Max's Birthday is a short (~1 hr) DLC revisiting Max and his family. It's Max's 11th birthday and he's excited to have his party and get presents. Who doesn't like birthdays? Approximately half the DLC is in the form of a dream Max has about conquering a castle with his siblings and is in the same RPG-model combat as the base game. The other half is more narrative and simply time spent with Max, his family and friends. There isn't much in the way of "educational opportunities" here although Max's anxiety and habits will be familiar after playing the base game.

Assuming you enjoyed "Max, an Autistic Journey" (and why would you be considering DLC otherwise?) you'll likely find Max's Birthday to be a pleasant diversion for a buck. It's short and sweet and there's worse ways to spend a brief hour.
