I have to agree with point about controls but not about the map
Controls could be improved (as a azerty user, I was confused before realizing it was a qwerty game), however I commend the devs for the controller support, even if it could be improved too, best would be to let players map their controls how they want (or at least provide a mapping recap for controller, since I had to figure out by myself the inputs).
In my opinion a zoomed map is not a good idea, else you wouldn't be surprised with your... discoveries. As long as you're able to check in which area you are, you should be able to figure out where you're supposed to go (and as far as I went, I only reached Land of the Sealed Flame and I'm ok with that)
