![]() ![]() You either engage with impact (a close quarters attack), blast (a long range attack), shield (defensive maneuver), and pacify (to release the creature back into the wild). Once you end up fighting some of the aggressive fauna affected by the rust, you’ll engage in turn-based combat reminiscent of active time battles. It takes 5-10 minutes to circumnavigate said floating islands. The autosave and loading function got repetitive fast as the islets are relatively medium-sized. Traversing through Flow Bridges that connect the different islets on the planet, you’ll collect rust and ship parts salvaged from an unspecified civilization that attempted to colonize the planet. ![]() I started to show signs of interest halfway into the second hour of Haven, when you’re on a fetch quest to find parts and components to fix their ship. At least now, I can focus on the excellent synthwave soundtrack which immerses me in the Flow Drift, which comprises most of your exploration. I get to read their dialogue with a non-specified voice in my head at my preferred speed (note: lightning fast) and it became bearable. My workaround to actually withstand the repetitive cringe-worthy dialogue is to completely switch off the voice volume. I actually started playing Nioh to get away from them, and I hate Souls-like games. For a title that spans between 11-13 hours to complete, you take almost a tenth of that to listen to sweet nothings. Nope, we’re going to fill our Flow Engine and look for more apple dews! It takes forty-five minutes from the opening animation before an interesting event actually happens. Could we get space pirates, a cosmic event, or an actual fight to shake it up? They interchange between groan-worthy banter and too much positive reinforcement, it really feels like that they just started their relationship. For others, get ready to roll your eyes.įor the first hour of the game, depending if you listen to the actual dialogue, they will drone on and on about their being a couple. For some, they will be relatable and endearing. I know they’re not under the scrutiny of their society, but there are some dialogue options that is so cringe-inducing that is more awkward than the actual fact that their vessel probably smells like oxytocin and love spunk. New couples can get insufferable and we get to bear witness to every event. It’s not about their zero animal byproduct lifestyle, nor their rebellion against their corporate owned planet, it’s simply the fact that they’re a relatively new couple. It All Depends Whether You Like The Couple They’re 80% of the reason why you’ll love or hate Haven. I’d say don’t mind the rust that’s covering the planet, but wait until you hear about the couple. The sights on the Planet Source is quite fantastic with hand painted flying rocks and interesting fauna lurking about. Was this third wheel outing memorable? I can’t really say much about the food, as they mostly consist of apple dews and boba nuts. However, since it is the time of pandemic and doing anything on Zoom really isn’t my thing, I decided to hang out with this nice couple, Yu and Kay from the game Haven, an indie title from The Game Bakers.Īs for the general heteronormative public engaging in this co-dependent behavior of doing everything together, Haven has been marketed as an easily accessible title couples can enjoy on couch co-op. For myself, I try to get a semblance of a social life. Single people like myself either find Valentine’s Day dates or join our favorite couple as a third wheel to enjoy the festivities, if you’re into that kind of thing.
