Space Haven is the newest ship-building colony manager from Bugbyte, and they were kind enough to hook me up with a copy to check out. This one is a hard one for me to review. On one hand, I love the concept; on the other hand, I am so bad at the game. This isn’t the game’s fault, the game; there is a VERY extensive tutorial. I know, as a reviewer, I am not supposed to admit to any of this. There is probably some special place in reviewer hell I will go to, or a list I get added to where IGN or Game Informer will never hire me. Spoiler alert, that was never going to happen anyway.

The general idea is this: you build a ship as your people attempt to find a new world to live. Now this can be one large ship, or a series of small ships if you want. I won’t lie, there may be an advantage to one over the other, but my people keep dying. Once from a lack of oxygen, once from a lack of food. Pretty sure they just killed themselves once because they didn’t want to live with me anymore, but I can’t prove that one.

Jokes aside, my only real complaint about the game is that the only true mission of the game is to find Eden; everything else is more or less the same thing over and over again as you jump between systems. The good news? This is more than enough for most people. Proven by the fact that the game is sitting at very positive reviews on Steam with over 5000 reviews. My lack of skill aside, it is still an 8/10 title. Just be prepared for a long but needed tutorial. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
