Parent Pro-Tip
Use the game's natural mission structure to establish healthy play sessions. Try saying: 'You can complete two more missions, then we'll save and take a break.' This respects the game's design while maintaining boundaries. Consider playing cooperatively with your child - the 4-player co-op is genuinely fun for families and creates opportunities to discuss teamwork and strategy. Talk about the different heroes' abilities and let your child explain their team-building choices, which reinforces strategic thinking skills.
What your child develops
