Parent Pro-Tip

Parents should encourage children to take breaks after each mission to avoid extended play sessions. Discuss the competitive aspects and the nature of in-game conflict to foster critical thinking about the game's themes. Since there are no microtransactions or social features, monetary and stranger risks are not concerns.
