As an M-rated shooter, Resistance: Retribution contains significant violence and some strong language, and themes of fear/horror related to the alien invasion. However, it exhibits very low risks related to compulsion-loop design, monetization, and social pressures, as it is a one-time purchase game without microtransactions or online social features.
