Haven

I am so terribly sorry... But I cannot recommend this game with good conscience. I loved the story, and only for the story did I force myself to finish this game. But... If I wanted merely a story, I would read a book/watch a movie/listen to an audiobook/etc. But. You cannot really enjoy a game if the gameplay is tedious. The mechanics of flow drifting are fun, sure, but they get old pretty soon. I got invested in those characters and wanted to witness the ending myself, but... God, am I tired of those exploration regions that looked mostly the same (things to neutralise, things to attack, flow lines that I have to drift or I will be stuck on that islet). I know there are still things I probably haven't seen there, but... I simply couldn't be bothered. I wasted so much time trying to find That One Special LineTM that would take me to another region. There is a map, sure, but the environments don't exactly make it easy in terms of points of interest. Enemy encounters are the weakest part of this game, QTE were fine only when I boosted myself almost at the endgame... Loading the moves without any buffs was excruciatingly long. Many things in this game could be faster, actually. Why do I have to watch the same cutscene twice? Let me skip it. I know this game has that function in some upgrade-focused scenes that occur only once. Those I did not skip. Like, ever. But what kind of relevance brings an animation of tinkering at a crafting table? Do I really have to watch it five times? Especially when I am getting everything in bulk? Sorry I got so emotional over something that minuscule, but come on. I do like slow, low-stakes, cosy games, but if they give me a feeling that I am wasting time, something must have gone wrong.

I bought this game just to review it. This is possibly the game I am most passionate about. There are so few good games that showcase a relationship that feels at all real. I played this with my partner and the impact it left on me has not faded to this day. Absolutely beautiful game, play it.

I realize that one's opinion on the romance that forms the narrative core of Haven will depend on their personal lived experience, but I rather liked this one. The VAs do a splendid job selling the pleasingly-dynamic relationship of these 20-somethings (though it is a shame that the same-sex options have an audibly worse recording quality). The combat I am less high on; it just got tedious and more at odds with the chill vibes of the game the deeper I got. Still, I wouldn't sleep on this one.

Fantastic game, would play again. Story rich, great voice acting and gameplay is very easy to learn and understand

The characters feel cheesy and there is not much interesting gameplay going on. It is a cute relationship and the art and soundtrack are great, but I found it difficult to get engaged with the game.

I really enjoyed Haven. I think the artistic creativity is great. I also really enjoyed the overall story and the fact that you have multiple gender choices for the main characters! :) Highly Recommend, I 100 percented it because I enjoyed it that much!

A nice little game with beautiful landscapes and truly great music. The characters are also lovely, with nice alchemy and believable romance. From what I've heard, not great as a coop game but for me, the biggest downside is the lack of French dub despite being made by a French company.

I'm usually not a big fan of exploration games, so I mainly play this game for the lovestory between Kay and Yu. And damn, it's worth it.

Its a cute fun game. Wether your playing with somebody else or by yourself. I'm still in the beginning of the game and i'm curious how the story will go.

got it on sale but this game was absolutely beautiful. beautiful story beautiful art just overall great experience. i played solo and im single so it made me feel like i was third wheeling but its okay im a certified third wheel. yu and kay’s relationship is wholesome and i love them and i loved this game 10/10 5 stars just perfect

good game, it's fun and chilling, cool soundtracks. Lovable story, i liked both characters; it's a game more focused about the 2 main characters relationship than a ''fighting game'', but it gots some actions and the exploring was likable. 7/10

Nice cozy game, loved the fighting mechanic as well. Didn't feel super turn basey. Story was great, Even though it was basic the characters made it great.

i find this game to be enjoyable and very relaxing. i enjoy watching the couples relationship progress and how they banter with each other. the graphics are gorgeous and the music is light and soothing. this is a good wind down game from a long or stressful day.

Was really excited to play this game tho sadly let down by how there is no online coop though steam servers like pretty much every other coop game. Uses either local coop split screen or Steams remote play together (Of which was legit getting 2 frames and couldnt play at all) Just very sadge to see such a good looking coop game not have an actual online play mode.

Saw this advertised as a game for long distance couples online so bought without reading any of the reviews, quickly finding out that this was not for long distance players. Sucks that its local only. We couldn't get the remote play to work once.

I am sure this is a great game but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to play remotely with my partner. Only bought to play with them and because this game has no in built way to play together across devices, the whole process of trying has been infuriating and led to no success. Absolutely ridiculous that this is clearly made as a co-op game and yet playing co-op is a technical nightmare.

Couple goals in a nutshell. The fact a kiss heals them means they took "Healthy Relationship" Literally.

Unfortunately I got this game along with my partner to hopefully have a cute game we could play, however it doesn't allow two keyboards for co-op play and if there is another way to start it other than sending an invite through steam we couldn't figure it out. I'm guessing that even if there was another way to play together it wouldn't fix things. We were both really excited to play it together and now I'm severely unmotivated to try again. on top of this while the intro is really pretty the bright flashing colors triggered a headache and I'm concerned they could cause a seizure so do be warned. On the bright side the graphics and soundtrack are pretty and the dialog seems nice. I might update this as we try and find a work around or if I get back into the game for solo.

i like this game a lot
