The plot, characters, art, music, atmosphere, pretty much everything aside from the actual gameplay is THE BEST you will ever experience, bar none. I can't rate this game anything lower than 5 stars, purely because this feels much more like a work of art than a video game. As far as problems go, Rule of rose has such a beautiful expansive map, but it’s hell to navigate, and you get few rewards for exploring. If anything you get punished for exploring due to the messy combat system, which is unfinished and hard to get to work right. Despite this, I really can't knock any points off it it. There can't possibly be anything like this game out there, and it will forever be a piece of art I wish I could experience again for the first time.
