Feature scans:
- MTX: score 10; verdict: Fair (DLC Delivery Issues); summary: User feedback focuses on broken promises regarding DLC platform availability (Mac vs PC) and season pass value. No evidence of in-game microtransactions, pay-to-win, gacha, loot boxes, or predatory monetization. The complaints are about traditional DLC delivery, which falls outside the scope of predatory monetization scoring.

  - Session length: N/A
  - Endgame: N/A
  - Reasoning: Multiple reviews consistently report the DLC's single level takes 10–20 minutes to complete (story/campaign completion). Session length is the same as story completion since the DLC is a single level. Game completion (100% including all minikits) is estimated at 20–40 minutes based on one review stating double the level time for minikits, but the typical total time to finish the DLC is around 20 minutes (first playthrough). No evidence of endgame content beyond replaying for achievements, so endgame is null. All times converted to hours: 10 min = 0.1667, 20 min = 0.3333, 40 min = 0.6667. However, to avoid overprecision, I round to two decimals: storyCompletion 0.17 (10 min) or 0.33 (20 min); sessionLength same; gameCompletion 0.33 (just level) or 0.67 (full). Given the range, I'll use the most common figure: storyCompletion 0.33, sessionLength 0.33, gameCompletion 0.33 (since many just beat the level). But the instruction says 'typical total time to finish the game' – for DLC, finishing the level is finishing the DLC. So gameCompletion = storyCompletion. I'll set all three to 0.33 (20 min) as the median. Confidence high due to multiple explicit time mentions.
