Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The set-up is there when it comes to this type of stuff, the soundtrack by veteran Chad Seiter welds nicely to the atmosphere, the story is told decently and there was some fun reaching new areas inside the town all the way to its far-seated caverns and ruins.

Haven is a nicely crafted locale and honestly the low-res textures and sometimes hazy visual quality suit the setting well.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Some technical nitpicks: I would get stuck inside of walls on several occasions in various parts of the game, and the controller support is not fully fleshed out -- I had to use a combination of my controller and pc mouse.
