With multiple secrets to discover, stone tablets to be read and both spirit animals and other humans to chat to, discovering the world’s secrets is a joy. ![]() Without a word of a lie, I could spend hours on end messing around in bird form, hunting down new islands from the sky, before dropping down and exploring each by foot. For the most part, the entire experience is pretty damn smooth, and this is highlighted no better than when Auk transforms seamlessly into a bird and soars through the air, climbing, diving and picking up the fastest wind currents in order to help her move between the islands of the sky. Playing as Auk, a young pilgrim girl in a super stylish low poly visualised world, you’ll find yourself running, jumping and flying from island to island, and puzzle to puzzle, as you let AER unfold before you. Instead I’ll just have to rattle on about the stunning visuals, the superbly well placed sound effects, and the dream like world that AER delivers. That is however the first and last time I’m going to mention the tale, because I refuse to spoil anything more. Just be aware that it will have you thinking about things you never thought you’d have to ever think about. It is drip fed your way at a delightful pace, and leaves you plenty of scope to take in as much, or as little, as you wish. ![]() So I won’t and instead I’ll just leave you with this little nugget of information… what AER delivers in terms of lore is quite possibly the most moving, most emotional, most intriguing and most mysterious tale I’ve come across in the gaming world. I would like to start this review by mentioning the story that unfolds, but should I do that, then it may just ruin everything that is great about the game.
