Sometimes you can't tell with artsy indie games if it's going to be a fun time or something you can only appreciate from a conceptual perspective. The Unfinished Swan is not only unlike anything I've played before but also a genuinely fun little adventure that I've returned to quite a few times over the years.

At first you're staring at a white screen, but soon realize it's up to you to lob balls of paint to fill in the world around you. This in itself is really rewarding and unique exploration, but the game turns into something different entirely by the time you reach the next level. Giant Sparrow just constantly throws fun new mechanics and ideas your way which lead to a great little journey.

The storytelling is all metaphorical and went a little bit above my head but you definitely shouldn't miss The Unfinished Swan, a charming short game with a surprise around every corner.
