While generally low-risk, the game does incorporate some light dopamine manipulation through variable rewards from sponsors, which could encourage extended play. Competitive online modes may also expose players to social comparison and potential toxicity. However, the absence of microtransactions, loot boxes, and stranger chat significantly mitigates monetization and social risks.
