Today in this let's play we're taking a first look at Aven Colony, a brand new game that is coming out to open beta on September 7, 2016. Aven Colony is a space city building simulator very reminiscent to Simcity Skylines or Anno 2205 in some ways, but has quite a bit of it's own flair. In this episode, we're on the very first area of Aven Prime, a place called Vanaar and we're tasked with learning the basics of expanding the colony and keeping everyone alive despite a deadly atmosphere.

The game itself looks beautiful and plays very smoothly, especially considering we're playing in a closed beta. There's quite a bit of voice over as well as 5 missions, a sandbox, and some tutorials right now. less
