    Haven
    Cute and Pretty and Pretty Boring
    Haven is a 3rd person exploration game where you play solo or coop as Kay and Yu, two lovers that escaped to a lost planet together.. at first Haven looks promising with its beautiful color and design, its race like mechanics for floating around this lost planet… but almost instantly turns into a head scratching, what is this? its kind of    Haven

    Haven is a 3rd person exploration game where you play solo or coop as Kay and Yu, two lovers that escaped to a lost planet together.. at first Haven looks promising with its beautiful color and design, its race like mechanics for floating around this lost planet… but almost instantly turns into a head scratching, what is this?
    its kind of instantly boring and never does much to ease this feeling, there is cute boyfriend girlfriend dialog between the two, you can explore the world to find different ingredients to cook for eachother, and you can collect materials to upgrade your items and your home called the nest, and the game looks and feels the same for at least 4 hours… I couldn’t muster up the care to see haven all the way through to the end, it is just so repetitive, all 4 hours look the same and have you doing the same things,clean up this iron goo, pacify these rogue creatures in a little turn based combat, and float across these bridges to a new patch of land just to do the same thing…
    I couldn’t take it anymore…
    Sadly there is no aspect here I could see that could make anyone else feel otherwise..
    Not even the relationship building between to two..
    I just couldn’t care where cleaning up this world would take me..
    I give Haven
    a 5/10    … Expand

    Haven is doubly frustrating because the visuals, story and soundtrack are so good, but the gameplay is bafflingly mundane and protracted.

    Haven is a noteworthy story that defines what it is like to find your home with your loved one. Yu and Kay have their ups and downs, but Haven shows that love conquers all hardships. The game is about exploring and finding new places, and of course being free to love whoever you want. Like all relationships the game isn’t perfect, but it successfully presents a warm and powerful narrative that demonstrates an adult relationship with characters that we can all relate to.

    With a heaping of exploration, a pinch of turn-based JRPG and wonderful visual novel finish, Haven takes its varied inspirations and bakes them into something sweet, layered and extremely satisfying.
