Aven Colony Reviews
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 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.
It has been a real joy playing 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.
One of the best build em ups!
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.
Aven Colony is a nice alternative to Cities: Skylines and a well made city builder. Even when it gets boring or repetitive it's still a nice game.

It's as absorbing as it is relaxing, and it does a good job at bringing its own to the table whilst still retaining what makes city builders fun and challenging.
Aven Colony is a good city builder. The overall experience is great and has a tendency to make us addicted. Its accessibility, its huge quantity of statistics and buildings allow the title to shine in a kind of games which has been already seen many times. The only problem is the lack of challenge that could scare the most skilled gamers, when you look at the lifetime of the campaign mode. However, Aven Colony has many qualities and a good potential. To try it is simply to adopt it.

All in all, Aven Colony is a blast. Planning out the best places to put your facilities in order to keep most people happy is both fun and absorbing. Surprisingly simple to learn, the game makes it easy to quickly get in the groove of building and splashes of humor keep you smiling.
Aven Colony strikes a superb balance of introducing its systems and giving one enough freedom to live and learn.
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.
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 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.
The final version does not differ from the preview, all of the same pros and cons, the buildings remained less informative, although the musical accompaniment impressed me more in the release version.

Aven Colony is a solid, enjoyable city builder with a number of interesting and difficult mechanics that will make or break the experience depending on whether you're looking for a peaceful builder (Sim City) or enjoy the occasional challenge (Banished).
As a seasoned city-builder, Aven Colony is a solid game that has translated remarkably well to the PlayStation 4.It's incredibly fun and challenging and optimising your colony to no end will keep you entertained.
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.

One of the best SimCity clones on consoles, whose streamlined gameplay is accessible if not necessarily very original.
The first impressions of Aven Colony are great, as you build your first colony, finding your way on this alien world. It doesn't take too long before you start to see the limitations, whether by design or by mistake, leaving this as a city builder that's easy to pick up and play, but one that could do with a little more depth.
