So, when I saw it at 9,99€, I repurchased for the Switch.
   
   Compared to other "free flight" games it has the advantage of steering the exploration with a simple story.
   
   Sadly, the indoor passages don't quite live up to the good feeling of the outdoor, and it feels like the game could have expanded more on the outdoor world building. But that's mostly nitpicking on my side.
   
   On the switch it slightly suffers from the joy cons, which are markedly less precise than an XBox one controller (especially for camera controls), and I think it is locked to a lower frame rate than on PC. But those are general weaknesses of the platform appearing in all games, so it shouldn't be help against the game I guess.… Expand

   Don't expect complex gameplay or epic raging battles. This game is more like a piece of art. It has an excellent, relaxing atmosphere. For me, the feeling of freedom and speed when flying is the strongest lasting impression. The story is not forced on you, rather it unfolds slowly as you explore and discover pieces of it. I can only describe the overall experience as spiritual, deep, full of visual bliss.
   
   The graphics look a bit basic at first, however not only it does not matter, but somehow it ends up doing much better job visually than if it was fully smoothed out and textured. It has to be the warm lighting and colors, which are put together well.
   
   The flight itself feels great, although I'd highly recommend using a gamepad. The keyboard gets the job done too, but does not allow you to fly near as gracefully, which would be a miss. The only downside for me is that camera angle resets to forward view after a while, if you look around mid-flight.
   
   The bird form allows you to go so fast you can travel around the whole world easily. This is both good and bad, as the world can feel bit smaller, on the other hand, you never get bored by long travel from A to B.
   
   The absence of damage and death scared me at first, but I didn't really miss it in the end. The game is about discovering a story, enjoying the flying and exploration, not fights. When I fumbled a pass and crashed, I felt embarrassed enough to be less reckless next time, and thus no blood or death screen was really necessary.
   
   Sadly, the game is very short, once you figure out what to do. Knowing that from the start, I found the length to be quite OK-ish, as longer story would require some more complex mechanics in order not to get boring.
   
   Overall feel: Well suited game to just slow down and relax.… Expand

   A good game from start to end. Its flight sequences are very enjoyable but when you are indoors it fails to compare. Its story is enjoyableA good game from start to end. Its flight sequences are very enjoyable but when you are indoors it fails to compare. Its story is enjoyable but short. Its beautifully low-poly sky-islands are a treat and I often find myself coming back to the game just to fly around and visit them. I recommend buying this game on sale as I did. I experienced no crashes on Switch but some longer load times. AER is a wonderful jaunt through a beautiful world.… Expand

   Une envie de pause, d’une jolie balade et de quelques puzzles ? Ce jeu est fait pour vous
   Ce jeu est assez court, peu exigeant mais très joli et plaisant à parcourir.
   Je l’ai commencé en sortant d’un gros open world (pas forcément exigeant mais qui demande du temps) et j’ai pris plaisir à simplement voler, découvrir le lore du jeu et explorer en toute simplicité sur quelques heures.
   Il n’y a pas de grands enjeux, c’est un jeu zen… Expand

   There are many missteps in this game, but it is worth playing if you like low-poly adventure games and don't mind the short length.
   
   TheThere are many missteps in this game, but it is worth playing if you like low-poly adventure games and don't mind the short length.
   
   The level design for temples leaves a lot to be desired. I had to reference walkthrough videos for every temple because the layout and objects activated by switches are not intuitive. For example, several times I would activate a switch, which would lead to a cutscene of an object near me, then I would get lost trying to figure out how to get to the referenced object. Often, the switch also activated a doorway in an earlier part of the dungeon, but with no indication that I'd have to backtrack to that door.
   
   Also, I feel that this game could have been better if it had either voice acted dialogue, or done away with the dialogue completely. There is an attempt at world building, but the core loop boils down to asking a villager where to go next, then just flying north, east, south, or west until you get there.
   
   Sound design was good, with good use of contextual sounds in temples. The song choice in the overworld is unobtrusive, but I personally didn't like most of it.
   
   As previously stated, it is short, but I do not fault the game for that. I like short games, but I felt that the ending was poorly handled.
   
   Overall, the game makes enough mistakes to lower it's rating, but I did enjoy it enough to finish.… Expand

Not sure what I expected at £2, I've had other good games at that price with no troubles at all though but Aer crashed out in less than 10 minutes of play. Not sure if it's a soft, or hard crash yet because I've not put it back on but one thing that really annoys me is games doing a full on crash 10 mins in.… Expand
