Aven Colony vs Oxygen Not Included
Aven Colony
Aven Colony drops you into the alien planet of Aven Prime, where you are a colony in desperate need of saving. You take control and try to build a city than can survive, thrive and develop into a bright future for humanity. It is up to you to manage the air, food and other resources you need to make the colony work and help the new colonists survive.There are 2 main game modes, the campaign which has its own objectives and story, and a free Sandbox mode where you can just build to your heart's content and set any limits you wish. There are many factors for you to plan for and a lot of decisions that will make a real difference. Can you help the colony grow?
Oxygen Not Included
Oxygen Not Included is one of the most highly anticipated new survival/base building game by Klei Entertainment, the very people behind the breakout indie title, Don't Starve. Set in a space-colony where oxygen itself is a limited commodity, Oxygen Not Included will put your management and planning skills to the test as you try your best to not only help your current colonist survive the next day but also to grow your colony into a bustling underground space colony.The game has a very in-depth base building system that may bring to mind a 2D version of SimCity. It also features realistic psychological effects (specifically, stress) of surviving, which may eventually lead to a breakdown, and naturally, you wouldn't want that. Aside from oxygen and the mental states of your people, you will also need to keep a variety of other factors well-regulated lest your colonists die from a necessity you've neglected. Best yet, like Don't Starve, each world you play in is procedurally generated, guaranteeing hours after hours of replayable fun!
In some way, Oxygen Not Included feels like a much more in-depth version of Fallout Shelter albeit with a different theme and Don't Starve's iconic art style. So, if you love Klei's games so far, you might want to check out Oxygen Not Included. However, bear in mind that the game is still a work in progress and if you have any suggestions, you can always send them some feedback.
