WhereSquid Games aesthetics followed the theme of demented childrens summer camp,Physical: 100is more of a modernizedGladiator.
Early on, competitors mostly group themselves into cliques the national athletes, the YouTubers, theUDTsoldiers.
And when lines do get crossed,Physical: 100doesnt use it as an excuse for drama.

Employing a tactic that has led to death when used irresponsibly isnt Parks only controversial move during the match.

Nor is there a lingering focus on rivalries between players that prioritizes interpersonal betrayal over the unforgiving gameplay.
