Critic Reviews
The Thirsty Mage
By The Thirsty MageThankfully, I didn’t feel like I was getting a lecture, each side of every issue can be explored and the endings don’t cast a judgement on your choices. Its main message is to illustrate the effect the news can have on our daily lives, and gets the point across in a very entertaining way.
Geeks Under Grace
By Sydney StoddardHeadliner: NoviNews is an engaging, interesting game with a rich story, and what you publish as a national news editor truly impacts the world around you.
Pixelophobia
By Łukasz AnkudoHeadliner: NoviNews is a second game in the series, lesser in scope, but more fleshed out. It allows you to feel the power through the pages of a national newspaper. It's a great showcase of the power of media and how it can shape the world around us and influence our lives.
Kritiqal
By Nate KiernanUnbound Creations’ Headliner: Novinews is a hyper-compressed exploration of how society reflects the stories it tells, and what this means when the powerful hold all the pens.
PlayStation Universe
By Alan StrawbridgeHeadliner: NoviNews tries something new in gaming - managing a news desk and influencing the welfare of the citizens with each day of published and suppressed articles. With a good balance of moral decision making, 2D exploration and interaction with NPCs, the only thing really missing is any depth. After a few repeat plays, you'll have had enough which is a shame as the few hours when the material is fresh is both enjoyable and thought provoking.
