to me it feels like the opposite. I got turned around on a massive level close to the end and with zero visual signposting (late game even seems to abandon the "lanterns light the way" clue), and i ended up at almost the very start of the whole section. no minimap is just a bad idea
Expedition 33's early levels are "badly designed," says Gears of War legend, but the game is still "mind-blowingly impressive"

Was at a Christmas party with a load of clergy last night and as some people were leaving they found a person collapsed on the street outside so the Verger took over and called an ambulance and sent all the clergy away because "if they wake up surrounded by priests that'll just make things worse"
