Three questions

- Only a little. Warfare has a few tense moments, nothing that follows you to bed.
- How gory is Warfare?
- Graphic gore and brutal violence. If graphic gore is a dealbreaker, skip it.

- Rated R, and it earns it: brutal violence, frequent strong language and graphic gore. Not one for kids.
