As long as they are reasonably mature and thoughtful, an early teen can handle it.
I’ve had four children, and as a fellow parent let me tell you that these reviews are often exaggerated from what the game actually is. Although the game does have both partial nudity and some gory violence, it’s nothing most teens haven’t seen before, and parents tend to grossly underestimate how much their child can handle. Of course, it’s up to you on whether you think your child can handle it, but I would advise you give them a chance, and it will make them feel as if you trust them. Ultimately though, it depends on the child. My firstborn was incredibly sensitive to blood and gore, so they didn’t play this until they were 15. Another one of my children is incredibly mature however, and is able to easily play extraordinarily violent and frightening games, because he is easily able to separate them from reality. So I let him play it at 14.
To conclude, it really depends on your child. But I would suggest that you give them chance to enjoy this amazing game, and trust them to know their own limits. Your relationship with them will be all the better because of it, for you will both feel respected and trusted.
