribly painful boxcutter cuts. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/KickTheBuddy'' [[note]]Only if you [[AdjustableCensorship turning on blood for $4.99]], which has Buddy spurting solid red puddles. Level 4 with blood turned off otherwise, with you beating up Buddy with all sorts of realistic and horrifying weapons, except Buddy [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman is a ragdoll]], can be revived again and again, and the whole thing is PlayedForLaughs.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Killzone}}'' (2 and Shadow Fall) [[note]] Generous blood splashing/splattering. Non graphic head obliteration with splattering blood. Throat slashing in the latter.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Lugaru}}'' (also its sequel, ''VideoGame/{{Overgrowth}}''). [[note]] Dynamic flesh slicing with generous, misty blood splash, splatter and dripping. No gore. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MafiaTheCityOfLostHeaven'' [[note]] Fairly large blood spray and splatter; including headshots and other cutscene violence. ''[[VideoGameRemake The Definitive Edition]]'' is a hard eight, due to the improved wound detail, big blood pools forming under bodies, and particularly [[spoiler:Don Morello's]] horrifically burned body.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MarkOfTheNinja'' [[note]] Very bloody, but not graphic; neck slashing, stabbing and dismemberment in cartoon art style with little detail. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MassEffect'' [[note]] Two impalings of human characters in cutscenes: One graphic and one very graphic (large gory wound briefly visible, borderline 8 (The Legendary Edition's updated graphics bring this scene up to an 8)), both accompanied by large blood splatters. Otherwise level 6. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MaxPayne'' [[note]] Lots of slow motion blood mist and splatter. Bloody blanket covering a dead baby, making this a hard 7. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MegaManX4'' [[note]] Cutscenes show humanoid machines very bloodily slashed, with splatter. Funnily enough the game was initially rated E (with recent HD re-releases being rated T). [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' [[note]] Arm bloodily chopped off, rooms splattered with lots of blood from sliced-up victims, lots of blood from being crushed by tank, some fairly brutal torture. The [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidTheTwinSnakes remake]] is a hard 8 with Gray Fox's victims' deaths shown in explicit detail and other violent scenes being more graphic with improved visuals. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty'' [[note]] Large blood splatters. Attacks with swords result in fountain-like blood sprays. The violence isn't particularly graphic, since wounds are not seen. Torture scene styled after the previous game. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MiddleEarthShadowOfMordor'' [[note]] Bloody, brutal stabbing and decapitation of Orcs. Throat slitting with pouring blood. Would be higher if enemies were humans instead of orcs.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/MitsurugiKamuiHikae'' [[note]] Mildly bloody decapitation. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/NeverDead'' [[note]] Very messy slicing and gibbing of monsters. It would be rated 9 if the blood wasn't blue. The main character has red blood and very cartoonishly gets dismembered into many pieces. Some humans stabbed with moderate blood splatter in cutscenes.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Nier}}'' [[note]] Tons of exagerrated/unrealistic blood splatter. No gore whatsoever though. [[/note]]
* ''[[VideoGame/NinjaGaiden Ninja Gaiden (2004)]]'' (All versions) [[note]] [Sometimes cartoonishly] Bloody decapitation, throat cutting, slicing of humans; dismemberment of fantastical beasts. [[/note]]
* ''[[VideoGame/NinjaGaiden Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2]]'' [[note]] Fantastical, simple dismemberment of humans and beasts with some blood splatter. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/OddworldAbesOddysee'' [[note]] Humanoid creatures very graphically burst apart into gore chunks upon death. The dated graphics lessen the impact. [[/note]]
* ''[[VideoGame/{{Oddworld}} Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus]]'' [[note]] Humanoid creatures very graphically burst apart into gore chunks upon death. The dated graphics lessen the impact. [[/note]]
* ''[[VideoGame/{{Oddworld}} Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee]]'' [[note]] Humanoid creatures very graphically burst apart into gore chunks upon death. Closer to an 8 than the predecessors due to better graphics and 3D gameplay, with newer HD versions being borderline 8s [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/OddworldStrangersWrath'' [[note]] Creatures thrown into propellers cartoonishly grinded up into blood and chunks. Similarly a borderline 8 due to higher fidelity graphics. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Odium}}'' (A.K.A ''Gorky 17'') [[note]] Brief blood gush and splatter. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/PartyHard'' [[note]] Victims turned into bloody paste smeared on ground, bloodily decapitated, stabbed, grinded up by fan blades, etc. Would be higher if it had more detailed graphics. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/PiratesVikingsAndKnights [[note]] Due to the addition of decapitation and mild gibbing in recent updates. Was a hard 5 prior to this. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/PoundThePuss'' [[note]] For when [[spoiler: The pig is blown up]], leaving behind a bloody severed head and ribs; and [[spoiler: a newborn chick is burned alive]]. The comedic tone and pixel art style softens it. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersiaWarriorWithin'' [[note]] Stylized dismemberment, evisceration, and decapitation of humanoid demons. Would be an 8 if it was more realistic and wasn't partly obscured by sand. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersiaTheTwoThrones'' [[note]] Not nearly as violent as it's predecessor but still has some nasty body horror and blood from slashed throats. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Quake|I}}'' [[note]] Gameplay is a hard 7, consisting of blood splashes, basic gibs, and bloody decapitated heads. However, mutilated and crucified bodies on the walls in some levels border on 9. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/QuantumBreak'' [[note]] Large blood gushes and splatters but without much body damage detail. The show contains bloody headshots, a throat slitting, and a brief, semi-obscured eye stabbing. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/RadRodgers'' [[note]] Cartoonishly copious blood splashing and splattering from fantastical critters. No graphic or discernable gore. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/RainbowSix'' (Vegas onward) [[note]] Lots of blood spraying and splattering from shooting. Including from many bloody/executed civilians. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRevolver'' [[note]] Arm bloodily shot off. Moderate blood gushing; much from headshots, sometimes with chunks of brain seen. No graphic injury detail. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/RedFaction'' (II) [[note]] Basic gibs.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/RideToHellRetribution'' [[note]] A man is tortured by being shot in both kneecaps and in the crotch (graphic with large blood splatters). One of the execution moves has the player character repeatedly and graphically stabbing an enemy with a lot of blood splattering. Two graphic throat-slittings with a lot of blood spraying, one done to a teenage boy, the other with twitching afterwards. A character has a gory burnt side of his face (looks very similar to Harvey Dent in ''Film/TheDarkKnight''). The game would get an 8, if it wasn't so hard to take seriously. [[/note]]
* ''Videogame/{{Rimworld}}'' [[note]] Characters with simplistic artstyle left in piles of bloody mush. Creatures cam receive quite detailed injuries on their various body parts, but their appearance won't change except when humanoids lost their head.[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Rust}}'' [[note]] Severed human limbs can be harvested, seen in inventory, and [[ImAHumanitarian eaten]]; but without visual detail for either process. There are also large blood spurts, often on naked characters but without visible wounds. Characters often have to be finished off as they writhe and scream. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'' [[note]] Cartoonishly spraying/splattering blood and dismemberment. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/ScottPilgrim'' [[note]] Cartoonish zombies are covered in blood and have guts hanging out. The gameplay is on level 3 with over-the-top, pixelized fantasy violence with minimal blood. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/SecondSight'' [[note]] Large blood sprays that splatter surfaces and leave large pools on the ground that can be tracked on footsteps. [[/note]]
* ''[[VideoGame/Section8 Section 8: Prejudice]]'' [[note]] The gameplay isn't much more violent than the first (aside from bloodless cinematic knife/melee kills), but there are several scenes with lots of blood around corpses, including a throat cutting. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/SlenderTheArrival'' [[note]]Slender's nightmarish MindRape and turning of his proxies (including a ''[[WouldHurtAChild child]]'') into zombie-like beings, charred remains of a human body[[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/SplinterCell'' (Conviction and Blacklist) [[note]] Bloody headshots, stabbings and neck slashings. Severed hand in the latter. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{STALKER}}'' [[note]] Bloody, dismembered, and badly burned bodies litter environment; fairly gross body horror on creatures. Enemies often have to be finished off with shot to head (with some blood). Vortex anomalies cause characters to burst into many small, bloody chunks with surprisingly little splatter. [[/note]]
* ''[[VideoGame/StarWarsTheForceUnleashed Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II]]'' [[note]] For being able to bloodlessly dismember stormtroopers into multiple limbs and pieces. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/StarWarsRepublicCommando'' [[note]] Surprisingly graphic (for ''Franchise/StarWars'' ) dismemberment, gibbing, decapitation, blood splatter. Would be higher if not for AlienBlood. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/SuperMeatBoy'' [[note]] Characters bloodily explode when struck by an obstacle (buzzsaws, spikes, etc.), although there is no gore. Meat Boy himself is a skinless boy who bleeds everywhere he goes in the level. The very cartoonish art style and the fact that the game is a 2D side-scroller, keeps it from being rated higher. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' [[note]] Characters unrealistically gib upon explosion, some weapons give fairly bloodless decapitations. Moderate amounts of blood in general, though it helps the blood looks unrealistic. The violence would go up to an 8 if it took itself remotely seriously, and some of the Meet the Team videos and Comics go up there due to being more detailed. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Thief}}'' [[note]] For [[spoiler: Garrett's]] eye being ripped out. Otherwise a 6 for small blood splatters on ground when using swords and arrows, and goreless gibbing of zombies. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Titanfall}}'' [[note]] Basic gibs. No blood splatter. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/TheYouTestament'' and most other MattDickie games [[note]] Limbs and heads can be ripped off. Soft 7 for crude graphics, and otherwise a hard 4 for fighting with spurts of blood. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/Tower57'' [[note]] Cartoonish monsters blow up into many small red chunks with blood splatter. Player can be cartoonishly dismembered ([[OnlyAFleshWound "Oh no, I have no legs!"]]). Would be at least a level higher if it was less cartoony. [[/note]]
* ''[[VideoGame/{{Turok}} Turok: Dinosaur Hunter]]'' [[note]] Large unrealistic blood splatters. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/UnrealIITheAwakening'' [[note]] Some blood splatter and basic gibs. [[/note]]
* ''[[VideoGame/DawnOfWar Warhammer 40,000: Dawn Of War]]''
* ''[[VideoGame/DawnOfWarIII Warhammer 40,000: Dawn Of War III]]'' [[note]] (Both) Relatively simple gibbing and large blood splatter seen from very far away. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/WeBecomeWhatWeBehold'' [[note]] People blown up into blood and chunks, including an unarmed civillain, possibly making it a hard 7. Would be higher if not for the simplistic art style. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/WeHappyFew'' [[note]] Moderate blood gushing from stabbings, smashed rat, etc. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{What Remains of Edith Finch}}'' [[note]]A difficult game to classify, as most scenes of violence take place from a first person perspective and are heavily symbolic. Placed here due to the gore present in Barbara's and Lewis's stories. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/WillRock'' [[note]] Generous blood splatter, and basic gibs of creatures. [[/note]]
* ''VideoGame/{{XIII}}'' [[note]] Headshots cause blood splatters on walls and comic panels emphasize the blood spray. It's a pretty light 7 though. [[/note]]
