I miss the old maps.

In a few days it will be a year since The Realm Beyond graphically ruined and improved the maps.

I miss playing old Springwood and old Macmillan State. With this graphic change it makes the environment seem more abandoned, for example Springwood was more blue and dark green and now it is dark purple and bright yellow.

The best thing would be to take advantage of the last 3 maps left before they improve them or are much worse ######### maps than now.

    Lately with Autohaven I need to get closer to the screen because I can't see well from afar. Either on PC or PS4 I really hate how that map turned out because of the graphic updates.

    I'm not gonna lie...kinda miss old coldwind. New coldwind is fine, but I still miss the old one, It used to be one of the maps I got the most when I was like freshly new. Im talking one month into the map new.

    I'm not sure if this is an unpopular opinion but I think the realm beyond is absolutely horrible. When it was first announced I was super excited but in action I loathe it so so much.

    i like the graphics and some broken loops being fixed (ironworks window for example) but breakable walls are one of the most unnecessary and irritating design choices in this game.

    Honestly the atmosphere and style of the game has been lost to me. It just feels empty now

    I miss the maps where I wouldn't get stuck on rocks.

    The updated maps look absolutely fantastic, but for the most part they play like absolute crap. It's hard to believe that they buffed the indoor map that had 16+ safe tiles.

    The new maps lack character in my opinion. There is a reason some people still love old graphics or lo-fi music or old movies. The old maps may look worse if realism is your ultimate goal, but character and atmosphere is more important for me. Of course nostalgia plays a part in why some things have more character...

    I kind of miss the old maps because it felt like they had their own character and they made the game feel more scarier.

    Most of the old maps felt unnerving, like you weren't supposed to be there. But the graphically updated maps just feel empty and lifeless, like no atmosphere or character was put into them.
