A great point&click/visual novel
This is a great game. The puzzles are few and simple and the game itself straddles the point-and-click and visual novels genres with the focus on the narrative much more than a typical point-and-click. Thank being said, the story and dialogues are very well written and engaging, the characters interesting and the voice acting top notch. I can only recommend it.

Classic mixed with new
The trouble with being over half a century old is, I KNOW what all the old classic point and click adventure games look like, and I've played most of them. I've got very good at spotting these god-awful try-hard "we're being really retro here cos we can't be bothered doing proper artwork" feeble efforts. Rosewater is NOT one of these. I've looked at trailers for the previous games from this developer but they look very much like they were working up to this game. Rosewater manages to mix the older cartoony style with a few modern effects, which is a VERY tricky balance to pull off. But Grundislav Games have definitely done it. This game will NOT remind you of "classic LucasArts games" - which is a go-to of anyone who only ever played what PC Gamer told them to play. What this game looks most similar to is the equally great Jack Orlando. Rosewater has the perfect blend of what appear to be hand-drawn backgrounds, with just the right amount of character animation, great voice acting, good special effects techniques, and the lack of fuss in the scenes helps me focus on the actual story. What I really enjoy is the fact that when they're going through the dialogue, the character movements actually change per line of dialogue when they're talking. This is a really nice thing to see over the often 1 single animated movement throughout dialogue. One thing I am not a fan of is the use of the middle mouse button - this is not a great mechanic for a point and click adventure game. But it's just not a big enough downer to bring my score down. This is a really nicely done point and click adventure, with all the graphical techniques perfectly balanced. I love it. It should be great for anyone who is new to this genre too, as it's very easy to pick up, without being TOO simplified (though it has been compared to the likes of, say, Sanitarium). Perfect game for a wind down after work. I can't wait to see what this developer does next.

A wonderful game
Rosewater is a wonderful Wild West Adventure point-and-click game. Great story and characters. Voice acting was on point for all the different characters. Your choices do matter for the outcome which is nice so you have a reason to replay it. The puzzles makes sense not like in some of these type of games. Enjoyed it all the way to the end.

A great alternative history tale
The score was a bit of a coin toss for me. Rosewater is a great point and click adventure, no doubt about it. If you are like alternative history settings and wild west themed stories, then picking Rosewater up is well recommended. It has a great story, solid puzzles with alternative methods of solving them, it's lengthy, but not too long and the voice acting and music are very well done. There are some minor blemishes here and there, which made made me juggle in between 4 and 5, but all said and done, those blemishes are just so minor nitpicks, that 5 it is. There's nothing game breaking or unfair puzzles and there's even some rather rare replay value for a point and click game, considering puzzles with multiple solutions. Also, the story is quite well written and the setting is stellar, so those help as well.
