Feature scans:
- MTX: score 10; verdict: Standard DLC with Technical Issues - Not Predatory Monetization; summary: The user reviews primarily describe frustration with DLC installation/ownership issues and perceived poor value of the DLC when bought separately versus as part of a Season Pass. There is no evidence of real-money microtransactions, pay-to-win mechanics, gacha, loot boxes, currency obfuscation, or any other predatory monetization patterns defined in the criteria. The complaints are about traditional premium DLC pricing and technical bugs, which fall under the 'Standard DLC / Base Price' category and do not push the score above 20.

  - Reasoning: The French review explicitly states that finishing the main level takes 10 minutes (0.167 hours) and collecting all hidden minikits takes an additional 10 minutes, totaling 20 minutes (0.333 hours) for full completion of the DLC. This maps to story/campaign completion (10 minutes) and game completion (20 minutes). Session length is the same as story completion since the DLC is a single level. No evidence for endgame content. The second quote confirms the DLC is short, supporting the time estimates.
