A cute and simple A Short Hike and Animal Crossing hybrid that suffers because it tries to borrow a wee bit too much from the former.
The visual and thematic similarities to A Short Hike probably got it some purchases but they prevent Haven Park from standing on its own feet.
Haven Park does a worse job at every aspect it compares to A Short Hike.
The fixed camera hurts exploration and kills the nice vistas that are supposedly there.
The writing is simple and the characters aren't very interesting, though there are a few quests that rise above.
Progression is artificial, there's no climbing and floating and the map tend to lock you into specific lengthy trips.
On the other hand it does surpass Animal Crossing in a couple areas - building UX is streamlined and several of the structures are interactive which makes the world lively. My favourite bit was watching fireworks you placed at a beach going off in distant background when you're on mountain peak.
Fairly impressive for a one person show

Es un juego cozy para pasar el rato pero la verdad que es una re paja el estar dando vueltar 3 horas para conseguir materiales
A poor imitation of a A Short Hike. If you find yourself wanting a similar title to the aforementioned, Lil' Gator Game is a much better shout.
Un bel giochino in cui si fa ben poco, ma la voglia di vedere ogni angola di questo gigantesco parco naturale è un buon incentivo per giocare, anzi, per esplorare.
Haven Park is adorable, there are much worse indie games to rip o… er, homage than A Short Hike, and the blend of basic ASH-style open-world exploration with a very simple campsite management game is fun for an hour or two, but trudging around the map in search of additional resources or new campsites gets stale pretty quick, and there isn’t much else to do beyond that. Apparently, the minimalist map, lack of fast travel, and sparse signposting (mainly limited to a few literal signposts here and there) were deliberate design choices on the developer’s part, but that doesn’t mean I have to think they were good ideas.
Cute little game.
It's fine. Out of all the "A Short Hike-Likes", this one is the most blatantly inspired by it and probably tries to copy the style a bit too much.
Idk it's fun and short but the base-building is way too repetitive with too few structures to build. At the end I skipped past them all in order to progress the story instead.
