I love games with mazey, non-linear, non-open world level design where I get to just automap everything in my head. Apparently the new generation of gamers can't handle this? Even souls games known for good level design have gone either open world or linear boss rush mode

Elden Ring has the best levels of any From game, they're just scattered in an open world instead of being knit together

this hasn't been a thing for more than 20 years. it started to die out in the sixth gen.
