Does it come as a surprise?
Not really, considering the final product wasn’t what they promised - not even close.
Instead of an MMO, it wasbarelyan extraction shooter.

Consider my words below a record of a rancid time had across its short-lived early access release, then.
Then the game asked you to select a server from a list.
It never happened for me, instead giving me error code after error code.

Then after a swift introduction, you were encouraged to speak to everyone one after the other.
The lady who looked after your stash.
On and on and on it went.

Speak to this person, that person.
All of the inane chats eating into, at the time, your 30-minute refund window.
A map that was small by MMO standards and, unhelpfully, couldn’t be zoomed out.

I think I fired a total of five bullets in my entire time with The Day Before.
Perhaps the only thing I was mildly impressed by was New Fortune City itself.
I haven’t ever known a game so eager to boot you out.

Either way, I’m glad you might’t buy it now and I hope people get their refunds.
What a tiring mess.
This review was based on a retail build of the game provided by developers Fntastic.
