Aery - Little Bird Adventure

A simulator game where you fly around, explore different lands, and collect feathers. That's it. It does fit the description of a calming game, but there's just not much to do. When you first start the game there's music but then when you play all the music is gone. The only sound you'll hear is a little "bling" sound when you pick up a feather. Going back to the title screen after playing a stage the music is still gone. To progress you have to pick up all the feathers to unlock the next stages. But for some reason when you do pick them all up the game takes you back to the first stage. You have to exit to the title and choose the next stage every time you unlock one, which is just annoying. Finding the feathers is difficult due to the colors, most stages are very bright and the feathers just blend in. Checking every area or even backtracking to find feathers becomes more annoying due to the flying speed. There's no way to fly faster you just have single constant speed. Also note that all the steam achievements are broken. Which is disappointing. I personally don't recommend getting it. The game is short and there isn't much to do in it in general.

All achievements are broken and the ludicrous amount of bloom genuinely gave me a headache.

This game has an interesting concept, but it was lacking in several things. Not only does the music and sound not work, apart from the occasional "blip" sound when collecting a feather, but when you complete a level, it just takes you right back to the FIRST LEVEL and you have to go back into the menu to continue to the next one. It was quite difficult finding some of the feathers as well, since they're often times very hard to see due to the blinding bloom affect throughout the entire game. Overall, I do not recommend this game. The lack of music really dragged down the experience for me.

I'd really like to recommend the game. The controls are simple and work well, the art is lovely, but there's just too many bugs. There's no music, like several others have mentioned. I got used to it and the silence was somewhat relaxing, but there is supposed to be music. Levels don't flow in a logical way. I finished the intro level, and it looped me back to the beginning of it. I went to the menu, finished the first level, and it took me back to the intro level. Same with the second level. The "bonus" level, I guess you would call it, just takes me back to the main menu. It's rather tedious to have to go through the whole menu between each level and certainly detracts from the relaxing atmosphere the game is trying to put forth. Lastly, the achievements appear to be broken. I completed the intro, first two levels, and bonus level so far, and nothing has unlocked. This game absolutely has potential. To sit for an hour or so and just fly around collecting feathers and appreciating the landscapes sounds like a wonderful time. But the above just brings the experience down enough to just take me out of it. Hopefully they can resolve the bugs/ issues noted here and in other reviews, and then I would absolutely recommend the game.

[h1]If you want to run, i will give you legs.[/h1] [h1]If you want to glide, i will give you wings.[/h1] [h1]If you want to fly, i will give you mind.[/h1] What i wanted to say... I wont make full rewind on this game. Its short and simple. So i better will say. Fly. Fly as long as you can. Fly like you never did. Fly like last time.

*edit* I just found out that this is not the first game in the series, it just happened to be released on steam second. This means that instead of being a regressive sequel, it's actually a first attempt. In light if that, this review was a bit too harsh. I'm sorry for that. However, I stand by that it's not good, nor should you pay money for it. --- The first game of the series (Aery - Sky Castle) was low effort in ways, but I did find it to be worth a playthrough, and at least the sale price. This game is like a fever dream version of the first installment. So first, there is no music in the levels for me. I heard it in the main menu like once, but I think they copied/pasted the same menu from the last game, and didn't check to see how well it executed. The level design was where the most effort went into with the first game, but that took a serious hit in this one. These levels are low effort and uninspired. The lighting work is also terrible. It's all terribly meshing colors with too much bloom. You can barely see the collectibles with how bright/blurry the bloom is. They couldn't even be bothered to throw in the save orbs throughout the levels, so you start at the beginning when you collide with something. Lastly, the story/progress is bare as anything. The narration of the last installment was replaced by text. The overworld was replaced by a level select screen. When you complete a level, you get spat into the tutorial level, which once you beat, you get spat right back to the same level, ad infinitum. I would usually suggest ways to improve the game at this point, but this game could only be improved by turning it into a completely different game that isn't terrible. This game is not even worth the sale price, it should be free. Don't get it unless it is.

Минусов больше, нежели плюсов (на данный момент). Есть ожидание, что игру допилят и получится просто конфета. Я люблю подобные игры и ощущение свободы\кайфа которые она дарит Лайфхак для ютуберов\блогеров: геймплей можно записать и воткнуть на фон видеоряда при разговорном видео, как пример))))

I really like the concept, but unfortunately, the game feels quite unfinished and is a bit broken. The first thing that I noticed was that the music was glitched, and the game was eerily silent. I like the visual style, but it's a shame that the game doesn't seem to play how it is supposed to. I am not sure if I will finish it or not.

Кратко: ОЧЕНЬ красивая и прикольная игра! Нет слов) Игра невероятно красивая, вы даже просто посмотрите на скриншоты в магазине! Это шедевр) 10/10 Много настроек графики: как разрешение экрана и герцовки, так и разрешение текстур (от очень низких до ультра 0_0) Простое управление, которое ничем не отличается, но не очень удобное Много локаций, неплохая физика и небольшой сюжет Мирная и немного исследовательская по миру игра... Спокойная и слегка медленная... Идеально для успокоения и умиротворения)) Мой итог: Игра весьма прикольная, может затянуть на пару часиков) А также у AERY есть много частей! И каждая с разным сюжетом) Советую посмотреть)
