It has been compared to The Division series quite heavily, due to the premise resembling that of the Tom Clancy series.

The Day Before touches on several different genres including MMO, survival, and zombie games. RELATED: Zombie Survival Game The Day Before Took Inspiration from Animal Crossing The possibility of unconscious bias is a reasonable excuse, in addition to the overt similarities, to distance The Day Before from The Last of Us. Despite the widespread critical acclaim, a lot of fans didn't enjoy the title. The Last of Us Part 2 was an extremely divisive game, and while The Day Before isn't connected with Naughty Dog's series, there might be some unconscious association with the latest chapter in that series. Beyond just diverging from influence from The Last of Us, FNTASTIC should look at how the title can stand on its own.įor the comparisons with The Last of Us, there is a reason to differentiate the game other than just the gameplay and premise similarities. One of the main competitors that The Day Before could face is DayZ, due to the similarity in genre and premise.
