I predict that that will be...unpopular.
Games without minimaps but with full maps are just stupid. I'd accept it if they make you discover the maps, but most games don't work that way.
This one sounds like there's no maps at all, which is a choice a company can make. Their little thematic bullshit (it's an expedition) is fine but easily, easily solvable with fog of war.
This is shaping up to be a hell of a good release
I've recently been disabling minimaps in games that let me.... hell of a good idea, makes the game way more immersive and fun to navigate.
That being said, it does require a certain mindset that using a minimap doesn't. You need to be willing to take things slow, take in your surroundings, and really look. I recognize that most people don't like going that slow and so minimaps are useful. I hope that they've taken that into consideration with this decision.
