If there has been some kind of re-release or remaster, I don't know it.
The short answer is yes. I think they're fantastic. Asylum especially.
The long answer is Asylum is good, Origins and City are different but also fun, but you have to be careful what version you get. I played them all on PC and had no issues personally, but I heard City on WiiU was unplayable. I've not played Knight, but again, it changes things. People seem hit or miss on if the Batmobile is good or bad, but you spend a lot of the game in it supposedly. I know the PC version of Knight is to be avoided due to performance problems and DRM.

Hell yes. Asylum is kinda like a 3D Metroid game due to its scale, but the more open City and Knight are also fantastic. City went overboard with the collectibles but you can mostly ignore them. Knight has been fine on PC for awhile now. It was just a shitshow at launch due to bad optimization. Runs great even on Steam Deck.
The remasters of Asylum and City for PS4 are good but the new look might turn some people off. Neither remaster runs at 60 (unless you play City unpatched). Don't even bother with the switch collection. Asylum and City barely run on switch and Knight is disaster that looks like shit and crashes frequently. Maybe it'll be passable on the switch 2.
And if you want even more, Origins is shockingly decent for a non-Rocksteady game. I'd argue it has the best boss fights in the whole series overall.
Interesting. Guess only time will tell if this is a good thing. I'm still hoping for The Evil Within 3.

That's wrong though, I have fully played these games on Switch this year. Asylum has the occasional micro-freeze during exploration whereas City is pretty much flawless. They also run on the original Unreal Engine unlike the PS4 remasters so they don't have the weird lighting effects and face textures.
Arkham Knight is the one terrible port, I will not argue that, and the main problem being it's not possible to buy the first two titles separately. Hence why I got them from the Japanese eshop for cheaper.
Edit: The Arkham games were also one of the few games in which having a Nvidia graphic card for the PhysX features did improve further the atmosphere (especially the interactive fog and scraps flying around during battles)

To clarify, I'm talking about how despite being the original versions of those games, they still only run at 30. You can get either for cheaper on PC and they'll run way smoother.

They seemed to have fixed the performance issues, I had no problems playing it, and didn't noticed any hiccups on my then "gamer" pc with a FX 6130 and a Rx 570.

Yeah, Knight on PC is fine now and a damn good game.
Question of my own: I'm diving back into Breath of the Wild after playing maybe 60% of it back in the day and getting distracted by other shit and it's drawn me right in. I know some other games have copied the formula like Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves, are there any other games that would be considered "BOTW-likes"?

There was Immortals: Fenyx Rising that ubisoft put out a couple years ago. I've never played it so I can't comment on it's quality, but it's ubisoft so

I would strongly recommend Asylum and City at least for whatever system you prefer. The others in the series are fine but you should definitely start with the first two any way you can. They're classics that hold up to this day and there's a good reason why studies copy the game's combat style to this day.

Do people stick to a general fantasy? Do you always go "aight what's the closest thing to a paladin" etc? I feel whenever I find a class I enjoy in a game I have to reevaulate my general outlook on the class in other games.

If I can I typically play some sort of sneaky ranged attacker. I've tried multiple times to be anything but a stealth archer in Skyrim but I never end up enjoying it as much. It's always just been more fun to slowly and methodically pick off enemies than rush in swinging a melee weapon or dealing with mana and cooldowns and shit.

I usually play to a theme, but the theme can change. Last time I played through Skyrim I was a "thief" (stealth with a dagger). I'm playing through Elden Ring currently as a "grim reaper." If I play through it again I'll probably run a completely different build.
The one thing I consistently stick to though is whenever I play a shooter with any sort of customization, I always run a "milsim" loadout, meta be damned.

Knight is really let down by the incongruence of the car gameplay. All of the returning gameplay is upgraded and streamlined well, but then the batmobile enters the picture and too many things just don't make sense and are obviously 'gameplay'. At least the stupid riddles in City were easy to ignore. The fact you have to do side missions to progress the story is a huge disappointment too - for starters that makes them not side missions, but more than that it further reduces the illusion of agency, which has always been integral to the series. But yeah for all my bitching the stuff that works works great. I think I've played through it about ten times since it was released lol.
Botw-likes on the other hand, I wish. I actually wondered that myself two months ago, but I didn't find anything aside from those gacha games. If you wanted link to the past likes, that I could help with, there have been some good ones released recently. I didn't really think that Fenyx Rising game was like botw, it felt more like a friendlier pg version of assassin's creed, but maybe that was just me feeling ubisoft fatigue (iirc that game came out in the same month as watch dogs legion and assassin's creed valhalla, because I used my free month trial of ubisoft plus to play all of them). My best suggestion for more botw is the Second Wind mod - it remixes a bunch of the shrines with harder puzzles and adds new quests, new food, weapon crafting and a new town.
The biggest issue with second wind is installing it - to do it you need to dump botw, merge the mod and then rebuild it. It's not hard, it's just time consuming, and if you want to play it on a switch even moreso. Still it scratched my 'more botw' itch.
Back me up!

Is the The Callisto Protocol worth the stank of dealing with the Epic Games store? I heard up and downs from when it was released.

No, it is a very subpar game at best, the combat is terrible the story is meh which is the two major components. Also, it's singleplayer just torrent.
