Batman: Arkham Legacy - 10 Fatal Mistakes It Must Avoid

10. All In One Night

There's no doubt that the nights in Gotham City last longer than the days. However, it's started to seem like the sun has just given up on visiting Gotham entirely. When Arkham Asylum released, it was supposed to be "the longest night of Batman's life", and at the time, it was.

Forcing Batman into a corner with limited resources and an army of baddies created a stressful atmosphere from beginning to end. Players felt like they were playing catch up rather than being two steps ahead. Unfortunately this theme of Batman doing it all in one night continued on into the other games in the series, and set a time clock that was both limiting and unrealistic.

By the release of Arkham Knight, there was no need for it. Extending the time period, or even better, getting rid of it completely, would give players a chance to catch their breath between major elements in the story and allow more time for those moments to have a real impact.

This also leaves the story open to give a more in depth exploration of its content, and allow it to linger on those dark and tragic moments that a Batman story can deliver.
