  • Measuring size alone is meaningless, as gameplay affects perceived size, and density of meaningful content in relation affects the experience.

    Size should match content.

    Skyrim is canonically pretty close to the size and shape of Estonia, but in game it’s very small. If the game’s content was spread out to the “real” size, it would feel completely barren.

    The map in Deus Ex MD was quite small, just a couple tiny districts, but it punched way above its size because it was so dense in detail.
