Die Götter der Alten sind vergessen. Verloren durch Geschichten, die die Welt zerbrochen haben. Zurück blieben nur noch Fragmente einst großer Inseln im Himmel. Die mystische endlose Welt, farbenreiche Inseln und antike verlassene Ruinen werden von der Dunkelheit bedroht. Das Mädchen Auk aber wurde mit einem außerordentlichen Geschenk gesegnet: Sie kann sich in einen Vogel verwandeln. Folge ihr auf Ihrer Reise durch das Land der Götter und enthülle die Geheimnisse der Welt um die Realität zu retten.

Gorgeous but short
I enjoyed every second of it, but quite exactly 4h of playtime is just too short for the asking price. Plus there was one potentially game breaking bug. Still with 8h I would have given it five stars. But let's begin at the start. AER is a peaceful exploration game set in a mysterious world of floating islands where the hero, a girl named Auk who can transform into a bird, is on a on a pilgrimage to collect artifacts from three temples. The graphics are presented in an artsy low poly style with beautiful lighting and colors. The islands are populated by different animals and a few humans but the main focus is to explore the world to find the three temples and the according keys to open them. The caves holding the keys and temples are indoor scenarios with a loading screen transition. Also you can't transform into a bird there, so it comes down to a mixture of some (easy) puzzles and a bit of platforming. There are no enemies and Auk cant's die as there is no falling damage. The storytelling is done by some dialogs with humans and animals, but mainly through scrolls and ghostly remnants of the past that you can make visible with a magic lantern. Where AER really shines is flying around as a bird though. It's just total relaxing and fun to explore the world while cycling around mountains and dashing through the clouds (which is totally stunning). Besides, the scrolls, remnants of the past and some landmarks/easter eggs make exploration worthwhile. Still, the world isn't very big and there's not an awful lot to do. Besides there were some bugs like Auk falling through solid rocks and most severe, falling though the remaining columns of the bridge in the ice cavern. This made it impossible to reach the key and I needed to exit the game and reload to continue. Meh. Still, this game gave me one of the best (if not the best) flying experiences in my gaming history and for this alone and the beautiful graphics, it was sure worth playing.
