The game features intense violence and a bleak dystopian setting, which may not be suitable for younger players. While there are no direct monetization risks, the competitive online play and focus on 'winning for your city' could potentially foster social comparison and competitive toxicity. The overarching narrative of forced labor and fighting for freedom within a penal system may also be emotionally challenging for some.
