If your looking for something simple and beautiful then AER will be a nice short diversion. I love the flying mechanics. Shifting back and forth while tumbling through the air is really fun. The story is rather plain however. I finished it in 3.5 hrs without any real direction. I just kept flying and finding caves.
You can't get lost on such a small map. I managed to have all but 4 achievements without any real effort and I doubt I'll go back for those. I had hoped that with messages about others becoming different animals from their animal spirits that I'd either see them or get to become them.
In the entire map there are exactly 4 other people in this world and you meet them all in the first 2 mins of gameplay. The rest are ghostly images seen with the help of a magic lamp. Biggest let down was that ending. The Void is the big bad with no bite. No spoilers but it sucked. I got this through the recent Humble Bundle otherwise I might not have ever played it. I still recommend giving it a try if you've picked it up somewhere.
