Haven Reviews

It was super fun, really laid back and the art was just absolutely beautiful and stunning

Very good game with an amazing story! Looking forward to playing with my partner now that I've finished an initial playthrough.

9/10. Fantastic story, characters, music, dialogue, and voice acting. Minor repetitive gameplay

Recently Replayed the game after a long time so I'll make two paragraphs, one for my preliminary experience and the other for returning experience. I don't remember why I bought that game, perhaps I was bored, looking for co-op games, or maybe just looking for a good RPG and i found this game. It didn't look to deep from the screenshots and videos so If i didn't enjoy it I would just refund it. At first the characters didn't really mesh much to me, but that was easily do to not having the background experience. All I knew was that they were running from a system that kept them trapped in a specific group parings. As I playied the game more I started playing for the story more than the actual game play. The story felt real, like these are real people having real troubles in their life's. Not some clingy visual novel wish fulfillment crap. Yeah the gameplay is boring, Co-Op is just one person leading and the other being dragged along, yeah the combat is just doing a pattern over and over again. But that didn't matter to me anymore. I enjoyed these characters, and every choice I made with these characters made me FEEL something. It was one of the only games that actually made me reflect on my own relationships and caused me to slightly change myself to be a better partner. While it isn't a good GAME, is a a great EXPERIENCE that you should atleast give a try. Coming back to the game after a few years, while all of my comments are mostly the same. I did figured that the Co-op "Issue" is a bit more in-depth than when I was first playing solo. Since when I was playing solo, I never really had to give up control, the characters always went wherever I wanted them to go. But life never works like that, sometimes you will have to let your partner lead when they wish to. What relationship do you know where only one person is always in control and the other person simply just follows behind them all the time. Being a leader takes alot of work and if you are always leading all the time. At some point you will want to take a break. In fairness most I wouldn't expect anyone to think of a game with a Co-op tag would be a metaphor of how relationships works in the game and IRL. I'm not going to "Not Recommend" this game over something as small as that.

Very cool game! I wanna point out features I liked the most. 1. Chemistry. Our couple very lovey-dovey, but not ideal. They can fight or disagree with something. It looks so natural and I love it. 2. Map awareness. No pointers, no "to do list". You got a ship to repair, several islands - go and explore. Nothing lead you or show the way. That's kinda old school. UPD: Yeah, later you can craft map, but still... xD

Lovely story, simple-yet-unique combat and a killer soundtrack. Looking forward to Cairn now!

Amazing game that covers a nice story. The game doesn't have difficult mechanics and a nice change to the fast pace shooters we see today. I absolutely recommend this title and look forward to future projects from this developer.

This game is really cute! The 3d models are a little weird but that doesn’t affect the game play in anyway.

Okay....I don't really know where to start with this so I'm going to start with the gameplay. Gameplay: It's fun for the most part the movement system is fun to use, if not a bit wonky from time to time, but that is forgivable with how it makes you feel surfing across the land doing tricks as you jump from high places and grind along floating lines of power. (I do wish you had some control of your tricks but hay it is what it is) Story: Story is cute as you play through the came there are fun little interactions between the two lovers that make you smile. The relationship your building as you play and make choices feels alive and I appreciate this. Endings (NO SPOILERS): So this game has the classic Good/Bad ending setup but this is why I felt the need to wright this review and this is also why this review will get a bit personal. IO have recently been dealing with depression, and one of the ways I deal with that is romance Games, Movies, Anime, Books, Ect. The romance and generally GOOD feelings in them help pull me out of the emotions and immerse me in better ones. That's why I picked up this game up because I was (and unfortunately still am) in a pretty bad spot with my emotions at the time. Playing through the game I thought I was going to get what I was looking for Will the fun little interactions and good interactions between the two lovers making me feel better as I played. Now when I play games with multiple ending I tend to go for the bad ending first so I can reload a save and end on a good note and the good ending tends to be the last bit I know to help pull me out of whatever dark place I was in...Unfortunately the "Bad Ending" I thought I chose ended up being a VARY bitter sweet "Good Ending" instead. Now this last part was a bad decision on my end so my bad but after finding out what the good ending was I jumped and broke my rule and looked up the alternate ending and It was so bad that it (pulse having just lost that good feeling lifeline I was hoping for) made me almost physically ill. If your playing this game for the same reasons I was pleas turn back until your in a better place. If your not like me or are feeling better about your situation than pleas play the game and form your own opinion. As at the end of the day we are all different and will inevitably experience things differently as some my find these endings just fine. TLDR: Game was fun but a little janky and the story was fun and cute until both the endings ruined it for me personally.

I definitely recommend this game. It's not that hard, so you could just relax playing this game. The story is really cool. However, controls might be a little better. And I would like the game to be a little bigger. And it would be cool to have an ability to save the game at any time. 8/10
