Featuring a stunning low-poly art style, a wonderfully well-integrated soundtrack, an ingeniously simple control scheme, an interesting transformation mechanic, and impressively designed temples, AER has a lot going for it. It’s unfortunate that the experience is as short as it is and there is no way to keep track of what’s been seen. A few more environmental puzzles and a simple journal would fix my only complaints about this exploration-heavy title.
AER Memories of Old is a pretty basic adventure title, with simple puzzles and no real action elements. You can expect a relaxing experience spanning a couple of hours, with some intriguing ideas, a distinctive personality and some touching moments.

Well, what can I say... (played this game before on epic) An amazing game with amazing indie visuals, great cutsceneless storyline that will keep everyone satisfied, great mechanix, character designs, great soundtrack... i could keep on forever. The only bad thing is its a bit incomplete and the ending is weird, but thats pretty much it! There's not a game i would recommend more and I honestly think that if the game would be 60$ it would be still worth buying.
I could go about this game forever, but you should see for yourself.

Small, but stunning game, gorgeous atmosphere and art, enjoyable and beautiful sound and music and interesting storytelling, if there is a game, that can be called Amazing In the literal sense of the word, then this is it, game is small, do not have lots of gameplay, do not have much action or deep puzzles, but have interesting world and its beautiful story.
Great game to relax and dive in to another world.
Also, if you ever dreamed to be a bird, then you have to play it.

AER is quite original, mixing puzzles and a zen feeling. It's a good journey, but not an unforgettable one.
I very much enjoyed my time with AER Memories of Old. It’s not perfect; it’s a little on the short side, its puzzles are a bit lacklustre, and it has an overt religious message — although if anything, that it adds to the world that AER creates. It’s beautifully designed, and if you stop often enough to take in your surroundings, you’ll find a very strong, moving narrative. If nothing else, though, it’s just so much fun to fly around.
Aer Memories of Old is a beautiful game. A place to come back from time to time to enjoy a flight. Forgotten Key has created a complex tiny world explained well and full of little secrets but, at the end, it feels small and we want more and more.
AER Memories of Old knows its limits and doesn’t try to go beyond them, which causes it to fall short in places, leading to simple gameplay and environments. It makes the most of what it has, especially with its visuals, but AER still turns out to be a rather short, shallow game in the end.
AER is trying so hard to look like those beloved games from which it is being inspired, but fails to do so. The game is filled with bugs and does not tell us an interesting story all along. Even though some aerial moments are quite a delight, the total lack of wind is incomprehensible, as is the rest of the gameplay. Why would you want to play this? We are still looking for an answer.
90/100. (Recomendado / Recommended)
Maravillosa aventura "Contemplativa" del actualmente difunto estudio Sueco Forgotten Key y distribuida por Daedalic Entertainment, sello de calidad artístico de primer nivel y una narrativa sesuda. El título nos invita a explorar, sin embargo, con excepción de algún animal y entornos vistosos, no ofrece ningún incentivo adicional más allá de descubrir el mapa.
Wonderful "Contemplative" adventure from the currently defunct Swedish studio Forgotten Key and distributed by Daedalic Entertainment, a first-rate artistic seal of quality and a brainy narrative. The title invites us to explore, however, with the exception of some animals and colorful environments, it does not offer any additional incentive beyond discovering the map.

AER Memories of Old is a short but enchanting experience in which you explore a world made of floating islands.
The game basically alternates between two gameplays: the exploration of the open world, where you fly around as a bird; as three dungeons where you solved basic puzzles. I think the devs probably got inspired by Zelda: the Wind Waker as I found quite some similarities with it in this game: the cartoony graphical style of course, but also a large open world made of islands, with the Tower of the Gods right in the middle. The gameplay is limited to the strict minimum: moving and jumping in human form, or flying in bird form.
This game doesn't give in challenge, it is only there for you to enjoy the exploration and the poetry, with a calm, sometimes melancholic atmosphere.
My only disappointment was the endgame. Otherwise a enjoyable experience.
Note for the completists: there is one of the achievements that can't be unlocked if you progress too far into the game so you might as well read at least the description of the achievements, if not a guide, before diving in.

Aer Memories of Old - {do not recommend}
The game is [Bad, that's all].
The only good thing about the game is the landscapes and the feeling of freedom, the story is normal but there is a lot to be done as a complete game, apart from that it is very short, and if you can't win achievements (EPIC Games case), take it out the sense of exploration on the game, making you only explore to complete the map, which is small, except that the objectives are not clear, which only hinders progress, the game also has optimization problems in some sections and the movement is not best.
Look for something better and don't waste your time.
