10 New Game Plus Modes That Changed EVERYTHING

10. No Counter Icons - Batman: Arkham City

Having beaten what is arguably one of the best Batman games to date, you probably feel like a bit of a hero yourself. After all, you've taken down countless criminals and supervillains without even breaking a sweat - unless you've really been giving your thumbs a workout.

As such, it can be easy to blast into new game plus without really thinking about it - only to immediately regret it when you realise what this mode entails.

Because Arkham City's new game plus is, in many ways, very similar to the regular game - only, you now don't get any helpful icons telling you when a bad guy is about to attack. This means that timing counters is entirely a matter of your own abilities, and that it's incredibly easy to get the kevlar knocked out of you when you realise you've been relying on these symbols the whole time.

That said, for anyone who'd gotten too adjusted to the gameplay, it's the perfect way to get some more time out of it - so long as you're willing to sacrifice feeling like a cool unstoppable Bat-shaped wrecking ball.
