The primary risks associated with Unreal 2: The Awakening revolve around its content. As an M-rated shooter, it features a high level of violence and some elements of fear and horror. While there are no significant monetization or social manipulation risks, the competitive aspect of the multiplayer could lead to some mild toxicity.
