The game's primary risks stem from its content, featuring a moderate level of violence and a potential for competitive toxicity in multiplayer. The narrative involves civil war, which might expose players to mature themes. While there are no direct monetization pressures, the lack of natural stopping points could lead to extended play sessions.
