Steam review snapshots
There's even a single player campaign!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…The campaign on normal difficulty strikes a great balance: interesting and atmospheric without being overly punishing.A pretty simple and basic colony sim but overall quite enjoyable and chill time.Why it fits
Check it if you want simulation, strategy filtered by weird, single-player.
