KidWatch › Channel Safety › gamefixtv
It's basically a game recommendation channel for adults, and a few of those games are absolutely not for kids.
Best for ages 16+
This is a top-ten style gaming channel that churns out ranked lists of video games across different platforms and genres. The format is pretty consistent: quick descriptions, some gameplay footage, background music, and a narrator walking you through why each game made the cut. It's not flashy or personality-driven. There's no host you get to know, just the content itself.

KidWatch Assessment
This is a top-ten style gaming channel that churns out ranked lists of video games across different platforms and genres. The format is pretty consistent: quick descriptions, some gameplay footage, background music, and a narrator walking you through why each game made the cut. It's not flashy or personality-driven. There's no host you get to know, just the content itself.
The problem for parents is the games being recommended. A lot of them are rated M. GTA, Cyberpunk, Red Dead Redemption, Saints Row, Sleeping Dogs. These titles come up repeatedly across videos, and the channel describes their violence, criminal themes, and mature narratives pretty enthusiastically without any age context whatsoever.
The channel itself isn't trying to be edgy. There's no shock humor or deliberate provocation. But it clearly assumes an adult audience, and at least once there's an audible profanity slipping through mid-video. Younger kids browsing for game ideas could easily land here and walk away wanting games their parents would absolutely say no to.
Flagged Moments from Top Videos
An audible profanity ('kill this a**hole') is heard in the audio, apparently from game footage or a clip, with no editing or warning. It's brief but unexpected in what's otherwise a calm narrated list.
The channel enthusiastically recommends GTA 5 to a general audience, describing its criminal underworld storyline and open-world freedom without any mention of its M rating or age appropriateness.
Multiple M-rated games involving gang violence, organized crime, drug culture, and explicit themes are presented as must-plays with no parental advisories or age guidance of any kind.
Cyberpunk 2077 is described in glowing terms including its dystopian adult themes and 'Phantom Liberty' expansion, with no acknowledgment that the game contains explicit sexual content and graphic violence.
LA Noire and Assassin's Creed titles are recommended without any mention of their mature ratings, which include depictions of crime scenes, violence, and morally complex content not suited to young kids.
Need for Speed Unbound is highlighted partly for its hip-hop soundtrack and street racing culture aesthetic, presented without noting that the game carries a Teen rating and includes some suggestive content.
What Parents Should Know
Check the ESRB rating of any game your kid sees on this channel before letting them look it up further, because the channel does not filter by age group.
Watch an episode with your teen if they're into gaming content, so you can talk about which games on these lists are actually appropriate for their age.
Be aware that the channel regularly features GTA, Cyberpunk, and other M-rated titles as top recommendations without any caveats, so younger kids browsing freely could get ideas.
The racing game content is generally the safest category here if you're looking for something lower-stakes to watch together with a middle schooler.
Treat this channel more like a magazine review section than a kids' channel. It's useful for adults researching games, but it assumes the viewer is already old enough for mature content.
If your child uses this channel to make a wishlist, cross-reference every title they mention because several games that sound action-adventure-friendly are actually quite violent or contain adult themes.
Recommended for ages 16+.
