Mar 21, 2023There's no denying the underlying game is fantastic, as Not For Broadcast confronts you with moral quandaries as you slowly become a well-oiled cog in a dystopian propaganda machine. While the game's binary button pushing wasn't as VR-native as we would have liked, the base game translates extremely well to VR, feeling decidedly more at home on VR headsets than on flatscreen monitors.

Jul 15, 2024Not For Broadcast in VR offers a unique and compelling experience beyond pressing buttons. The immersive VR setting, combined with the dark humour and branching narratives, makes it a must-play for VR enthusiasts looking for something different. While some repetition exists, the engaging story and the ability to manipulate the flow of information make it a worthwhile purchase.

Mar 27, 2023Not For Broadcast successfully balances thought-provoking writing with a mix of clever political satire, light-hearted slapstick comedy and dark humor for a hilariously captivating story. Making morally difficult choices while dealing with the stress of managing a live broadcast gives players plenty to engage with beyond the entertaining narrative. With the exception of some minor interactivity issues, operating a TV broadcasting station translates beautifully into VR, with Not For Broadcast offering up one of the most unique and entertaining VR games I’ve played this year.
