In ways Haven is the yang to Furi's yin. While Furi focused on visceral combat with light character development, Haven is all about the romance between its two lead characters with combat as a supplementary element.

The chemistry between the two leads is definitely the strong point for me. Yu and Kay are such fleshed-out and lovable characters that it's easy to understand and care about these people as they struggle to maintain their relationship against all odds. Additionally, the combat being easier when properly using both characters in sync only further reinforce their connection and need for each other.

With most of the gameplay being light exploration, I feel that there was room to tighten up the game and make it feel less like filler. Additionally, I wish they challenged Yu and Kay's relationship more, as the best moments of the game involved their relationships struggles. It feels like wasted potential.

In the end, a solid if unbalanced entry that I see myself replaying.
