Obviously it depends on the game. However if you do not plan to make a straight-forward game or do not have to be fast, I highly recommend the combination SDL2 + OpenGL. It just works.
- you find tons of documentation
- you will run anywhere (that is obviously not trivial)
In particular if you are going 2D you can skip OpenGL if speed is not a problem (yet).
You then just write a small C-kernel which provides the main functionality and explore Haskell's FFI.
