The game's competitive nature, especially in multiplayer or tournament modes, could foster some competitive toxicity and social comparison, though likely mild given the genre. The progression system and unlocking collectables could encourage some escalating commitment and variable reward seeking. There are no direct monetization risks as microtransactions are absent.
