It would have worked better had the game allowed you to switch from any of these game styles at will. I think that was the original idea, but sadly it all turns out overly scripted and directed.

The biggest problem here is how tedious some of the objectives can be, but the story is interesting enough to keep you playing, and it's a decently long experience as well.

With a bit more polish, the gameplay in Haven: Call of the King could have matched the brilliant ideas that fueled the game's creation.

I have tried to like this game, and played it recently after avoiding it for more than 10 years, butI still end up hatign it. What starts off as a convincing intro with the planet and stars and stirring music behind the games main title, quickly disintegrates into a cringeworthy yawn-fest that its hard to believe you are playing a game so shoddy. And this is before the second cutscene has even ended! Then gameplay wise, its okkkaaaaayyyy but nothing that stands out or is **** fact, its just as moronic as the cutscenes tbh. The graphics should really have been top notch, seen as its Travellers Tales, but hey **** only a 2002 game. Lastly, even though I gave up (again) after about an hour or so of gameplay, I have been told the ending is a bit of a cliffhanger, and to date there has beemn no **** why bother playing a dumb game only for it to end on a bum note? And no further adventures of Mr Numbskull (thankfully).

A spectacular, inventive, wondrous adventure. The lead is a bit of an odd-ball, but everything else is the stuff of dreams. [Jan 2003, p.68]

The free-form style of play keeps things fresh but don’t go into this one expecting to be blown away.

Not a good game, but not a bad game either. The game has it fair share of highs, but a lot of lows

At certain points it's great, but at others it can be either frustrating or very boring.

In the attempt to be all things for all kinds of gamer, each little mode lacks polish. [Jan 2003, p.173]

Haven tries to go in several directions at once. Alas, rather than excelling, it ends up doing a fairly mediocre job of almost everything.

So-so platform elements. [Feb 2003, p.43]
