In AER: Memories of Old, you play as Auk, a pilgrim from the People of the Sky, who can shift into the form of a bird through her Spirit Animal (please note this is the term the game uses). Auk explores the world as it is now, learning about the past and the Great Divide.

This game is more of a guided exploration with the occasional puzzle/platforming experience rather than a game in either of these genres. I've seen many people call this a walking sim, and I'd agree - if that doesn't appeal to you, this isn't the game for you!

I played this on the Nintendo Switch, and the controls worked well. However, I did have some trouble with the graphics and cut scenes which ended up freezing and jumping around a little - so not ideal.
