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.
