  • gameplay
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally well-received for its engaging mechanics and appealing visuals, offering a mix of resource management, exploration, and city-building elements. However, players have noted a lack of guidance and tutorials, which could enhance the experience, and some feel that the gameplay loop may become repetitive without additional automation features. Overall, while the game shows potential and provides a relaxing experience, it may require further development to fully realize its capabilities.

    • “The gameplay is easy to grasp and the visuals are pleasing.”
    • “The gameplay is simple yet engaging, and the graphics are cute.”
    • “The graphics are simply amazing, and the gameplay makes you immerse yourself in the world of the game for hours.”
    • “I'm a little surprised to see that none of the reviews thus far have pointed out the lack of guidance in the gameplay.”
    • “It's a very mildly narrative game with an incidental gameplay loop of clicking on stuff every time something breaks, you need more of a specific resource, or you need to research something.”
    • “Even the core rehabilitation mechanics are almost entirely hands-off; after basic enclosure setup, every issue that arises is solved in one or two clicks.”
  • monetization
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of "Fantastic Haven" has been criticized for being misleading, as it primarily functions as an advertisement rather than a complete game. Players feel deceived by the presentation of demos and ads as full games, which detracts from genuine developers and misleads consumers. Additionally, the presence of suspicious reviews and marketing tactics raises concerns about the integrity of the game's promotion.

    • “We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement.”
    • “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
    • “It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers; you deserve better than adverts.”
  • optimization
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is widely criticized, with players reporting persistent performance issues and lag, even after patches. Despite its promising concept and visual appeal, the game struggles to run smoothly, leading to a frustrating experience for users. Significant optimization work is needed to improve its performance.

    • “The idea is great, but the game still needs optimization.”
    • “The concept of the game is great, but it needs significant optimization and a lot of work.”
    • “The main issue of this demo is its performance; it's terrible. The map seems like a rather small fragment, yet it works so slow and laggy. It's not properly optimized.”
    • “The performance is bad even after patches addressing performance; it's quite badly optimized.”
    • “The fantasy setting has potential, but right now it has terrible performance.”
  • music
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally praised for its relaxing and pleasant qualities, enhancing the overall experience alongside the beautiful visuals. However, some players feel that the music could benefit from additional options and that the game can feel silent without it. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a strong point, contributing to the game's addictive nature and captivating atmosphere.

    • “I do enjoy the music and the visuals; that's pretty relaxing overall.”
    • “The graphics in this game are beautiful, and the music is incredibly relaxing.”
    • “I love the art style, and the music is super chilled and relaxing.”
    • “With no music, the game is quite silent; I only hear the occasional footstep.”
    • “It's just my preference, but the music doesn't provide any relaxing nuance.”
    • “I hope to see additional background music options and sound effects for placing water, trees, or feeding the rescued creatures.”
  • stability
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is described as having significant stability issues, with numerous bugs and glitches affecting gameplay, such as camera sensitivity problems and creatures not functioning as intended. While some players find the game enjoyable despite these issues, the overall consensus is that it feels buggy and clunky, indicating a need for further refinement.

    • “There are still glitches, such as the golems randomly refusing to refill the feeder.”
    • “Though there are a few glitches or bugs to do with the creatures drifting across the map or their bars not filling even though the requirements are met.”
    • “Has potential but right now is a buggy clunky mess.”
  • story
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is described as simple and easy to follow, with some users noting that it feels more like a city-building simulator with minor quests rather than a compelling narrative focused on wildlife conservation. While the adventure and crafting elements add fun, many reviewers feel that the plot is underdeveloped, especially for a prologue, leaving them wanting a more substantial storyline. Overall, the engaging creature mechanics and graphics are overshadowed by a lack of depth in the narrative.

    • “The creatures are interesting and very much work like a zoo sim; the adventure aspect keeps the game fun with a storyline, and the crafting aspect keeps things moving nicely.”
    • “The storyline is easy to follow.”
    • “With an easy and understandable plot and controls.”
    • “It didn't really seem to have much of a plot either to me.”
    • “That again could be because it is a 'prologue,' but I figured 'prologue' would mean we would get some story.”
    • “This feels more like a city-building game with a small side quest to take care of some monsters - not a zoo/sanctuary that is actually saving some fantasy-based wildlife.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is highly praised for its soothing quality and impressive graphics, which significantly enhance the overall experience, particularly in the building simulator genre. Reviewers consistently highlight the game's ability to create an engaging and immersive environment.

    • “It's sure a game with nice graphics and a soothing atmosphere, which I think is very important for games in this genre.”
    • “It's an amazing atmosphere.”
    • “Great building simulator with excellent graphics and atmosphere.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, focusing more on repetitive clicking and resource management rather than engaging with the creatures themselves. The gameplay often revolves around balancing numerous supplies and upgrades, which can detract from the overall experience.

    • “On the bad side, the game has a bunch of tedious clicking and management (remaking golems, food, curing diseases).”
    • “The demo is a lot less about the creatures and a lot more about tedious balancing of a huge array of supplies and order of upgrades to accomplish tasks.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a variety of humorous mythical creatures, including golems and quirky flying animals, contributing to its lighthearted and whimsical atmosphere. Players appreciate the charm and comedic elements brought by these cute characters in the fantasy setting.

    • “This game is full of funny mythical creatures, such as golems and strange flying creatures.”
    • “Funny cute little animals in the fantasy world.”
