Negatives

•The entire premise is building and running an illegal drug trafficking operation, and players manufacture and sell marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine and psilocybin mushrooms.
•Players can directly smoke marijuana and meth and snort cocaine in first person, and non-player characters use drugs frequently.
•Violence with guns, knives and improvised weapons, stylised blood effects, coarse language and crude comedic nudity are present.
•Simulated gambling with in-game currency is part of the content.
•Online co-op includes in-game voice chat that is not consistently moderated, and players often move conversations to outside apps like Discord.

Positives

•Co-op play for up to four people encourages planning and dividing up jobs like growing, selling and managing property.
•Running the business involves budgeting, pricing and logistics, which gives players practice in resource planning and arithmetic.
•Bought once for a flat price with no microtransactions or in-game store, so there is no spending pressure after purchase.
•An active modding community lets technically minded players build and share their own custom content.
