Bought this on-sale. Steelbook is a nice bonus. The game wasn't too difficult. It was short and played through pretty quickly.

Plays like the first prince of persia, or flashback if youre familar with those older games, but the story is almost a comedic mix of 1984 and the truman show, if that makes sense. Gameplay can be tough but forgiving, prolly not for everybody but i enjoyed it. I did like it came bundled with a steelbook, i appreciate those things especially when the game is from a smaller developer and at a fair price.

Not a game for everyone, but if you love tight platforming and a great story this is great. It is also very challenging. Graphics are good and puzzles are challenging. Buy it if interested.

A story heavy platformer set in a bleak Orwellian dystopia. There are a lot of puzzles to be solved while make your way through the story.

A rather dark humored, pixelated puzzle platformer. Make your way through levels filled with obstacles, traps, red herring solutions while sometimes sacrificing your fellow man to get ahead (don't worry, they come back. Mostly.) The game was about 8 hours in length and it was really fun; but there's not a whole lot more to say beyond that. Some of the humor reminds me of early Sierra and LucasArts graphic adventure games. Really the whole overall look of the game is reminiscent of those games as well.

Not a review of the game as I haven't played it yet. However, the steelbook in this edition shows a real lack of attention to detail: there are multiple typos on the text inside the steelbook cover. Strangely the same text is on the inside cover of the regular game box without the typos. It literally would have taken one glance at the text to notice the typos so I'm not sure what happened.
I'm also not sure why this game comes with THREE boxes. It's a steelbook edition but I still have a paper box sitting on my shelf... Anyway, the game looks cool and I look forward to playing it, but this physical edition is just really confusing to me.

This was a fun game. I thought it was going to be a serious type of game but was surprised by the humor in it. Lots of ginger jokes. LOL
Gameplay is very original Prince of Persia style, minus the combat. This is a very puzzle type/ platform game.

With its unusual mixture of a dystopian narrative, a minimalist art style, and a 2D platforming gameplay, Ministry of Broadcast delivers a unique experience that feels truly cinematic for any player.

Highly recommend this game. It's a fun, but frustrating and darkly toned story. The minimalist graphics add charm to this puzzling game. BB has the steel book version at a great price too.

This game reminds me of Prince of Persia for the Gameboy. Cool story with it and great puzzle mechanics too. Great sprites and really well done for a simple platformer.

I really like the look of the steelbook and am a big fan of supporting indies so I was happy with this purchase. Especially recommend if you can get it on sale.
