The one thing I've noticed playing Far Cry New Dawn is that Hope County doesn't seem all that terribly worse off for having gone through a nuclear war. The roads are crappier but there are still plenty of vehicles lying around to ride around in, and the Highwaymen are jerks but there seem to be far fewer people gutted and nailed to things than there were in Far Cry 5.   

The world itself doesn't look all that awful, either. While games like Fallout and Metro present players with classic "blasted wasteland" environments, Far Cry New Dawn's world is lush and pretty. Associate narrative director James Nadiger told GamesIndustry that the more colorful, upbeat setting helps set New Dawn apart from other end-of-the-world games, and it's not entirely fantastical.
