The game's focus on competitive destruction, combined with elements that encourage continuous play and social comparison, could contribute to competitive toxicity and may not have clear stopping points. While there are no explicit microtransactions, the drive for customization and progression could lead to excessive engagement. The violence, though cartoonish, is a core mechanic.
