Aery - Broken Memories

TLDR: It wasn't bad, but I probably won't play it again because it's not my kind of aesthetic. And there are too many issues I had with some storytelling details which were too immersion-breaking for me to fully enjoy the game. Let me preface this by saying I had an enjoyable experience playing this game. My mistake in buying it was having preconceived ideas about the quality of game play, visuals, and music. Let me explain. One of my favorite games to play is ABZU, which I happily play over and over again because the music and graphical storytelling are gorgeous and spectacular, in my opinion. This game is NOTHING like ABZU, in that it is a completely different way of storytelling, and it's not one of my favorites. That being said, I think people who enjoy this kind of unique artistic design, music, and storytelling will have a memorable experience because I did, and I wasn't even a huge fan. HOWEVER, I'm also an English nerd, and one of my biggest pet peeves is incorrect usage of grammar, typos, and unnecessary wordiness. This game is riddled with all three. Plus, it was extremely difficult trying to fly around avoiding obstacles while also attempting to read what was being said (the sound quality is not too great, as I could hear small whispers of what sounded like someone reading the words, but I couldn't make out anything concrete). I tried messing with the sound equalization, but I'll admit, I'm not very tech savvy, so it could very well be user error on my end. And I haven't been able to find any way to read the collections later, so there's no way to read the gathered thoughts outside the levels, which was quite annoying for me. The visuals aren't bad, as I stated before, they're just not my style, so it wasn't as fun for me as it might be for someone else. Same with the music, except there were times where I was actually bopping my head to it, so I think I like the music more than the graphics. Overall, don't do what I did and expect ABZU-level of game play, storytelling, visuals, or music, and you might just enjoy the sweet, heartwarming story beneath all the imperfections. I did. But I more than likely won't play it again. It's one of those one-time games for me, like a one-time movie or one-time book.

I realize that this game is probably made by one guy, so I'm not going to comment on the faults in the gameplay or the two songs. But one thing that was well within the abilities of the delevoper to control is the lighting. For heaven's sake, turn the bloom down! This game turns everything with a color shade brighter than a pair of blue jeans into a blinding light that leaves you squinting at your screen to make out anything. Unfortunately for you, the things you need to collect are a glowing blue item. Yeah, you're not going to see it until you are right on it. I found myself staring at the world through the corners of the screen, because the little vignette counteracted the ridiculous bloom levels a little bit where you might be able to make out what's around you. But not even the vignette could help in the snowy mountain level.

Хороший таймкиллер с приятной графикой и не напрягающим геймплеем, все что ты должен делать в этой игре - просто летать и собирать жетоны, спрятанные на карте. Хорошая игра, что бы поиграть после тяжелого дня. . . . Разработчики добавьте регулятор яркости, картинка слишком светлая.

This is a very good game and really immerses you in the story only problem is the achievements are locked and the devs are too high on whatever to see that they are locked! So let me put it into simple words: - Good Levels - Good Story - Good-ish Controls - Garbage Achievements that are locked no matter what you do to fix it.

I couldn't get past the dog level it was so bright with the snow that I couldn't see a thing let alone the feathers. The narrator is so soft that you would have to turn the music all the way down to hear them. I'm very disappointed in this one.

Лучше включать свою музыку, так можно получить больше релакса

It is a game where you fly around and collect tokens on each level to progress to the next level. It is cozy, but not my cup of tea. I didn't dislike it, but my complaints match other comments (too bright, can't move the camera, etc)
