10 Most Overlooked Video Games Of 2022 (So Far)
5. Not For Broadcast
In Not For Broadcast, you play as a studio director of a propaganda-filled news outlet.
It's your duty to ensure each broadcast is as exciting as possible. If it's not engaging enough, the audience will get bored. Although you can spice up the broadcast with profanity and vulgarity, you'll get in trouble. As a result, you need to maintain a firm middle ground to ensure the viewers and your employers are happy.
Because you have to constantly watch out for swear words to censor, hold each shot for a specific length of time, find the perfect moment to inject a hilarious sound effect, while monitoring audience feedback, there's never an idle moment. Even when nothing is happening, you can't help frantically skimming every button, switch, and screen, readying for your next cue.
Not For Broadcast also has to be commended for its style. Instead of settling for traditional animation, the game uses live-action for the characters, making everything feel authentic.
Although the first episode of Not For Broadcast was released in 2020, the third and final part was only made available this year. If you haven't had a chance to play, now is the perfect time to give the trilogy a go.
