While a generally low-risk game, the competitive aspect and global leaderboards may lead to some social comparison and identity self-worth concerns for some players. There's also a minor risk related to privacy due to social media integration and global leaderboards, though no direct stranger chat is present. Dopamine manipulation is minimal, mainly through variable rewards and an infinite play loop common in sports games.
