The upcoming survival shooter The Day Before impresses with top-notch graphics and exciting open-world gameplay, where you fight for survival in a zombie apocalypse. Many users see this as a game that looks like what The Division was originally imagined to be.
What is The Day Before? The Day Before is an upcoming survival shooter that strongly resembles The Division. However, the setting is a zombie apocalypse that arose from a pandemic. The infected have turned into bloodthirsty zombies.
These plague zombies are not strange monster creatures but rather simply brainless, shambling beings that want to feast on your flesh. So they are supposed to be “realistic” zombies, not mutated monstrosities like in Back 4 Blood.
The game involves not only fighting zombies but also searching for food, weapons, and resources to survive. The Day Before is set to be released in June 2022 for PC on Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Top-notch graphics and exciting gameplay
What are the features? The most important feature of The Day Before is the phenomenal graphics. Watching the gameplay trailer, countless cool details immediately stand out:
- Vehicles churn up mud with their tires, splattering it wildly.
- Light is realistically reflected in puddles and on shiny surfaces.
- The lighting is remarkable, promising a very realistic and threatening atmosphere.
Everything seen so far in gameplay looks extremely good and promises an atmospherically powerful game that one can deeply immerse in.
Besides the graphics, the game is expected to offer the following highlights:
- Weather effects that impact gameplay
- Constant PvP and fighting for resources with other players
- Survival elements, like hunger or cold
- Vehicles
What do users say? Looking at the numerous comments under the trailers on YouTube, you often hear that The Day Before strongly resembles The Division. And indeed, both games share many elements, being that both are cover shooters, resemble each other in style, and take place in a post-apocalyptic USA. However, many players go so far as to say that The Day Before could become the better Division:
- Jwalkir: ‘Looks like what we hoped for from The Division’
- Zamouri One of the 3: ‘For me, it’s the game that The Division should have been.’
- Dat Boii: ‘Looks like Division, but polished with zombies… I’m in!’
However, doubts remain as the game looks simply too good to be true:
- Jack: ‘If we get what they’re showing us, then this game will be amazing. However, I’m not completely convinced that we will get it in the end.’
- GEnocide2099: ‘This game will have a lot of funny glitches and bugs at launch.’
- Tony, The Stark: ‘Another game where you can do “everything” and go “everywhere” that will end up being a total flop. Can’t wait…’
So let’s hope that The Day Before ultimately delivers on what the excellent trailers promise. There’s still quite a bit of time until June 2022.
