This game carries a Mature (M) rating due to its high levels of violence, strong language, and references to substances, reflecting its gritty London underworld setting. While it avoids manipulative monetization and compulsion-loop mechanics, parents should be aware of the intense content. The game is a single-player experience, so social risks like stranger chat or competitive toxicity are not present.
