SN1 feels *much* bigger than it is, even though you're playing the whole game within about a cubic mile.
For one thing the Snow Fox makes me feel seasick and more importantly I was just lost all the time! (How I find it easier to navigate underwater than on land is beyond me.) The frozen wastes must be 20% of the map and they were horrible for me. The purple crystal zone is lovely, but pretty barren and I accidentally sort of neutered the one threat it has. It feels like of what there is there's a lot of dead space. I personally wouldn't care if the game world was smaller still, if it felt denser. I'm not sure this is a useful comparison. No matter which map you believe to me more correct (my money is on the map rendered straight from the geometry) it doesn't change the fact that the BZ map is significantly smaller than SN1's map. I uploaded another image to imgur where you can check the difference between the 3d generated and the handdrawn map on the wiki.
Since these two maps are directly add odds with each other in certain areas I had to pick one of the two and settled for the one generated straight from the 3d mesh. While the one on the wiki seems to be handdrawn and doesn't include any dimensions the one I used was rendered straight from the game's geometry and has clear dimension markers both in terms of depth as well as lenght. edit1: The reason why I didn't use the map on the WIki is because I can't reconstruct how this map was generated and it seems a lot less precise than the map I used. If you are a potential buyer and need a comparison that is true to scale you might have a look before dropping 30$ on a game that is substantially smaller in scope than the original which ironically cost less. I compiled my findings into an image and attached it via imgur link. I knew it was smaller than in the base game but when I found out how small the map actually is I was a bit underwhelmed. Since the release of Below Zero is getting closer (it's a Christmas miracle!) I decided to do some research how big the map is compared to the original.
