The Day Before Actually Released?

I covered a likely scam game that I believed would never release at the time it was Steams most wish listed game. So the things I covered was the trailer was mostly made of copied content such as font from The Last Of Us and certain shots similar to The Division or Call of Duty. I think this is the fastest I had ever heard of a game releasing to closure of the studio. Fantastic had closed within days of their launch for the record they announced closure less than a week after launch. Now I do want to correct something I had said the whole deal with the trademark dispute was shady while given track record of shady practices from the studio was what led me to this, this was possibly the only thing true. It hardly helps them and a part of me believes that this would have been better if this game never released as from certain Steam reviews as well as this being the only game I know of for IGN to give a 1/10 to be entirely unplayable. For the record that is the lowest I have ever seen one of their scores. I only have pity for Gabriel Moss the writer for IGN who had to write that review as he was playing an early build for the game and who knows what changes or fixes were made if any. If you are wondering servers for the Day Before and Propnight are up, though who knows or for that matter cares, for how long. I think I was rough on this game for the lack of originality as well as the studio’s habit of advertising one thing to seemingly bring in audiences then show another game of much lower scale. Now I strangely believe I wasn’t rough enough. The only thing people will have difficulty with when deciding the worst game of the year is the order. This year alone we got games like Kong Skull Island, The Lord Of The Rings Gollum, Red Faction, and now The Day Before. If only this game waited a month it could have been added to next years lists.
