![]() While I spent the overwhelming majority of Haven’s roughly 15 hours in single-player, its creative local co-op mode etched out a decent chunk of my time, too. ![]() What's particularly fun about Yu and Kay's dynamic is either of them can take the lead: you can swap between them at any time, so choosing an expedition leader can be done in a snap. You'll play as the couple (yes, both of them), exploring this strange, semi-open world in search of food and materials for the Nest, a cutesy nickname for the lovebirds’ spaceship. It's beautiful but also a dangerous, untamed frontier full of thunderous mid-air collisions between floating mountains and hostile wildlife eager to give outsiders a good thrashing. ![]() Yu and her boyfriend Kay have been gallivanting about celestial bodies searching for a new home, eventually settling on Source, the stunning watercolor-pastel planet where Haven takes place. But every healthy relationship means being willing to put up with faults, and in Haven’s case that means turning a blind eye to long stretches of mandatory, monotonous resource gathering across barren landscapes.Haven sets itself apart from many other spacefaring tales by opening on what feels like the second act of a story (without being confusing, thankfully). And those highs hit that much harder in the brilliant co-op mode. Whether I was joyfully catching ethereal waves on anti-gravity boots, blitzing alien critters during exciting turn-based battles, or just zesting up meals, it was delightful witnessing its protagonists’ adorable relationship bleed into every activity. Haven weaves that affection into a beautiful science-fiction RPG about the misadventures of two star-crossed lovers. Support is essential in healthy relationships because no matter how turbulent shared lives can be, your partner is always there to offer a steady hand.
