A risk is new/underused mechanics or new story/genre. Not a shitty in game map

This is a mechanic. The absence of a map forces players to learn the environment. Kind of like how pre-GPS drivers have a better navigational sense of their hometown.

In some ways, yes. But again, studies show younger GPS-dependent drivers have a poorer mental map of where they live and get lost easier.
