The rating is part of Valve's ongoing effort to categorize games for its portable PC console, helping users know what to expect before downloading. For fans of challenging souls-like combat, this is a welcoming update—the sequel continues the series' brutal melee battles and dark, atmospheric world, and now it can be enjoyed on the go.
