The primary risks in Space Hulk: Tactics stem from its online competitive multiplayer, which can expose players to competitive toxicity and social comparison. While 'Stranger chat' is absent, the competitive nature itself can impact emotional regulation and self-worth. The game also features mature content, including bloody battles, aligning with its M rating.
