Issue 1: Too Open
The map is too open, so there is a lot of
wasted space. The player really has no
reason to not take the quickest path, so the design is inefficient.

Issue 2: No Wayfinding
It is really easy to get lost in the map because
there is no sense of direction.

Issue 3: No Sense of Location
The player really can’t tell where they are. The
map has no sense of identity.
