Why are the levels so tiny?

[peep]

I want to explore and find hidden areas but each map takes like 5-10 mins to beat with no exploration.

[AILAD]

Yeah, I get all flags in every map and always surprised by how small they are.

[peep]

It sucks because just when you find your groove in a level it's basically over. Nioh levels were huge compared to this...

[Darksidewalker]

It is a downgrade in every aspect to Nioh.

[White Glint]

i find that just a waste of time, expecially because you are supposed to clear the same mission multiple times

[Nephew Sam]

i thought theyll get bigger later on but i beat like 8th boss and the levels are so tiny and full of entire armies of enemies

[MasterDrake]

yep, weird
Usually in Nioh it took me 80 minutes to clear a mission, here way less

Best change they did so far is detaching inheritable effects from gear items. So you can disassemble gear without worrying as you'll still get the effects as separate items you can use later. Everything else feels like a downgrade tho.

Have people already forgotten how everyone used to complain how poorly designed Nioh's maps were? Too complex, basically filling the entire space of the map with long winding corridors. 3D puzzles with the goal to make the longest point from A to B.

I played through the first Nioh game like 5 times. Its individual mission maps maybe 15~20+ times each. I'm glad the maps arent like that. Its nice to see some actual open spaces in the map.

That said I dont like the lack of hidden areas like the hotsprings or just hidden walls in general.

Not only that. Trait customization itself is available without having to beat the game first.
There's also no levels anymore so we dont have to worry about constantly upgrading our weapons levels and having to pay absurd amount of money.

Its nice finding an item and knowing you can just keep it for more then like 2 missions.
And its nice being able to have some good equipment bonusses even early on instead of several NG+ into the game.

Level 7 or 8, I don't remember which, the one with the snake boss, has been pretty extensive so far. So maybe just the earlier levels are smaller.

Never saw that but Nioh 1 levels were awesome.

Was one of the number 1 complaints about nioh 1. Levels were too complex and reused far too often. People got lost, which is why we have a compass pointing towards your objective now. Levels also don't get finished in 10 minutes, you're just being silly on that regard. I mean if you run right to the boss? Sure, but you wanna fight a 20 morale boss at 0? Be my guest.

It’s a PS3 game.

[Lord Golden]

Well if you paid attention to Team Ninja when they showcased the game they literally say all the things that people are in these forums complaining about

If you want to explore, go play Sea of Thieves.
