Aven Colony

This game releases on XBOX1, PS4 and PC on July 25th. Anyone picking it up? Looks pretty cool IMO. Kind of reminds me of Cities Skylines meets Civilization.

The game has been out on Beta for awhile and people seem to be enjoying it.

I watched a good chunk of Arumba's gameplay. I think this will be fun. My only question... will the game keep me hooked or will it become too repetitive?

Thinking about it...it's on the birthday wish list :D

10% off on Xbox1. :up:

Pre-rderede on XBOX1 to get 10% off and played the game for several hours last night. Overall, it's a fun game.

PROS:
-the concept
-visuals
-sound
-campaign and sandbox modes


CONS:
-not enough building options
-extremely limited trade options
-small map size

As of right now, I am still concerned about replay ability but right now I feel this is a solid 7.5/10

I agree with most of these. The Polygon review was a little harsh though IMO.

To me the consensus on the reviews was it was more of a chore to play than fun.
