I Focus on the Negatives More

The game overall is modestly decent. It gives you a lot to do at first, but the experience can be quickly picked up in the first hour or two. The campaign mode can seem pretty short, but each of those maps took me roughly 3 hours or more to complete. While I like the concept of its research, the entire list requires going through the same things each time. I would have preferred stronger techs for the expedition ships, and perhaps, the expedition ships should have proved a better asset. The focus, of course, directs toward the beauty of the city and the systems used in successfully keeping it together. Unfortunately, once I found a prosperous route to starting a city, all maps played nearly the same. The "normal" difficulty appeared more like "easy mode". On that level, barely any challenge existed. The Campaign also poses with a weak story-line. Despite all this negativity from me, it has many positives to counter those. I do wish it had a more random style of presenting challenges and maybe some variety to the voice acting, especially for "referendums". Still, I would vote this game as a solid buy when on sale if you like the idea of managing a colony. I do rate it 4 stars, because in my mind, it is an expansion away from awesomeness.

Besser als sein Ruf

Ich habe lange gezögert, diese Spiel zu kaufen, weil die Bewertungen sehr gemischt ausfallen. Aber es hat sich mal wieder gezeigt, dass man nicht viel darauf geben kann, ob anderen ein Spiel gefällt oder nicht. Und da häufig geurteilt wird, dass Anno und Banished besser sind: Das ist der berühmte Äpfel-und Birnen-Vergleich. Ob Anno, Banished, Siedler, Foundation, Medieval Dynasty oder Aven Colony: Jedes hat andere Schwerpunkte, Stärken und Schwächen und das ist auch gut so. So findet jeder etwas und es gibt auch so komische Leute wie mich, die alle diese Spiele mögen. Aven Colony bietet eine Kampagne, die in verschiedene Aspekte des Spiels einführt. Am Anfang geht das noch locker flockig von der Hand, aber je größer die Siedlung wird, desto mehr Aspekte müssen beachtet werden. Ich spiele auf normal und finde auf diesem Schwierigkeitsgrad das Verhältnis von Verwaltung und Ausbau durchaus ausgewogen. Man muss schon vieles bedenken, damit die Siedlung gedeiht und der Nachschub an Siedlern und den essentiell wichtigen Naniten nicht stoppt. Man ist aber auch nicht nur mit Mikromanagement beschäftigt und das gefällt mir als "Schönbauerin", die gerne die Effizienz vernachlässigt, wenn es dann besser aussieht. Wer ungeduldig ist, kann das Spiel beschleunigen, es gibt 8 Geschwindigkeitsstufen und eine Pausentaste, die es ermöglicht, das weitere Vorgehen in Ruhe zu planen. Zusammen mit den 6 Schwierigkeitsstufen sollten da sowohl Anfänger als auch erfahrene Spieler die richtigen Einstellungen finden. Ich spiele nun nach der Kampagne das freie Spiel, da kann man ganz nach Gusto wählen, wieviele Ressourcen zur Verfügung stehen, wie ausgeprägt die Naturereignisse sind und so weiter. Es ist also alles drin von Krisenmanagment bis gemütliches vor sich hin Bauen. Da werden noch viele Stunden Spielspaß drin sein. Fazit: Wer gerne baut und die SciFi-Optik mag sollte zugreifen und sich selber ein Urteil bilden.

Falls short

The good: The game is beautiful. The bad: Trying to play it. This game has potential but it isn't quite polished enough. Once something goes wrong it's basically impossible to fix the issue and everyone will die. The AI needs work, you can't micro manage people to go to buildings that are required to fix the issue. You can SORT OF micro manage by turning off non-essential buildings, but you can't turn buildings off unless you have ample stored battery power for some reason. Even pausing the game or turning it to 1x speed doesn't afford you the opportunity to save yourself from whatever issue cropped up. You are also inundated with messages that pop up and interrupt the game play, as well as messages stacked on the right side of the screen. By the time you realize you have an issue, good luck figuring out exactly what the cause was. Power issues cause everything to stop; food production, water production, resource production. One message I haven’t seen yet though is that a mine is running out or did run out. I have a couple of times been caught with no resources coming in and no building materials to get another mine going. Every so many days there is a vote and if you get voted out due to low morale you lose. I have tried not building tunnels and only atriums, and plenty of VR buildings around, and morale still suffers immensely with a higher population. The automated action of harvesting resources and turning them into building materials is incredibly slow. If you speed the game up to a reasonable pace then you are dealing with disasters every 15 seconds. Every day buildings get damaged and need repaired, and the auto-repair option that is unlocked taxes you to turn it on, which may be harmful to your progress given how slow resource and building material accumulation is. The devs should look to something like starcraft for a good pace of resources to action. At 1x it is painfully slow. at 8x it is painfully eventful. Very tedious, just on normal difficulty.

Simple but focused mechanics

This game speaks to the part of me that enjoyed the thematic City Builders of old, such as the Sierra historic titles. It sticks with a few basic mechanics and, for the most part, does them well. I'm giving it 4 stars, instead of five because although it doesn't fall into the trap of being overcomplicated or lacking direction, certain aspects feel a little underdeveloped. For example, I'd have liked to have seen localised resource management, so it matters more where you put your storage and production buildings. Regardless of whether I'm giving it 4 or 5 stars, if you enjoyed the old simple and relaxed City Builders then you're probably going to enjoy this game.

Beautiful, but not deep

I enjoyed playing Aven Colony, but didn't keep it installed the way I have some other builders. There's a lot to love here — good variety, replayability, and plenty of effort put into onboarding new players to the game and to the genre. I would have liked to see more choice, though. Generally in builders, there is a focus on breadth or depth, where verticality represents options and complexity (SimCity, Skylines), and breadth represents choice and replayability (Civ, ANNO). Think also the difference between city builders and empire builders. With Aven Colony, the maps are small, there are not many structures, and variation is not very rewarding. There is a lot of fun playing through the campaign — which I almost never say — and playing through the maps. Unfortunately, once that's done, I didn't have a great feel for where to go. Overall, a good investment for someone new, someone not looking to fiddle much, or spend more than a hundred hours in a sim or builder game.
