The game features high levels of violence, depicting the destruction of robotic entities with explicit descriptions of dismantling and using their parts as weapons. While not targeting humans, the constant violent theme and limited narrative depth could be a concern. There is also some mild language and a general atmosphere of fear/horror consistent with the Terminator franchise.
