Early Access Review
I recently delved into the world of "The Day Before," enticed by promises of a uniquely reimagined post-apocalyptic open-world MMO survival experience set on the US East Coast. However, my journey left me more than a little disappointed, as the game falls short of its advertised open-world claim and fails to deliver on the promised uniqueness.

First and foremost, "The Day Before" is marketed as an open-world game, but it quickly becomes apparent that this is a misleading characterization. Instead of an expansive, immersive open-world environment, players find themselves confined to a walled-in city with extraction points that are constantly camped by other players. This deviation from expectations is not only frustrating but also limits the freedom and exploration that one would typically associate with open-world games.

The game's world, although visually filled with assets, lacks the depth and substance expected from a true open-world experience. The absence of zombies, except for sporadic clusters, creates a hollow and unconvincing post-apocalyptic setting. This lack of environmental challenges diminishes the survival aspect and fails to deliver the intense, immersive atmosphere that fans of the genre crave.

Another notable letdown is the absence of VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) communication. In a multiplayer survival game, communication is essential for collaboration, strategy, and overall enjoyment. The omission of this feature is perplexing and leaves players reliant on external communication tools, hindering the in-game experience.

While it's acknowledged that "The Day Before" is in early access, the shortcomings in its current state are clear disappointments. The game's departure from the promised open-world dynamic and its failure to offer a truly unique experience raise questions about the direction the developers have taken.

In conclusion, "The Day Before" falls short of its advertised promises, leaving players with a sense of dissatisfaction. The game's departure from the open-world genre, coupled with an unconvincing post-apocalyptic setting and the absence of VOIP, detracts from the potential enjoyment of what could have been an exciting survival experience. As the game continues to evolve in early access, it is my hope that the developers address these issues to provide a more fulfilling and unique gaming experience for players.

OHH AND I GOT STUCK IN THE STARTING ROOM :D
