AER Memories of Old

게임이 불친절하고, 조작도 불편하고, 쓸데없는 훼이크 요소가 너무 많음. 그래서 그런 요소들이 평화롭고 아름다운 분위기에 비해 매우 불쾌하게 작용함. 번역이 잘못된건지 아니면 제대로 된 번역인데 원래 이해하기가 어렵게 쓰여진건지 모르겠는데 스토리 하나하나가 난해하고 중2병스럽고 앞뒤 연결이 부자연스러워서 오히려 스토리 진행에 방해만되고 짜증만 남. 거기다 캐릭터 디자인이 너무 허접하고, 심지어 보스 디자인까지도 허술해서 그냥저냥 대충 만든 게임이란 느낌이 확 느껴짐. 스카이림+모노노케히메+마인크래프트 등 여러가지를 섞어서 급조했다는 느낌이 강하게 들고, 그것들의 장점을 극대화하지 못했다. 힐링 게임을 하러 와서 힐링을 해야 하는데 그게 아니라 대충 만든 세계관의 지루한 스토리와 싸우고 있는 나를 발견하게 된다. 어린이를 타겟층으로 잡기에는 너무 난해하고 불친절하고, 성인을 타겟으로 잡기에는 지루하고 의미없는, 액션 요소가 전혀 없는 무미건조한 패턴의 반복인 게임이다. 이 게임의 모든 지루한 과정과의 싸움을 극복해내고 마침내 엔딩과 마주한다면 당신에게는 엄청난 선물(저혈압 치료제)이 주어질 것이다. 그렇다 하더라도 언더테일만큼 재미없고 짜증나진 않으며, 장점을 억지로라도 찾아볼 수는 있다. 그래서 결론1 힐링하러 왔는데 스트레스만 받고 감. 결론2 언더테일 개십노잼.

AER; Memories of Old is quite a calm game! Is both a calming and fun game where you can enjoy flying around and explore the world around you. The story isn't very long and the puzzles are pretty easy to figure out. But if your ever looking for a game to turn your mind off to, I would absolutely recommend this game. 8/10 A calm and fun game with a lot of potential.

В этом ужасающе пустом мире поистине трудно понять куда тебе надо, как туда попасть и вообще зачем это нужно делать.

AER: Memories of Old is a short but memorable experience. It’s a fun 3 - 4 hour game with some heavy creation - myth energy, pulling from themes that feel connected to Eastern spirituality, Indigenous folklore, and ancient mythology. The flying is easily one of the best parts. Turning into a bird and gliding between floating islands feels smooth, peaceful, and genuinely satisfying. The world has a quiet meditative quality to it and even though the gameplay is simple the atmosphere carries a lot of weight. What stood out most to me was the story. The tale it tells feels profound, but also familiar in the way many ancient spiritual texts are familiar (creation, separation, balance, destruction, memory, and the relationship between humans, gods, and nature). It places those big spiritual questions into a game format without over explaining them or shoving them down your throat. I was a little disappointed there wasn’t a stronger ending scene or final cinematic, because the game builds toward something that feels like it deserves a more emotional conclusion. But aside from that, AER is a beautiful, peaceful, and thoughtful little game. It’s short, simple, and easy to finish, but it leaves you thinking about much bigger things.

風ノ旅ビトやSky等の雰囲気探索系のゲームから影響を受けてそうな オープンワールド寄りの探索ゲームになります 雰囲気の部分をかなり意識して作られているので世界観はとても良いです しかしその代わり進行の分かりやすさ、操作やUI等の部分が荒く感じました 雰囲気に没頭するタイプの人は良いと思いますがゲーム性の部分を気にする人は 少し引っ掛かる部分を感じるかもしれません 人は選ぶと思いますが概ねおすすめできます

Esse é um daqueles jogos que nem precisam ser longos pra serem bons, gostei do jeito que o jogo te deixa livre pelo mundo, tem uma soundtrack muito foda e os cenários são lindos, faz tudo ter uma vibe muito única. É simples e bem curto, porém não foi algo que deixou a desejar.

[h1]Quick Verdict[/h1] 👍 A relaxing exploration game with simple puzzles and a beautiful atmosphere, though it can feel directionless and ends a bit abruptly. [h1]Score Breakdown[/h1] [h3]🎮 Gameplay — 3.5/5[/h3] Simple exploration and puzzle-solving with a strong focus on flying and discovery, though it can feel a bit directionless at times. [h3]📖 Story & Narrative — 3.5/5[/h3] Interesting world and lore, but much of it is optional and easy to miss if you do not actively explore. [h3]🎨 Visuals — 4/5[/h3] Simple polygon-based art style that looks great and fits the atmosphere of the game very well. [h3]🔊 Audio — 3.5/5[/h3] Soothing and fitting soundtrack that supports the relaxing tone. [h3]⚙️ Technical Performance — 4.5/5[/h3] Runs smoothly without noticeable issues. [h1]Game Profile[/h1] [h3]⏱️ Length[/h3] Short, around 2 to 4 hours depending on how much you explore [h3]🎯 Difficulty[/h3] Easy, with simple puzzles and no combat or failure states [h3]🔁 Replayability[/h3] Low, mainly for completing missed achievements or uncovering additional lore [h1]Highlights & Drawbacks[/h1] [h3]✅ What Works[/h3] * Relaxing exploration and flying mechanics * Beautiful and cohesive art style * Soothing atmosphere and music * Accessible and easy to pick up [h3]❌ What Doesn’t[/h3] * Lack of clear direction at times * Controls can feel slightly janky when flying * Story elements are easy to miss * Ending feels abrupt and unsatisfying [h1]Final Thoughts[/h1] AER Memories of Old is a calm and enjoyable exploration game that focuses on atmosphere rather than challenge. It is easy to get into and relaxing to play, but its lack of guidance and abrupt ending may leave some players wanting more.

A suitable game for contemplation and relaxation. The puzzle is accurate to have a good time wothout being confused. The player is well guided to reveal the mystery.

I love strange, weird, exotic indie games, specially when combine flying and a gorgeous soundtrack to relax getting lost in exploration. Glad to find this hidden gem
