My biggest gripe with Dying Light 2's visuals and presentation pertains to performance on the Xbox Series X.

Other parts of the map are blighted with strange chemicals the authorities used in attempts to contain the virus, leaving pockets of poisoned and hazardous terrain that ramp up traversal challenges. The map is split into outskirts areas, complex interior locales, and an impressively vertiginous downtown area, replete with skyscrapers designed to encourage parkour enthusiasts.
