Not for Broadcast Review (Différance)

This is just a brilliant game from start to finish to the point that it's unprecedented in its genre and approach. What stands out about it is the sheer creativity that harmonizes a direct and brutal dark humor (no doubt that it will be created by the British) with a keen satire to the point of perfection.
The amount of thought process, great writing, superb acting, awesome scores and tedious editing to make it work is mind boggling. Even though the game gives the player a kind of 80s-set environment vibe, what it aims to carry its focal point in terms of ridiculing meshed with full-fledged critique still resembles how pitiful media has turned into at this age. It is so that, I've seen parts where the creators' intention being the whole idea should be seen as absurd and scoffed at actually happened right before my eyes over the past few years.
There are minor issues like the imprecise ideology of Advance that felt to me slided over hastily a bit, or improvement of a more sound grading system of your editing, or even making a better guidelines about it would be better in general, however, none of those issues take away the games brilliancy, per se.
Overall, I have enjoyed every part of it and would definitely want to experience it more (I'll definitely try different scenarios later). The bastardization of news, inseperability of the medium and the politics, huge reduction in quality in the music, theatre, show and journalism business (essentially anything that TV can offer) could not have been explained and mocked better with a plain awareness in a game.
10/10
