How Big Is The Map
is my new favourite website and YouTube channel. The answers to the question the site poses are given in the time it takes to cross a game’s map, not the physical size of the world.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, for instance, not only lets you parkour, run, and walk, but you can adjust the character’s walking speed as well. I didn’t know that.
The site’s journey across Valhalla’s England is a three-hour stroll across the green and pleasant land, starting in the south east and ending in the north west. Come watch.
