Does anyone think certain maps are too dark?

As Killer specifically, I feel like the new MacMillan maps and Midwich are extremely dark. Other maps are fine but the lighting on these for me is terrible. Does anyone else have a problem with lighting or is it just me?

    The Game is worst for me in terms of lighting. The bottom floor is all darkness. On the plus side, it does make me more alert.

    honestly, a lot of maps are really bright, or their color scheme makes it impossible to hide (ie: the yellow cornfields)

    the lighting gives the realms a personality and makes specific details pop, so the lighting isn't a problem imo

    I feel like I have to play on low graphics settings just because of how dark many of the maps are as low settings makes the game a lot brighter.

    Most egregious for me are the swamp maps. Whenever I run underneath the structures I can't see any of the exits half the time.

    I find the maps super dark. I also feel like there's weirdly extreme variation between how bright different maps are, from ones that are evenly lit with daytime lighting (corn maps) to ones where you literally smash into the wall because you can't see (lower floor of the meat plant).

    As they've been re-working maps, they've been doing more dynamic/varried lighting effects so that there's more of a range of light to dark on each individual map. This may be an opportunity to standardize how dark things are. Like, make it so that the darkest point on every map has the same brightness, and the brightest point on every map has the same brightness, and most points fall in between.

    I play on low too now a days. It is brighter than high and no one blends in low settings.
