Aven Colony

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.
