Revisiting this and playing Aftermath for the first time, ahead of MK1.
Aftermath is a total blast. It is ultimately inconsequential and you sort of end up right back where the main game ends, but that's fine -- they have a lot of fun character moments along the way.
Overall the game is still great fun, although I'd forgotten how rotten with microtransactions WB games are. Is the splash screen telling you to preorder MK1 REALLY necessary? And A, the default prompt for most actions, being the button that takes you to the preorder screen rather than acknowledging and dismissing the message? Come on now.
Steam Deck notes: online multiplayer is completely unusable, so don't bother if that's what you're interested in. Other than that, and some very, very mild chugging in story mode as it segues from cutscene to gameplay -- this is perfectly playable.
