Feature scans:
- MTX: score 5; verdict: Fair / No Predatory Monetization; summary: The reviews concern the Cyberpunk DLC for House Flipper. Feedback consistently describes the DLC as free and praises it as free content, while some users criticize limited content and request more jobs, properties, or a larger expansion. There is no evidence of real-money in-game purchases, paid gacha, loot boxes, pay-to-win systems, convenience items, battle passes, or a cash shop. Content complaints relate to DLC scope and value, not predatory monetization.

  - Game completion: 2.0h
  - Story completion: N/A
  - Session length: N/A

  - Reasoning: Two reviews explicitly state that the Cyberpunk DLC has about 2 hours of playtime, and another says the DLC gives an extra hour or two, so gameCompletion is estimated at 2 hours. No review reports a story completion time, so storyCompletion is null. The 'less than 15 minutes on each house' quote describes time per individual house, not a full play session, so sessionLength is null. No endgame-specific playtime is reported, so endgame is null.

- Furniture usable in base homes (weight 0.25): A key feature is that the new cyberpunk-themed items can be used in base game properties, not just the new ones. This allows players to decorate existing homes with the new content.

Common complaints:
- Limited Content and Short Gameplay (weight 0.96): The DLC offers very little content, often just one small apartment that can be cleaned and sold in about 20 minutes. There are few items and houses, and players quickly run out of things to do.
- DLC Installation and Launch Failures (weight 0.88): Many players report that the DLC cannot be opened or downloaded, with errors like being sent to the Steam store page or an endless loop. Some cannot access the content even after installing it.
- Bugs and Technical Issues (weight 0.72): Players encounter various bugs such as being pushed outside buildings, save files disappearing, and graphical glitches like seams and black shadows. These issues persist and affect gameplay.
- Poor Visual Integration and Dark Rooms (weight 0.7): The cyberpunk-themed items and furniture often do not fit with the base game's aesthetics, limiting decoration options. Rooms are frequently reported as too dark, even with additional lighting.
- Lack of New Mechanics and Quests (weight 0.5): Players note that the DLC does not introduce new gameplay mechanics, story campaigns, or substantial jobs. Quests are missing or are reused from previous content.
- Ugly and Impractical Furniture (weight 0.37): The furniture is described as ugly, bulky, and overly specific in style, making it hard to use in normal houses. Some compare it to 1960s sci-fi rather than modern cyberpunk.
- Issues with Lighting and Windows (weight 0.35): Players report that lighting is inadequate, windows cannot have curtains, and some windows are hard to clean or inaccessible, affecting gameplay.
- Houses Are Fully Furnished (weight 0.24): Most houses in the DLC come fully furnished, leaving little room for creative renovation. This makes the gameplay feel pointless for those who enjoy decorating.
- Limited Replayability and Repetition (weight 0.23): The DLC lacks replayability as players quickly finish all available content, and the gameplay becomes repetitive with nothing new to do after initial completion.
- Small Apartments and Limited Space (weight 0.21): The added apartment is small, often just one room, and lacks outdoor space like a garden, limiting renovation possibilities.
- Missing Advertised Content (weight 0.19): Some advertised items, such as the Transhumanist Hand Skin or the kitten with a dragon, are not available in the game. Players feel misled by the promotional material.
- Insufficient New Buyers and Orders (weight 0.18): There are no specific buyers for the cyberpunk houses, and sales are not active. This reduces the incentive to renovate and sell properties.
- Developer Negligence and Poor Support (weight 0.17): Players feel the development team does not care about the base game or DLC, treats players poorly, and does not fix known bugs despite announcements.
- Dislike of Cyberpunk Aesthetic (weight 0.16): Some players do not enjoy the cyberpunk style and feel it does not fit the home renovation theme of the game.
- Portfolio and Save Management Problems (weight 0.12): The portfolio cannot be deleted or managed, and its save location is unknown, causing concerns about PC load and lost saves.
- Sparse New Items (weight 0.12): Very few new items are added, and they do not integrate well with normal interiors, limiting decoration choices.
- Progression-Gated Content (weight 0.08): Some high-tech items require progression, so new players cannot access them immediately, slowing down the cyberpunk transformation.
- DLC Not Free for Some (weight 0.07): Some players report that the DLC is not free for them, contrary to expectations, causing frustration.
- No Seasonal Gardening Changes (weight 0.06): The gardening aspect lacks seasonal variation, reducing the realism and enjoyment for players who like that feature.

Emotions:
- Disappointment (weight 0.18): Players are disappointed because the DLC offers very little content, typically just one apartment with few jobs and items, which runs out quickly. The interiors are bland, furniture looks dated, and persistent issues like floor seams reduce the overall value.
- Frustration (weight 0.13): Frustration stems mainly from technical problems: the DLC fails to download or open, often causing errors or endless loops with Steam. Additionally, bugs such as missing DLC links, dark rooms despite lighting, and unfixed issues after updates contribute to the frustration.

- Desire (weight 0.03): Desire is driven by the wish for the DLC to be a paid, full expansion with more levels and content, such as exploring Neo-Tokyo. Players want more neon lights and a complete series of cyberpunk-themed missions.
- Sadness (weight 0.03): Sadness is caused by the absence of cyberpunk buyers among clients, incomplete furniture sets, and missing elements like a kitten with a dragon. The teasing vending machine that doesn't deliver also adds to the sadness.
- Enthusiasm (weight 0.02): Enthusiasm is fueled by the futuristic additions and the hope for more content in the future. The cyberpunk expansion introduces a new world and apartment to renovate, exciting players.
- Dissatisfaction (weight 0.02): Dissatisfaction stems from the perception that the development team shows little care for the base game and DLC, treating players poorly. Missing environmental details like moving cars and flying drones outside windows also contribute.
- Dislike (weight 0.02): Dislike is expressed because the cyberpunk style does not appeal to some players, and rooms feel dark even with additional lighting. This aesthetic and lighting issue reduce the overall appeal.

- Mixed feelings (weight 0.01): Mixed feelings result from the DLC adding cool usable items and free content, but the one added house is small and quick to clean-and-sell. This creates a balance of positive and negative reactions.
- Amusement (weight 0.01): Amusement is caused by order descriptions in other packs, which provide humorous or entertaining text that lightens the gameplay experience.
- Fun (weight 0.01): Fun is derived from making the new cyberpunk apartment your own and decorating with lots of goodies. The creative freedom and new items make the gameplay enjoyable.}
