atmosphere2 positive mentions
story3 negative mentions
  • The game offers a fun and simple gameplay loop that can entertain players for several hours.
  • The character designs are appealing and each character has unique abilities and playstyles, encouraging replayability.
  • The gacha system uses only in-game currency, making characters accessible without real money, which is appreciated.
  • The game suffers from numerous bugs, including crashes, clipping issues, and long loading times that hinder smooth gameplay.
  • Lack of proper tutorial or introduction makes the game confusing and hard to understand for new players.
  • Poor optimization and performance issues cause falls through maps and low frame rates; combined with clunky controls and slow looting mechanics.

  • story

    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    11% positive mentions, 72% neutral mentions, 17% negative mentions

    The game's story is minimal and fragmented, relying heavily on environmental storytelling and player exploration rather than a clear, scripted narrative. While this approach offers freedom and encourages replayability, it may feel underdeveloped or elusive for those seeking a more direct, character-driven plot. Additionally, unclear mission objectives and pacing issues can detract from the overall narrative experience.

    • “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.”
    • “After the first mission, there is still nothing to tell you what you're supposed to do or where to go. I looked at all this stuff 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 is not that grindy; it is a little bit buggy, but nothing major (most of the bugs are UI rather than gameplay).”
    • “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.”

  • gameplay

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    21% positive mentions, 58% neutral mentions, 21% negative mentions

    The gameplay of the game is a mixed experience, featuring a solid core loop with shooting, exploration, RPG progression, and light survival elements, though it is often hampered by clunky controls, a confusing interface, and poorly explained mechanics like "sanity." While not particularly grindy and offering some free characters and in-game currency, it can feel thrown together and buggy, but remains decent enough for casual play and shows promise through ongoing updates. Overall, it suits players looking for a modest, evolving indie action shooter despite its flaws.

    • “The answer is that it's so damn cheap, the gameplay loop is so simple and consistent, and the concept itself is solid.”
    • “"Better Days" is a shooting game where you start with 3 characters each with her own unique weapon and unlock the others using a gacha system with in-game money/items (ace coupons). So far all characters are free, which is a plus for the developer. You earn money from gathering items and selling them (called relics) while trying to increase your characters' levels/class levels and craft better weapons/clothes. It is nothing fancy but for the price, it is good enough. The map shown is only a one-time intro map; other maps are much simpler. The game lacks controller support, and the story nearly ceases to exist. The game is not that grindy. It is a little buggy but nothing major (most bugs are UI-related rather than gameplay).”
    • “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.”
    • “Everything about it is bad — the gameplay is clunky, and the interface is borderline painful to look at.”
    • “It's just that it feels like with due to how thrown together the gacha mechanics are, along with the hub.”
    • “As you can imagine, sanity is a very bad mechanic that significantly hurts the game.”

  • graphics

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The graphics are generally seen as subpar or inconsistent, often relying on stock assets and lacking a cohesive art style. While visual fidelity is limited by indie production constraints, the game's atmosphere helps to somewhat compensate for these graphical shortcomings.

    • “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.”
    • “Although the visuals are clearly constrained by indie-scale production values, the world design compensates through atmosphere rather than raw fidelity.”
    • “It's a complete mess, especially the graphics.”
    • “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.”

  • stability

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

    The game's stability is notably problematic, with users reporting numerous bugs primarily affecting the UI rather than core gameplay. While not rendering the game unplayable, these issues significantly detract from the experience and prevent it from reaching its full potential.

    • “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.”

  • grinding

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

    Grinding in this game involves leveling up multiple characters and gathering items, which can become tedious, especially due to slow looting mechanics where items load one by one. However, the grind is manageable and balanced by free character unlocks and in-game currency, making it acceptable for the price despite some minor bugs and simplified maps.

    • “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 start with 3 characters, each with their own unique weapon, and unlock others using a gacha system with in-game money/items (ace coupon). You earn money by gathering items and selling them while trying to increase your characters' and class levels and craft better weapons/clothes. It is nothing fancy but good enough for the price. The game is not that grindy, though it can feel repetitive.”

  • replayability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The game's replayability is driven primarily by its gacha system, encouraging players to repeatedly complete stages to earn currency for character draws. The variety of characters obtained significantly alters gameplay experiences, keeping familiar missions and environments feeling fresh.

    • “This structure encourages replayability, as switching characters can dramatically change how familiar missions and environments feel.”
    • “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.”

  • optimization

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

    Optimization is inconsistent, with occasional stuttering during acceleration and fluctuating performance in animations and interface design, which can sometimes disrupt immersion.

    • “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 praised for effectively compensating for its indie-scale visual limitations, creating an engaging and multifaceted world. It emphasizes a sense of freedom and variety, prioritizing mood and immersion over high graphical fidelity and polish.

    • “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 emotional aspect of the game is driven by a thought-provoking narrative that explores humanity's relentless quest for power and the resulting cycles of collapse, adding a deeper philosophical layer to the investigative gameplay.

    • “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.”
