Headliner: NoviNews reviews and comments

Headliner NoviNews is the second Installment in the Headlining series and plays days before the first Installment. Both games have the same Premise, but are completely independent of each other, so you don't have to know the first Game to play the second.
To the Game itself I can only say that it is a direct Improvement of the first Part, it has everything that has done the first Part well and improves this. It is not very long at 2 Hours per Pass but the Price is also not very high and the Game has a high Replay value as it has a Variety of possible Endings.
The Characters are credible and well written, it is also admirable that there is a Figure who is against open Borders and trade Agreements without falling into Racism, but simply because that endangers his small Shop and thus the Supply of his Daughter.
To do this, the Game, like the first Part, takes a very interesting Look at the Media and how News is created.

Product received for free Headliner NoviNews – The sequel to the excellent HEADLINER NoviNews is a sequel to the sensational HEADLINER from the same Unbound Creations. The game was Released on Steam in a year, on October 23rd, 2018.
Headliner NoviNews is the same HEADLINER, but longer and slightly improved. To understand the mechanic you better read my review on their previous game.
So, what has changed? First, it's a place of action and a complete storyline. Well, yes, he's still connected to human modifications, horrible government, and everything in that spirit. But we are not playing in Galiksia, but in her neighbor country-Nowistan.
Novistan will not be so unbred as Galliksia, but the MEDIA is not a step behind. People still listen to the news as a word of truth in this terrible world. You as always influence everything that will happen in the country.
But Now we have hindrance – our boss, who will not be once random articles from strangers, people in Brown cloaks who want to overthrow the ruler and only you decide to help them or not. Also we have a brother who in life is not so lucky as us and there is a choice, to help him or not. The Main thing is that his life depends directly on your articles, because they affect the whole country. Also with your second half, which can die, can become barren and so on.
The Second thing I would like to sweep is a completely revamped schedule. You Can see that the developers have worked for fame. The World is made in a minimalist 2.5 D style, and in the dialogues shines some Japanese "anime" style. I'm not a fan of anime, but the dialogues look chic.
The Third, and the last thing I would like to say, is more days and more branching in the plot. The Game can go 5 times at all without problems. Each time it will be unique and it is excellent.
Verdict: The sequel, which is connected with the Prikvelom only the common world. There is a huge progress in the work on the sequel. And all the pluses of the original they were able to save, which is only a delight. This is the continuation we deserve.
Rating: 9.7/10.
One of the best games of the year 2018, definitely.
