  - Reasoning: The only potential playtime mention is a vague Spanish review that could refer to the base game rather than the DLC itself. Since the Shadow Costume DLC is a cosmetic item with no gameplay content, it is unlikely to add measurable playtime. All other reviews discuss installation issues or unrelated DLCs. Therefore, no reliable playtime metrics can be extracted for this target game.
