Review

Rosewater offers players a beautifully crafted journey that stands out primarily due to its unique artistic style and engaging narrative. The game dives into themes that resonate deeply, but at times, the pacing can feel lethargic, making some sections less exhilarating. The puzzles are a highlight, pushing players to think critically, although they can occasionally veer into overly complicated territory that may frustrate those just looking for a casual experience. While there are certainly moments of brilliance that shine, the game does struggle to maintain momentum throughout, which may deter some players from fully enjoying what it has to offer.
