15 Positive User Reviews for The Unfinished Swan
Super imaginative
After reading the other reviews, I wanted to mention that the game automatically saves now. The bridge people complained about did seem a little glitchy, but I was able to fiddle with it a little, clinging to the side, then moving across from the left side to the right side. It only took 5, maybe 10 minutes max, to get it to work. Everything else in the game worked well. I can’t underscore enough how imaginative the game is. Each chapter adds something completely new.
Lost progress
I was very happy with this game, currently on chapter 5 and all of a sudden all of my progress was lost. Is there anything I could to to recover it?
Unique
Gotta give credit to the developers of Edith Finch for not milking their success with a million sequels and instead making another completely unique and original narrative game. So many beautiful spaces to explore here!
Ignore the negative reviews that say the game doesn’t save. It saves whenever you see a new chapter sign.
Masterpiece (my favorite Annapurna game besides donut county)
Paint the world as you go along. There are so many things to interact with. It took a year, but I found all the balloons and unlocked the demo version. If you like this then try donut county. Annapurna makes wonderful games.
Beautiful but issues
It’s a very charming and fun game, but i had the game downloaded and made sure it was saved/went back to menu but a few hours later of not playing all of my progress was gone. Also little bugs showing up. I have a very recent ios and this game is a few years old so was a bit confused and certainly frustrated by that.
I loved this game
I saw somebody play it on YouTube and I loved the gameplay and I really wanted to be able to play it for myself but I could not get it because I didn’t have enough money and the right gaming console so thank you so much for making it come to the apple store I also loved what remains of Edith Finch it was really good same with donut county and journey I also saw it played by the same person on YouTube who also played this game his channel is stampylongnose
Backbone doesn’t support game, but controller works
This game is supported by controller already, it just needs to be recognized by backbone as being supported
Beautiful and inventive
This is a really interesting game with great storytelling throughout. I did consult a walkthrough a few times, and I sometimes found it hard to maneuver, but over all it was very interesting and I am glad I finished it. Would get more games from this developer.
What to do?
I’m confused -what am i supposed to be doing? Am i supposed to splat the swan? Is there a door? How do i get to the next level?
Bravo
The best mobile release I have played this year. Creative, lighthearted, fit for all audiences. Takes a while to finish the story and has postgame replay value.
4 Negative User Reviews for The Unfinished Swan
Amazing game but THERE IS NO SAVE
This is a beautiful game, and I loved playing it on the PlayStation. Sadly, there is no save function on iOS. Even if you don’t close out the app or restart your device, when you pull the game back up you will be back at the very beginning of the game and sitting through the opening dialogue once again.
No save option!
Great design but can’t save the game. I feel like I wasted money and time.
Unfinished swan
I have tried to play this app several times for several hours and every time I stop playing it and then go back to play it it starts over every time. I really want to like it but the frustration is to much!
Unplayable
The game was fine until the second bridge in the lighthouse section where the vines don't support you. I tried the game in my phone and my iPad. There's no way to move forward and no help. A big disappointment.
