Before playing "The Unfinished Swan". I played another Giant Sparrow game called "What Remains of Edith Finch" which I liked a lot. Maybe it is because I'm comparing "The Unfinished Swan" to that game but I didn't enjoy it as much.
"The Unfinished Swan" is way more gameplay-oriented than "What Remains of Edith Finch". It starts very unique and caught you off guard. The gameplay mechanic is simple yet special which makes for a memorable journey. It's riddled with puzzles but they are not frustrating hard and you can pass them relatively easily.
Yet it doesn't offer much in terms of story. It's a simple one and mostly just an alibi to put you in the game. The gameplay itself has a very simple mechanic which for a gameplay-based title is not that helpful. "The Unfinished Swan" tries to give some diversity to the gameplay but in my opinion, they are either mostly not that different or just one-time use.
You might enjoy "The Unfinished Swan" as a simple, indie game more if you are not expecting much about it. Unlike me who had played "What Remains of Edith Finch" as Giant Sparrow's previous title.
