AER Memories of Old is a new adventure game developed by ‘Forgotten Key’. It’s coming out the 25th of October for the Xbox One, PS4 and PC. AER Memories of Old looks like another one of those that has high emphasis on relaxing, taking it easy and checking out the environment and view. Let’s take a look.
In AER players control a girl who somehow has the ability to transform into a bird. why? Well she is a shapeshifter. As a bird she does exactly what you’d expect. She can fly and soar through the air gracefully and quite fast. This is important as exploration is the main word for this AER. Explore and check out the floating islands. This world is filled with secrets which players must discover and unlock to progress through the story. The story in AER Memories of Old is about the end of the world.
The gods in AER are forgotten somehow because they got lost in certain events that shattered the world. Or maybe the memories of gods got lost in the events. Either way it’s strange. The events also what caused the world to be as it is right now, with fragments of islands left in the sky. Thanks to being able to turn into a bird she can reach these islands and explore them for herself. Come to think of it, if she is a shape shifter what’s the limits of her abilities? can she only be a bird? Do shape shifters only get one form? Why not change into a dragon? Questions maybe the game will answer.
AER is said to have endless skies so fly for as long and as much as you like. There are also ancient runes to be explored as well but everything in this world is in danger and it’s up to the player to save this world, to save reality. Since this is an open world game there is going to be lots to do and the size of the game proves this.
We checked out some gameplay and it is exactly what we thought it would be which is good. There is a lot of flying and enjoying the skies. then coming to an island to look around. you may find a cave or similar entrance. There are some others things in AER as well. Nomads and even large creatures. A trailer revealed a large black creature with glowing lines on it’s body. It looked really cool by the way. There are artifacts to find and a big story to unfold.
Overall AER Memories of Old does it well. There are strong relaxing, taking it easy mechanics in the game with a heavier story. The emphasis on exploration could be a problem here. Hopefully there won’t be too much repetition. We do believe the world of AER needs more life in it for more excitement but let’s see. The graphics is minimalistic art style and look real good. The sounds and music are also very good. The environments and designs are really cool. The developers ‘Forgotten Keys’ did a great job with this game. This game might be worth checking out. Now in AER Memories of Old, the gods are forgotten but we can never forget is… the ‘Earth Walk!’
