The music and sound effects are really good too, very fitting for every situation and of high quality.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

These encounters give the game a surprising amount of replayability – I genuinely felt I could replay Act 2 alone several times and still see new stuff.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Although the game presents its graphics at 1280x720, this works comfortably with its carefully constructed pixel-art direction.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.

Rosewater is a charming adventure game with a wonderful main character and support cast.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The puzzles were also very pleasantly designed - as you often change locations, you never carry an unnecessarily full inventory around with you - very nice, streamlined game design.
