Mixing a unique art style, tranquil moments you’ll spend in flight, and some middling puzzle platforming, AER has some elements that work better than others. A general lack of clear direction may frustrate some, though there’s also an old school mentality to it asking you to experiment and discover that I appreciated. The fact that it’s over with a bit too soon diminishes its luster, but there’s no denying that when you take to the air and explore the world it feels pretty good, making it worth checking out if you’re in search of something relaxing and are content with it being somewhat bite-sized.
