Are Today's Cartoon Games To Blame For Violence?

Cartoon games have been given a rough ride as of late. The media seems to paint the picture of games as the villain. They have been blamed for exposing children to violence. But this is a very one-sided image. To completely blame cartoon games for showcasing violence would be vastly unfair. In fact, some people would go as far as to say that games are not responsible for this at all. And, if you delve a little bit deeper then you may find that you agree with this.

🤖 Super Mutant Alien Assault - REVIEW - "Aim, shoot, kill, repeat" 🤖 #GameDev #IndieGame

Game Title: Super Mutant Alien Assault - Developer: Cybernate - Platform Reviewed: Switch

Billed by the developers as ‘The Citizen Kane of Super Crate Box clones’

(A game I have never played and so am unable to comment on)

Super Mutant Alien Assault puts you in the shoes of a lowly security droid (or two, in the case of the local co-op mode) that has to clear out waves of  enemies in a series of 2D rooms whilst completing basic tasks such as carrying canisters from one machine to another or cooling generators that slowly overheat, all the while picking up a selection of random guns and grenades to help you destroy the ever-appearing alien menace.
