Le Havre is one of my favorites. I like it most as a 2 or 3 player. Four tends to drag and five is out of the question. That's my take after about 40 plays.
I'm with you, but I feel even more strongly about it.
Ratings by player count:
1p= 6 (Feels more like practice for the game than a game.)
2p= 10 (You know what your opponent must do; they know what you must do. Massive tension as you plan turns ahead.)
3p= 7 (Nothing gained by the addition of a 3rd player except downtime. The ability to plan ahead is greatly diminished.)
4p= 5 (Ridiculously chaotic. A shadow of the 2p game.)
5p= 1 (unplayable)
LeHavre is the game that makes me wish BGG ratings were by player count for all games.
