The game's dark humor and satirical portrayal of unethical practices, including profiting from dead bodies and questionable alliances, may desensitize some players. While the violence is cartoonish, it can be frequent and directed at defenseless characters. The game's themes of capitalism at all costs and moral compromise should be discussed with younger players.
