Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.00 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The primary risks in Psi-Ops stem from its mature content, including frequent and intense violence, with graphic depictions of enemies being thrown, shot, and having their heads explode. While not featuring modern manipulative design mechanics, the game's violent themes and language warrant an 'M' rating and may not be suitable for younger audiences.
