It only fills in areas once you?ve discovered a new campsite, which means that it?s kind of useless for figuring out where you are if you?re in a new region of the island. The one drawback to the game ? apart from how much it borrows from those other two games mentioned above ? is that the map makes absolutely no sense. While these little finds don?t always necessarily impact the story in a meaningful way, they still give the island character and make it feel like Haven Park is more than just the gameplay loop mentioned above. While none of them are particularly difficult, they give you a reason to explore the island beyond simply gathering more resources.
The other neat thing is that there are a few puzzles to solve and treasures to uncover. As a few campers show up, you can add more, but the demands are never so great that you feel like you?re constantly in a cycle of resource-gathering and building. That involves wandering around an island and gathering resources, then stumbling across old camp sites and adding in all the conveniences you can build. Playing as a yellow bird named Flint, you?re trying to restore your grandma?s campground/park to its former glory. Which is unfortunate, because it?s a pretty delightful game, once you get past how liberally it borrows from those other games. Whatever Haven Park has going for it ? and it does have its fair share of good qualities ? having a distinctive identity isn?t one of those things.
Likewise, it?s a cute game about a bird going through some family stuff (while, again, exploring an island) ? but it?s not A Short Hike. It?s a game where you?re playing as an animal and sprucing up an island to make it more attractive to visitors ? but it?s not Animal Crossing. The problem with Haven Park is that it?s much too easy to think about it in terms of what it?s not.
