Redfall and The Day Before Listed Among Biggest Disappointments of 2023 by PC Gamer

The year 2023 brought a mix of surprises and disappointments to the PC gaming community. Notable successes included Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty and Baldur's Gate 3, which exceeded gamers' expectations. However, there were also significant letdowns noted in the gaming industry.

PC Gamer's list of the year's biggest disappointments prominently featured two games: Redfall and The Day Before. Redfall, a highly anticipated title, fell short of expectations, and The Day Before, which promised to be a groundbreaking MMO, ended up being buggy and failed to deliver on its promises.

Critics and players alike found Redfall to be a game that was bafflingly released in its state, starkly contrasting with the high expectations set for it and compared to other popular titles.

The Day Before faced serious technical issues post-launch, leading to its removal from sale just four days after its release. This failure was compounded by the studio's announcement of its closure due to a lack of funds to continue supporting the game.

Additionally, PC Gamer's list of disappointments included the RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti graphics cards, which were equipped with only 8 GB of VRAM, proving insufficient for modern gaming needs despite NVIDIA's contrary claims​.
