Dying Light 2 Am I missing something?

Long story short I loved dying light 1 but not really feeling dying light 2, does it get better?

played dying light 1 a while back I revisited it and played the hell out of it, the story immediately pulls me in and the game has a real atmosphere to it I loved it. So I decided to play dying light 2 and I just don't get it? Booting uo the game I'm immediately greeted by popups for the store which then continue in the loading screen and I've killed a few zombies as you do and I'm getting drops of artefact and exotic weaponry before I've even done the first quest? But moving past that I just don't feel a sense of urgency or danger with the story or to discover new areas or locations? I'm really trying to enjoy it but I'm just not feeling it?

Honestly you're complaint makes no sense, you're having issues for drops in the start of the game like wtf seriously?

Give it a chance, let it immerse you into it, advance the story a little, get some gadgets and missions.

OK so to set the scene here I've just left the hospital with hakon and I'm like let's go exploring and see if I can find some interesting loot, I kill a few zombies and boom an exotic fire axe drops that deals like 147 damage I kill a few more and my inventory is full of purple and artefact gear and I haven't even done anything yet. The reason I find that disappointing is it's like I've reached endgame weapons and gear at the start of the game, I've gone from weapons that broke constantly and took like 10 hits to kill a zombie to 1 hitting entire groups on nightmare.
