Finished Batman: Arkham Asylum last night. Just shy of 15 years after launch, the game holds up pretty great, with satisfying combat and gameplay, a fantastic voice cast, and a cool island. There's a bit of a blend of Metroidvania and Legend of Zelda-style level design, with the locations acting as different dungeons, but with extra paths and secrets that require return trips with future upgrades to access.
So I went to an electronics store in Japan over the weekend. Nowadays they have a 'portable pc gaming' corner with the Windows machines: Lenovo legion Go, ROG Ally, and the MSI crap with Intel. The most surprising thing was that the store did not even bother to install any (decent) games on them. On the demo units you could enjoy the glory of Win11 on a small screen and thats it. Thats an FAIL of epic proportions. Of course the Steam Deck was nowhere to be seen. #pcgaming#handheld#japan
