Nether spawning issue: Too many mobs!

So I finally managed to get enough materials to get a nether portal. As soon as I load into the Nether around 20 gahsts spawn and Barely leave me with enough time to escape. I turn the corner and what do I see? around 12 ender men. So I am forced to jump down to a lower level of the nether and the floor is infested with skeletons. Everywhere I look. Around 25 Skeletons in each chunk. And I die in around 12 seconds. Bare in mind this is EASY difficulty. I've been really looking forward to playing this update but it seems like the spawn rates have been times by 10. Too many mobs. I cant Navigate in the Nether. Haven't found a single Piglin or new mob apart from the Striders which appear to be floating. But the weird thing is this only seems to be happening in the Nether. Not the overworld. Id really appreciate it if Mojang fixed this issue.

many thanks, George
