Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
While it’s never fleshed out as much as I would have preferred, AER Memories of Old has a unique story of its own and since it’s a narrative-driven experience, the game trades replay value for a compelling albeit somewhat restricted tale.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
With no voice acting at all, AER had to focus on its soundtrack and while the songs were just as relaxing as the gameplay, they didn’t stand out in a particular manner.
