When all is said and done, what sells Haven is its characters. If a deep rich character-driven narrative that centers around two exceptionally realized characters is something you believe is worth a few gameplay hiccups to experience then this game is worth every second of your time. It’s characters deliver in every way I could ask for. Crafting a tale that was the most emotionally impactful gaming experience I’ve had since I played Sea of Solitude last year. And to put a little perspective here, that was my game of the year last year. And while its gameplay shortcomings keep it from quite rea...

Traverse a fragmented alien world as a lovestruck couple and hunt down answers to the mysteries surrounding you in Haven, new from the developers of FURI. As you explore the planet and follow this mature and honest portrayal of their romantic relationship, do you have it in you to help them take control of their own destiny and protect each other from the sinister forces of the Apiary?

Haven is an adventure RPG about everyday love, rebelling against the rules and also, food.

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

When Furi first launched back in 2016 I was blown away by its high-octane, synthwave-infused, boss rush gameplay loop that was equal parts challenging as it was epic. After a long wait, their developer’s latest project is pretty much the exact opposite. Haven is more of a slow-burn RPG and I’m really happy with the results.

How far are you willing to go for the one that you love? The half visual novel, half role-playing game, Haven, all about a couple taking to the intergalactic skies, asks you this question and it asks it well. Throughout its time you’ll find yourself coming up with your own answers. A large part of it is thanks to how well you’ll get to know the partners as time goes on. Those threads begin as soon as its gorgeous, water coloured opening cinematic hits you. It’s clear that together, thes...

A love story for the space ages

Choosing correct responses increases the confidence of the characters and we learn a lot about how they think and feel.  This part of the game is incredibly well designed.  Emotion is conveyed very well and you soon start to like and feel for the couple.  In one section you are separated and set off to find a way back to each other and I genuinely felt a sense of separation and worry while searching for my partner.

From the very first moment I laid eyes on the stylish opening cinematic of Haven I was on board. A swirling watercolor musical number that could have easily

An RPG about an intergalactic love affair.

Dec 10, 2020

Haven is a game set on a beautiful world with lovable protagonists and compelling villains, but it suffers from frustrating design issues and the game ends on a flat note.

Dec 21, 2020

Built for local co-op with a significant other in mind, Haven is a pleasant experience with some severe narrative downfalls.
