Gaming Professors
By Nikola ErlebachováAER: Memories of Old is a charming explorative adventure game with a peaceful atmosphere aimed at relaxation and stress relief. The varied game world hides many small or big secrets and it will be up to you how much of it you want to discover. The transformations from girl to bird and vice versa are beautifully smooth, unfortunately the same cannot be said for the controls. The length of the gameplay isn't very friendly either, but if you're even slightly intrigued by the title, definitely take your time and immerse yourself in its beauty.

By NayuThe depth of emotion that the story dips into is remarkable considering the game style, with the music and sound effects combining to create a specific atmosphere within it.
Saving Content
By Evan RoweAER: Memories of Old makes a strong first impression with its lovely art style and lofty goals, but the experience often has its wings clipped by a shallow premise, serious performance issues, and not enough content in the areas at which it excels.
Nintendojo
By Andy HooverOverall, the game is just an exceptionally pleasant experience. Nothing it does is truly groundbreaking but almost everything just gels together into a very cohesive experience both aesthetically and in terms of gameplay. It’s an exploration game that has both a world you’ll want to see coupled with a means of traversing the world that’s just plain fun. What more can you ask for in such a game?
New Game Network
By Stephen LaGioiaAER: Memories of Old teases its potential with some amusing bits - namely the rich atmosphere and the bliss that comes with soaring through the skies as a bird. Still, it feels a bit like Zelda-meets-Myst - with much less detail or interaction. Tough to recommend, unless you find great value in a characteristically passive, serene adventure game.
