replayability2 positive mentions
stability4 negative mentions
  • The gameplay loop is fun and simple with good replay value, especially the gacha system using in-game currency only.
  • The game offers multiple unique characters with different combat styles and encourages experimentation and different builds.
  • The open world and map design provide interesting exploration opportunities and a distinctive atmosphere.
  • The game suffers from numerous bugs, crashes, and poor optimization affecting stability and immersion.
  • The chest looting system is tedious and slow, and the controls, camera, and UI have several usability issues.
  • The overall polish is lacking with cheap asset usage, poor translation, inconsistent art style, and awkward mechanics like the sanity system.

  • story

    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    17% positive mentions, 66% neutral mentions, 17% negative mentions

    The game’s story is minimal and fragmented, focusing on environmental storytelling and player-driven exploration rather than a traditional, scripted narrative. While this approach appeals to those who enjoy piecing together lore through observation, the lack of clear objectives and character-driven plot can leave others feeling lost or disengaged. Overall, the narrative is underdeveloped and secondary to gameplay, which emphasizes freedom and experimentation.

    • “Rather than guiding the player through a tightly scripted narrative, the game emphasizes freedom of movement and experimentation, encouraging players to explore hostile environments, complete missions at their own pace, and gradually uncover fragments of a broader, more abstract story about humanity, power, and the consequences of tampering with forces beyond comprehension.”
    • “Instead of delivering long cutscenes or extensive dialogue, the game relies on environmental storytelling, mission descriptions, and implied lore to convey its themes.”
    • “This fragmented storytelling style will resonate most with players who enjoy piecing together meaning through observation, while those seeking a clear, character-driven plot may find the narrative elusive or underdeveloped.”
    • “After the first mission there is still nothing to tell you what you are supposed to do or where to go. I looked at all this crap that I have no idea what it's for or why I should care to pick it up.”
    • “The story almost ceases to exist. The game holds no controller support, and the map you see in the video is only a one-time intro map; the other maps are much simpler.”

  • gameplay

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    23% positive mentions, 54% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    The gameplay of "Better Days" offers a simple, consistent, and fun shooting loop with RPG-style progression and light survival mechanics, though it is somewhat undermined by a clunky gacha system and unclear mechanics like "sanity." While not overly grindy and featuring free characters, it suffers from minor bugs and limited controller support, making it a decent but basic experience fitting its low price. The game shows promise with ongoing updates and evolving content, appealing primarily for short, casual sessions.

    • “The gameplay loop is fun.”
    • “At the heart of Better Days is its open-ended gameplay loop, which revolves around venturing into expansive maps filled with enemies, resources, and objectives that can be approached in multiple ways.”
    • “Better Days is an ambitious indie title that clearly aims higher than its modest origins, blending action shooting, exploration, RPG-style progression, and light survival mechanics into a single, loosely structured experience.”
    • “It's just that it feels thrown together with the gacha mechanics and the hub.”
    • “As you can imagine, sanity is a very bad mechanic that significantly hurts the game.”
    • “"Better Days" is a shooting game where you start with 3 characters each with unique weapons and unlock others using a gacha system. All characters are free, which is a plus. You earn money by gathering and selling relics, level up characters, and craft better equipment. The map shown in the video is just a one-time intro map; other maps are simpler. The game lacks controller support, the story almost ceases to exist, and it is a little buggy mostly with UI issues. It's not very grindy, and overall it's nothing fancy but decent for the price.”

  • stability

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game experiences frequent bugs, primarily affecting the UI rather than gameplay, which some players find frustrating. While not severely impacting playability, the stability issues detract from the overall experience.

    • “Very buggy.”
    • “The bugs, the game is so incredibly buggy.”
    • “I really wanted to like this game but as it stands, it is too buggy.”

  • graphics

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, -25% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    The graphics are generally considered average, with some users noting indie-level limitations and store-bought assets that lack consistency. However, the game's atmosphere and world design help compensate for the lower visual fidelity. Improvement could come from developing unique, cohesive art assets.

    • “I think if the developers really focus on building a good foundation, and then shift to replacing the store-bought assets with their own unique ones that have consistent art styles, then it could be a great experience overall.”
    • “This game is graphically ok.”
    • “With the exception of the graphics being okay, this game has no other redeeming qualities I could find, even for the price.”
    • “This game is graphically okay.”
    • “Although the visuals are clearly constrained by indie-scale production values, the world design compensates through atmosphere rather than raw fidelity.”

  • grinding

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game involves leveling up multiple characters and gathering resources through repetitive tasks, which some players find tedious due to slow looting mechanics. Despite this, the grind is manageable and balanced by the free availability of characters and in-game earning systems, making it acceptable for the game's price. Overall, while not highly grind-heavy, certain mechanics like slow item loading can feel unnecessarily tedious.

    • “The looting is a joke. It takes about 5 seconds to loot a box, then another 3-4 seconds for each item to load—one at a time, each taking 3-4 seconds. Even if you can speed this up with a perk, it's just stupidly tedious.”
    • “I wanted to get all the new characters and try them out/level them up, so while it did get a bit grindy after a while, I kept at it until I got them all.”
    • “"Better Days" is a shooting game where you unlock characters using a gacha system with in-game currency. You earn money by gathering and selling items while trying to increase your characters' levels and craft better weapons and clothes. The game is not that grindy, but the process can be repetitive.”

  • replayability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, -50% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The game's replayability is driven primarily by its gacha system, requiring numerous draws to collect all characters. This encourages repeated play through various stages, with character switching significantly altering the experience of familiar missions and environments.

    • “Basically, you play stages (open world, single stage, time-based attack) to earn money to perform the gacha, and that is where the replay value is, as it might take hundreds if not thousands of gacha draws to get all the characters.”
    • “This structure encourages replayability, as switching characters can dramatically change how familiar missions and environments feel.”

  • optimization

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Optimization is inconsistent, with noticeable stuttering during acceleration and fluctuating performance that can disrupt immersion at times.

    • “Stuttering while accelerating.”
    • “Animations, interface design, and performance can fluctuate depending on the situation, occasionally disrupting immersion.”

  • atmosphere

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The atmosphere of the game is a strong point, effectively compensating for its indie-level visual limitations by creating an engaging and multifaceted world. It emphasizes freedom and variety, delivering a distinctive mood that enhances the overall experience despite less polished graphics.

    • “Although the visuals are clearly constrained by indie-scale production values, the world design compensates through atmosphere rather than raw fidelity.”
    • “Ultimately, Better Days stands as a bold and multifaceted indie effort that prioritizes freedom, variety, and atmosphere over refinement and accessibility.”

  • emotional

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game evokes a thoughtful emotional experience by exploring themes of humanity's relentless quest for power and the ensuing cycles of collapse, adding a deeper philosophical layer to the investigative narrative.

    • “The central idea of investigating anomalies and retrieving powerful objects gradually hints at a larger philosophical backdrop, touching on humanity’s repeated pursuit of power and the cycles of collapse that follow.”
