It's a fine small project that I hardly can call a game. Much more close to a interactive video experience

Nice idea, good visual, fine realisation. The story itself is not my kind, there are no characters and development, thus the experience itself is very limited. Not in a bad way though, if you like exploring forgotten realm of old …

I'd say it's 6.5/7 out of 10, but in a 5-star rating I simply can't put it into 4/5. Some people may like it very much, but for me, there is too little ‘game’ itself unfortunately

Nintendo Switch version is kinda dull by the way. Frame rate drops like it's Korok Forest and with no visible reasons

Just played a few minutes. I'm surprised how enjoyable is to fly around and I really thank the developers for giving me the ability right from the start. A lesser game would've made it an unlockable skill in the 5th hour.

The flight mechanics are what I enjoyed most about AER. It’s relaxing and fun to soar from island to island, checking out the game’s lore and learning about the history of what happened to this mysterious, broken land.

I’m very happy I took a chance on this game. It’s brief (you can easily beat it in a couple of hours) and the platforming controls aren’t the most precise, but overall I recommend AER strongly. Grab it on sale and enjoy this beautiful, unique game.

I forgot this was on my most anticipated for 2017 list. Only a few minutes of play and I can already tell I’m going to enjoy this.
