Woodland areas flow beautifully with rare signs of performance drops. Right now the question is simple: how do PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles run the game? Are 30fps and 60fps modes best for play - or should you push higher for the ray tracing features? Without question, Dying Light 2 looks great on all three current-gen systems.

For that, you'll need a high-end PC (where Dying Light 2 offers even more visual features) and we'll be talking about that in our next piece. Three different rendering modes are on offer on PS5 and Series X consoles, all of them delivering something desirable - but the horsepower simply isn't there to offer them all in combination. Our first impression? Dying Light 2 can look astonishing - but it's no secret that it's exceptionally heavy on the GPU. With a focus of straddling the console generations while utilising cutting-edge visuals on the latest hardware, the studio promises us a rich density in detail, seamless streaming, upgraded physics, animation and AI. Developer Techland has a reputation for delivering exceptional visuals via its own in-house technology - the C-Engine, taking centre-stage in Dying Light 2.
