The primary risks associated with Resident Evil 4 VR are related to its mature content, including intense violence, gore, and pervasive fear/horror elements, consistent with its survival horror genre and M rating. However, the game exhibits extremely low risks in terms of compulsion-loop design, monetization pressure, and social risks, as it is a single-player experience with no microtransactions, loot boxes, or social online features designed to manipulate engagement or spending.
