    As much as the game gets wrong, there is still a lot to like. The graphics and animations are stunning, the humor is top-notch, all of the puzzles are incredibly inventive, and the minimalistic HUD does a great job of keeping you focused on the action.

    A successful platform game where everything works well, including design and mechanics, except for the promised thematic overlap. [Issue#301]

    Ministry of Broadcast is a gorgeous looking game with an interesting setting and some funny moments in its dialogue, but the whole experience is dragged down by some frustrating design choices with its gameplay. The fans of the retro step platformers of the 16 and 32-bit eras will enjoy Ministry of Broadcast as a new entry in a genre that has been abandoned since the days of Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, but it's harder to recommend to anyone who doesn't love brutal platformers.

    Indie pixelart? Check. Good ol' platforming? Check. Engaging storyline? Check. Immersive music, self-aware jokes, nationality of the authors?Indie pixelart? Check. Good ol' platforming? Check. Engaging storyline? Check. Immersive music, self-aware jokes, nationality of the authors? Check. Check. Czech. Only problem I've had was the inability to set difficulty - when you get stuck, you're stuck. The crow could give hints after several unsuccessful attempts on lower difficulty. Otherwise great fun.… Full Review »
