I got lost a few times too, but I think they did a good job of providing mitigation for that with specific large landmarks you can see at least one of from anywhere, like the big tree, the mountain, the windmill.
I understand what the devs were trying to do by not having one. When a map is there, especially an always-on minimap, I basically spend my whole time with my eyes glued to that tiny corner of the screen rather than actually looking at tbr world. So I can respect the decision to try and do without it.
Yeah I liked the free form exploration, felt more like a kid on an adventure.
I my opinion this game did open world design better than most games out there. I personally put it above BOTW, but that’s probably a controversial opinion.

Enjoyed the first one. The lack of a map was agonizing though. Kept getting lost in the world. I believe you only unlock it after credits roll.

Really excited to hear they’re making a sequel.
