Forums - Gaming - The Unfinished Swan is Unbelievable Amazing

Tagged games:

Some guys already know I brought three new game in PSN this week.

The Unfinished Swan™
Okami HD
One Piece: Pirate Warriors

* I spent $64.97 *

To begin to I choose The Unfinished Swan and and so I only played it until now because it is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I took exactly 3 hours and 48 minutes to finish the game collecting all the ballons... the game itself is so easy but the atmosphere and scenery are nothing less than top notch.

The first level is the best in my opinion and there is a specific trophy for it "THE BEST TROPHY EVER - Minimalist"... the trophy consists in finish the first level without throwing more than 3 balls... it's ridiculous and so so so fun... I had to increase the volume of the TV to hear all the sounds to get to finish this challenge.

I spet more 2 or 3 hours just in the Minialist Trophy... so far 6-7 hour of pure fun.

Every PS3 owner need to play this game.

I can't say it's better than Journey but I can say the experience is as AWESOME as Jorney.

I LOVE IT!!!

I will get this, only a matter of time, just a great concept.



Yep, it's on my list, will definitely pick this up eventually. I love games that are able to generate atmosphere.



i like art games, i'll get it eventually but i just don't know when. soo many games atm.



Unfinished Swan is on the wishlist.

I fully agree, that minimalist trophy was genius. Going through the first level by sound and a few sparse cues was great fun. Getting on the staircase was bloody hard, sideways, half backing up, trying to keep a visual cue visible through the railing to judge movement. Awesome.

The first level was the most original but I didn't expect it the rest to be so fresh and original too. It's like a new game every chapter. The atmosphere is great throughout the game and I was grinning at the tv by the start of the last chapter. Fun story with a nice ending.

It took me a bit over 6 hours to get 100% and since then I've been messing around in the first level with my 3 year old now and then. He loves throwing around paint, stopping/starting time and clearing the mess again.

For me it sits comfortably between Journey and Papa & Yo. A bit closer to Journey, it has the same sense of wonder and discovery as Journey.



I agree with the paint levels being the best but the middle levels were cool to. That ending was brilliant in my opinion but that last painting technique had so much potential yet it was underused.

My father was watching me on like my fith playthrough so I passed off the controller to him and started a new game. Turns out this was the first 3D dual analogue game he ever tried. Man did he have issues with moving and looking but he sure enjoyed it and made it all the way to the end only needing my help in the last level. Took him 7 hours lol.

Also how do you get the launch trophies? I unlocked bought the thing that lets you pick up the stuff yet how do I get it 20m up?

These artsy games are all well and good, but having played Flower and Journey, the gameplay blows.

Gameplay should not be sacrificed for the sake of being artsy, These are video games first and foremost, act like it. I have not played Unfinished Swan.


It is a discussion that could see both sides having merit and being subjective in values placed on aspects of gaming.

I would say diversity is always a good thing and experimentation should be encouraged.  Visually, narratively, or in the mechanics of the game.   I completely understand how this might turn some mind sets off, but I for one am glad to see something that surprises me and excites aout potential of the medium.



I bought it, but I'm not gonna be playing it for a while (probably not until next Summer). Too many games to get through.



I am the Playstation Avenger.

   

the problem is it costs 15 bucks, i see that price a bit to high, i will probably get it when its cheaper
