Haven - selected reviews

According to reviewers, Haven is a successful production. Unfortunately, in some areas, the game is a bit too repetitive. Experts appreciate the well-portraited pair of protagonists, charming setting and solidly designed mechanics. At the same time, some people indicate that the production is a bit repetitive, sometimes boring and certainly will not revolutionize the RPG genre.

"Haven is a charming and unusual sci-fi RPG about love prevailing above all else, although between its thrilling gravity boot rides and respectable combat are long spans of monotonous resource gathering and clean-up," writes Kyle Campbell from IGN.

"Haven finds a groove in its exploration and character-building, but the combat and big narrative beats throw it off," Joe Juba, Game Informer.

"The endearing love story and vibrant art style of Haven can't save it from being a derivative and forgettable RPG adventure," Camilo Olmedo, DualShockers.
