    A flagrant A Short Hike clone that’s nonetheless enjoyable, chill and fun. It’s not as refined or slick or smart or funny or playable as A Short Hike, but it’s still fun. It’s hard to copy an all-time indie classic, even if it’s a tiny three-hour one. :)

    I was really disappointed with this game after reading all the positive reviews. The music is very unremarkable, the story is basically non-existent, and the gameplay gets stale very fast as the decorating options are incredibly limited. The movement also felt very sluggish.

Additionally, I didn't feel like it was very relaxing because I kept getting lost, as the map doesn't show the player's current location. If you can get it for free or for like a buck, give it a go, but I wouldn't recommend spending more than that on it.… Expand

    Haven Park isn’t going to make you forget its influences – and you should definitely play those other games before playing this one, since they’re both much better – but it’s still enjoyable enough that if you’ve got a few hours to spare and want to play something charming and wholesome, it’ll do the trick.

    Haven Park is the kind of game that will completely absorb you until several hours have passed and, suddenly, you’ve beaten the game! The story is warm and fuzzy and bittersweet, and if you’re a fan of a quaint, relaxing game don’t hesitate to put this one in your collection.

    Honestly, I struggle to find criticism for Haven Park. Is it the most stunning, groundbreaking game you’ll ever play? No, but it doesn’t need to be. While it feels like it draws some inspiration from the Animal Crossing series, it remains its own separate entity with its own identity. For a game about walking and fixing up campsites, it’s short, sweet, beautiful, and even at times, moving. It left me wishing for more, but in the best way possible.
