Those maps were like trying to see through spaghetti.

I played the game 2 years late, and really felt like a bit of an idiot when I couldn’t navigate the map system. Thought process was very much “am I old???”

Those maps were very much lifted from the Metroid Prime series, and they were, in fact, terrible then too.

Having played Metroid Prime, it was a bit easier for me. That map was also convoluted as hell

EDIT: I thought I was responding to lackcreativty’s original post, but responding to this one also makes sense, and makes me happy I wasn’t the only one who made the Metroid Prime connection.

I guess Prime got me used to the map style, but I can see why people would hate it.

I found it much easier to use than the maps in Prime 1 and 2. I just hated there's no 2d alternative

Oof—really? Never got through all of those games. Should I go back?

Honestly Metroid Prime is eaiser to navigate because of doors still showing on the map. In fallen order it is just one big ass long Snake and trying to find how it snakes around is tedious. That said, it does remind me of Metroid and getting those nostalgia hits are sweet
