Returned to Arkham Asylum and Arkham City after so many years. Combat was as fun as I remember, although the boss fights get tedious (particularly in AA, AC improved a bit). The open world of AC means more gameplay, but the storyline itself wanders a bit. Gliding over the city is a blast, at least for Batman. Catwoman is fun to fight with (if limited), but god, her movement mechanism is annoying.

Harley Quinn's DLC is fun, and Robin fights like the acrobat he is. Too bad he sees limited play even in his own DLC. And it's a crime that you can't use him in the open world like Catwoman.

That said-- my computer is better these days than when I played the original games. But I still get cutscene crashes and lock ups when there's too many particle effects: not a problem I remember having before. I CNTRL-ALT-DELETE and restart my way through because I love these games so much, but my performance issues with these rereleased games were enough to keep me from buying Arkham Knight (which reportedly is even worse in that regard).

Shaky thumbs up. If you've got a state of the art rig (mine really isn't these days, but like I said, better than my old), I doubt you'll have a problem. If you don't and you've got a console, I'd recommend playing on that instead of the PC port.
