It’s a compelling tale told at a leisurely pace, and one of the game’s best features is Harley’s detailed journal, which is filled in as the adventure progresses. It’s a proper journey too, a bona fide road trip that starts at the abandoned desert lab of Dr Bennet Clark and ends at the sprawling lamp-lit city of El Presidio. And yet – and hopefully this doesn’t sound too cliche, because it’s true – it’s everything that takes place between these two pivotal locations that really matters. That’s right: Rosewater is more about the journey than the destination.
