Aven Colony Reviews
Aven Colony strikes a superb balance of introducing its systems and giving one enough freedom to live and learn.
Solid RTS about colonizing and managing alien planet. Striking a good balance between settlers' needs and colony's development is no easy task, but one which brings a lot of satisfaction.

Despite its variety and the occasional innovation, Aven's lack of threat and mediocre story make the game feel undercooked. It's a sold city builder that doesn't do enough with its premise to stand out.
Offering many hours of solid city building gameplay, with the potential to play from your couch and bringing to the table an actual campaign rather than just countless sandboxes, Aven Colony is an excellent little title, which we can particularly recommend for console players.
As players colonize a vastly different alien world with varying difficulties, the tediousness that usually comes with the genre is left behind
Aven Colony has the quality of a AAA city management simulation, all under the price tag of a sneaky indie hit. If you're a fan of the genre, it's a must have.
It has been a real joy playing Aven Colony.
If you're not already a fan of city-building games, this one will not win you over. To me, personally, it still feels more like doing work than playing a video game; I just didn't feel like I had any fun with it. I do see there are area's the developers put a lot of work in and the unique setting could very well be enough of a draw for fans of the genre to check this out.
Aven Colony is overall a very enjoyable game with a beautiful soundtrack, amazing voice acting, and a constantly evolving world. If you enjoy city building games, it is everything you'd expect.
Aven Colony makes for a prime example of how a game can transcend its genre and be fun whether or not you like other games like it. Showcasing detailed visuals, immersive voice acting, an engaging gameplay loop, and enough content to satisfy most players, this title has the potential to make a lasting impression on many gamers this year. If you enjoy city building games, you owe it to yourself to play Aven Colony.
Most city building games have over complicated menus and difficult to follow tutorials. Aven Colony changed all that. It's an excellent option on PlayStation 4 for fans of the genre, and a welcome addition to m collection.
Aven Colony is a game that definitely has a steep learning curve since there's a ton of things to learn and many actions you can take. But if you give it a chance and stick with it you'll find a fun city building sim/strategy game with many hours of content to complete that is worth a shot.
Aven Colony is an addictive city-building game set on a planet called Aven Prime, with a science-fiction twist. Growing a small colony into a massively sprawling cityscape is a very fulfilling experience, with plenty of hazards and obstacles along the way.
Overall, Aven Colony is easy to recommend partly because there's so little else like it on console but also because it's an excellent and engrossing example of the genre.
There really isn’t much to dislike about the wonderful world of Aven Prime, so if you are in need of a new city sim, then there will quite possibly be nothing better than heading to Aven Colony for a brand new space travelling adventure
Aven Colony has shaped itself up well with the other city-building game that are on the market today. It offers a Campaign mode with a good story line and an array of different objects to help mix it up a bit as well as having the sandbox mode that allows for endless, customisable fun.
Aven Colony bravely attempts to bring a PC-style sim to consoles and, for the most part, it succeeds. Controls and user-interface can make or break such a game, but while the controls are on-point, the performance isn't. The campaign isn't all that interesting from a story stand-point, and you'll need to up the difficulty to get a challenge out of it, but if you're a fan of city building sims then you'll find something to enjoy here.
Aven Colony is a good game. But it has a lot to improve on.
Lack of depth, average story and repetitive mission design makes Aven Colony a great looking, but bland city builder.
