Aven Colony - The Cerulean Vale

7 / 10

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.

80 / 100

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 capable sci-fi city-builder with great visuals and satisfying gameplay systems.
