The primary risk in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is the frequent cartoon violence inherent to the Dragon Ball Z universe. While not graphic, battles are a core component of the gameplay and narrative. There is minimal risk of dopamine manipulation or monetization pressure as the game does not feature loot boxes, battle passes, or microtransactions.
