It’s a motif that’s perfectly captured in Haven’s battle system. As anyone who’s ever been in a relationship will attest, making a partnership work is all about finding the right rhythm – getting into the right flow of couple-y cadence. Yet even in its combat, this is a game about love and communication. Still, what’s love without hardship? In Haven, many of Yu and Kay’s fetch-quests or islet cleansing sprees are broken up by rumbles with rust-ravaged creatures. Combine that with the multitude of dialogue choices that make up 90% of conversations, and you soon feel just as invested in their relationship as Yu and Kay themselves. Position their anime-esque avatars close enough and our cutesy couple begins to hold hands as they glide across the planet’s surface. Leave our couple unintended long enough and the pair lean in for either a soft embrace or a passionate kiss ( healing the two players). Yet it's not just Yu and Kay’s conversations that keep you invested in their relationship. With barely any repeating dialogue, even nine hours in, Yu and Kay’s chatter would elicit chuckles from my partner and me. Much like an Annapurna joint, the writing here is sharp, funny, and human throughout, expertly brought to life through stellar performances from actors Janine Harouni and Chris Lew Kum Hoi.

With no one else around to help, it falls to Yu and Kay to crack on with the cleaning, as our charming couple set out to clear Haven’s interconnected ‘islets’ and ‘pacify’ its fiendish fauna. Our devoted duo soon discovers that the ruinous rust has enraged Haven’s once-friendly wildlife. Unsurprisingly, these weird glowing puddles aren’t exactly doing wonders for the planet. Marooned on the mysterious rock for reasons we won’t spoil, our stranded soulmates find their new home – ‘ Haven’ - engulfed by a sickly goo-like substance called rust. Whether you are playing in local co-op with a partner or experiencing this journey on your lonesome, a flick of the analog stick moves both Yu and Kay simultaneously, causing our loved-up protagonists to glide along the colorful planet’s surface. In fact, for the vast majority of its runtime, Yu and Kay are literally inseparable. Combining the soothing exploration of Thatgamecompany’s Journey with the turn-based combat of an old school JRPG, Haven’s gameplay mirrors the unbreakable bond of our cutesy couple. The names of our pixelized paramours? Yu and Kay.
