Top Critic
An odd combination of George Orwell's 1984, puzzle platforming and comedy, which doesn't blend as well as you'd hope. As good as the setting is, it doesn't make up for the rigid platforming or out of place jokes.
Top Critic
Ministry of Broadcast is very much like the games it takes inspiration from. But the insanely unreliable controls and the obnoxious slog of the game's tedious, trial-and-error platforming sections will likely try the patience of anyone who isn't looking for a blast from the past.
Top Critic
Ministry of Broadcast has some weaknesses but also a lot of style. So much it feels original even if you can clearly see Pince of Persia, Flashback or other classics inside his shell. All of this wouldn't be possibile without his strong narrarive and his on-point irony: there's nothing better than laughing to force your brain to work.

It's not perfect – the in-game dialogue is well-written but rough around the edges, with plentiful typos and grammar confusion – but that's not enough to distract from Ministry of Broadcast's terrific level design and superb visuals. Nothing new here, but what it offers is, quite simply, a very, very, very, very good cinematic platformer.
Top Critic
The game does a fine job of narratively showing the way in which a person can be broken down and made to believe anything.
Top Critic
If you loved Orwell's 1984 (and traditional platforming), playing Ministry of Broadcast is a good idea.

Hello! You're tuning in to The Wall Show, where contestants must face a variety of challenges in order to survive. Up next, some red-headed fellow is making their way to the arena, though quite late. Will he make it to the end? Does he intend to do this whole thing barefoot? Find out now with Ministry of Broadcast... or face the consequences of refusing the game
Top Critic
Despite looking visually attractive, Ministry of Broadcast disappoints with its repetitive gameplay mechanic and underwhelming plot execution.
Top Critic
With its interesting setting and its hilarious, sarcastic sense of humor there's a good chance you might be able to force your way through some of the more frustrating parts. However, others may find that those frustrating sequences happen more often than deemed acceptable to put up with. Add the fact that every death leads to a crow taking an antagonistic shot at the player, an aspect that has an ability to be funny one second and incredibly annoying the next, and Ministry of Broadcast becomes a game in which the term "your mileage may vary" heavily applies.
Top Critic
The country was divided by a wall. The only way to get to the other side is to participate and win in the reality TV show organized by the ruling regime.
