The game's story opts for a fragmented, environmental storytelling approach, encouraging exploration and player interpretation rather than a clear, character-driven narrative. This abstract style appeals to those who enjoy piecing together lore but may feel elusive or underdeveloped for players seeking a traditional plot. However, pacing issues and unclear objectives can hinder narrative engagement.
- “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.”
- “Instead of delivering long cutscenes or extensive dialogue, the game relies on environmental storytelling, mission descriptions, and implied lore to convey its themes.”
- “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.”

The gameplay is a decent and ambitious blend of action shooting, exploration, RPG progression, and light survival mechanics within open-ended maps. While it can be engaging and fun once understood, some mechanics like the sanity system are poorly explained and can detract from the experience. Ongoing updates promise further evolution and enhancement of the 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.”
- “The gameplay loop is actually really fun once you understand it; although not explained very well at first, the sanity pills are important to manage.”
- “As you can imagine, sanity is a very bad mechanic that significantly hurts the game.”
- “This game is jumping on the popular trend of extraction shooters, and although the low cost matches the expectation, the gameplay is decent enough for a couple of rounds.”
