Always loved the San Andreas map and how loving huge it felt at the time, even though without the fog you can pretty much see the whole map from any high point lol. Probably the peak of GTA and there’s so much variety in the different areas

Evil castle, giant robot, moon. It's basically the FF4 world map.

I like maps your character actually takes out and you have to use that way. Tlou2 had a cool one that filled in as you explored Dishboured 2 has some nice looking maps but I never found them that useful

Probably the peak of GTA and there’s so much variety in the different areas Yeah, San Andreas had a great map. Just peak GTA, even for cruising around. Despite my love of Vice City and GTA3, I spent heaps of time in SA's map. I basically did all of the random side activities just to explore and have fun in that game - the triathlons were pretty good, I remember. I don't think I really cared too much about any subsequent GTA's map too much beyond for mission purposes, tbh. The GTASA one was just so good by comparison

And yeah 5's just a cut down SA, so eh. This actually got me wondering about the GTA:SA definitive edition on Steam, but uh... apparently it's awful, compared to the original? Shame, really!

Probably the peak of GTA and there’s so much variety in the different areas just the way they have the story unfold utilizes the space so well. fly a jet across it, takes no time at all but when you first get dropped in the country area it feels like you truly are stuck in the middle of nowhere all of a sudden and it’s jarring. If that makes sense.

If I remember correctly there's at least one part on that paper map that's outright wrong lol. I remember getting lost for what felt like hours when I was 12 gathering mushrooms on the Bitter Coast because I wasn't aware of the world map button. Eventually I found what I thought was civilisation but it was a Dunmer stronghold and a naked orc beat me to death with a warhammer. One of my best gaming memories

opening the overworld map during the initial trip from cassardis to gran soren in dragon’s dogma suggests a far larger explorable space than what’s actually in the game which is kind of disappointing when 100%ed but makes the game feel huge in the ‘first time in hyrule field’ way gran soren itself is one of my favourite video game cities and has a very satisfying map  not pictured, the gaping hole in the middle of town (caxton, your beloved)

Gran Soren on the other hand looks very impressive as a map, I love it.

Dragon's Dogma does an incredible job of seeming like a much more expensive world than it is. Gran Soren is just a genuinely great RPG city as well

Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms from Vanilla WoW, I know these places far too well. The way most zones were basically divided by being separated by mountains was genius, not a single loading screen unless you enter a dungeon, teleport or take a boat/zeppelin to the other continent. Azeroth really felt like this grand, interconnected world.
