I don't think the "mature side" means only sex, violence or other "realities". For me, it means a complex, engaging, unforgettable story and much more.
Realities of war? Besides combat, explosions, piles of dead, mutilated corpses and pools of blood? What do you mean?

It could've, I agree. The last installment was the most benign in that regard, but the most cynical at the same time.

If the writer is able to implement it tactfully into a game and shows the horrors those issues stand for, then why not?
And if he failed to implement it tactfully? I am not sure anybody should attempt to "tactfully" or otherwise implement a child rape in a game. Or any rape. I protest.
