Paid £2.50 on sale.
Basic but fun and relaxing. Most problems are either easy to solve or easy to anticipate.
On windows 11 not had any crashes.
Worth what I paid.

This is an OK game. I tried it long ago and I tried it again now.
But its as basic as it gets. I like it just fine enough.
Environments and background foliage are really pretty, but the buildings don't look varied or unique enough from each other. Its also all thrown at you in a veeery basic set of tutorial levels.
The menu and UI elements are somehow just outdated for even a 2017 release.
The game also has this really weird "blurry" filter.
If you have a colony building itch, there are just too many better alternatives out there.
But if this setting looks interesting and youre not looking for anything extraordinary, it'll do just fine.
I'd first recommend Surviving Mars and Before We Leave.

I’m genuinely surprised I hadn’t heard of Aven Colony sooner — it’s a beautifully crafted sci-fi city builder that deserves more attention than it seems to have received.
The graphics are gorgeous, with vibrant alien environments and excellent design work on buildings and UI elements. The interface took a little time to fully grasp, but once it clicks, it’s smooth and satisfying to use. What really impressed me is how fast the game loads — I can go from the main menu to playing my colony in just a couple of seconds. It’s refreshing in an era where loading screens seem to last forever.
The campaign on normal difficulty strikes a great balance: interesting and atmospheric without being overly punishing. It feels more about building something cool than constant survival stress, which I appreciate. Harder difficulties are there when you want a bit more of a challenge.
If you’re into strategy, city-builders, or just love the idea of managing a colony on a distant world, Aven Colony is absolutely worth a shot. A quiet classic — and one I’m glad I finally discovered.
