Small map?

[Colen Bardbarian]

Just got the game and it seems amazing.

My only concern is that the world map seems a bit small?

Is it?

a second map will open up later as you progress through the main storyline.

So the game is big enough?

It is a smaller map than most games of this type. The map size doesn't come anywhere near close to Skyrim, AC and so on.

The map size is broadly the same as Arkham Asylum and I have to confess I was little disappointed by the initial map size and the close in camera, but the more I play, it all feels well designed and am even happy with close in view now as it does add extra slight challenge in situational awareness.

I also like the fact that map is small enough to ignore fast travel so can experience adventures on my way to objectives without wandering through lots of nothing.

Yeah the maps are 2 and yeah they're not as big as usual open world games' maps are but they're really full of stuff to do and pick up which is what i like.
For example it's not nearly as big as GTA V's map but that map is so big that it feels really empty,without stuff to do.

Big maps aren't always better. The map(s) in Shadow of Mordor are very nicely detailed. Other games with giant maps have mostly less details then one's with smaller maps.
