Batman: Arkham Legacy - 10 Fatal Mistakes It Must Avoid

3. Let's Go Again

The implementation of a "new game +" mode is a staple of most major action games. The ability to replay the story with all your upgrades is truly fantastic. Whether you're playing on a harder difficulty to challenge yourself, or an easier one to feel like the badass we all wish we were, new game + adds a level of replayability these kinds of games deserve.

So, why does the Arkham Series continue to limit players to one new game + per save file?

Doing this limits the game's replayability as once the new game + is completed, players are forced to start from scratch. The flaw in this is then doubled, as any veteran player of this series knows that in order to finish all the game's objectives there are hundreds of Riddler trophies and challenges to solve.

Finding and collecting them all once is task enough and the benefit of new game + is that players don't have to go hunting for them again. Having the option of replaying any part of a completed game allows players to relive their favorite parts of the story without having to redo all the work to get there.
