I welcome mazelike level design with puzzles. It reminiscents to old school pen'n'paper games where you had to think over how to solve certain situation and sketch level.
I think this approach with modern take, benefits future RPG legacy.
When you think through, some of the hardest challenges in Baldur's gate 2 were the most remembered and players are always returning to them.
Let Larian create such modern masterpiece.
