Very enjoyable!

I had never heard of this game before playing it. Since buying it, it has been one of my main games to play. Despite the struggles of establishing a new colony in a particular region (usually Sandy Gulch) and having the colonists die, it is still an enjoyable experience. It is like a futuristic version of SimCity (not the pitiful remake's expansion). I've downloaded the soundtrack and love it as much. I even listen to it when I'm working. Highly recommend!

Interesting game, but bad performance

Starting with a couple solar cells and a farm. Expanding your colony through mining, trade, milling, reserach (albeit not much), chemical creation... Creating a small buzzing city with fusion-like generators, skyscrapers and plasma cannons. You have not only have to feed everyone but also provide for safety agains crime and alien spores, make sure the oxygen levels are fine, provide consumer goods and (some) entertainment and later on you can expand outside your colony using 2 bigs ships for short "sidequests" (dialog) and creating mini-colonies that support yours. There some nice mechanics, but unfortunately some downs, too.. * The main issue on my rig is the very low performance. It does not start good, even on reduces settings FPS are quite low and the game itself feels always sort of sluggish, even after playing with the settings a lot. This increases with the population which you will increase for the missions; 300+ and the game really starts to lag around. Both can be found in many forums, where some people have a decent performance, while many others struggle to get 20fps even on high-end gaming rigs. Unfortunately sounds just like really bad optimizing so far * Quests throughout the level are usually "get X" or build "Y". This is fine for the first tutorial level, but as soon as you know what you are doing it is not really helping, as sometimes you have to build a lower level tech building even though you have the better one already * There is also not (yet?) a real challenge. While Colonizing Mars had different late game catastrophies and different faction traits you could use, here you only have a single perk as a difference, that's it. Missions try to make you build differently (i.e. one ice level where you have to mostly rely on trading), but in general that is still nothing challenging TL:DR Some neat features, mid-level graphics. Content and difficulty wise it could use some extras. Unfortunately the performance issue is killing it for me.

Good colony builder

Nice one. Obviously a bit repetetive but you get different biomes so I am good. Till now everything is available from the start and you can experiment. But you also have a quick-goal based narrator where you get incentives to build certain stuff. Apart from a crash right at the start no difficulties so far. The messages are a bit nagging sometimes. Some stuff you would like to have more control over, like new arrivals or shut down buildings. This game is no longer developed.

Very impressive alien city builder

I went into this with cautious optimism based on the average Steam reviews. It was clear to me after not even an hour that this game is awesome. Perhaps it has seen tremendous improvement with updates, as that might explain the Steam reviews. Either way, the visuals are impressive, your alien cities look really cool if you plan them properly, there is a wide variety of buildings, the game feels polished and the scale of everything, if you zoom in, is probably the most realistic I've yet seen in a game like this. The bottom line is that if building plausibly futuristic cities on alien planets sounds like a good time to you, then you'll have a great time with Aven.

Brilliant Sim Simular Outpost 2

For years I have been looking for a replacement of sorts for the Outpost series (Outpost 2 in particular). It had a very niche premise, but I spent many hours playing it. I think that Aven Colony brilliantly fits that niche. I purchased this in a summer sale packet, along with Colonizing Mars and Stellaris. Of the three, I much preferred Aven Colony. It is not terribly difficult, but I find that I enjoy that more. It is quite zen, spending much of your time optimising your colony, making incremental upgrades. I have not played the campaign yet, as I prefer to just hop straight into a game like this. Playing on challenge mode I have spend the last couple days building up a massive colony. It has been the most fun I have had in a game in a long time! The great visuals and soundtrack, along with the colonist and creature ambience, really add to the experience.
