    Whether you’re looking for a story that might shed some light about where society could go horribly wrong over the next few decades, or if you just want to recapture the magic of Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions, Volume is one of those games that demonstrates how cool independently developed games can be.

    It’s not the deepest or the most challenging stealth game out there and there are times when it can feel like an additional mode for a larger, more elaborate video game, but for the most part, Volume is a highly entertaining stealth game that puts immediacy and accessibility above elaborate gadgets or mechanics.

    The story, characters, level editor, and overall aesthetic are just really cool bonuses to an excellent stealth game.

    Volume is not perfect, but it is a relentlessly fun, interesting and engrossing stealth game that looks to have legs thanks to an excellently simple level creator.

    Volume offers us a game that combines interesting classic stealth game mechanics with fresh elements on one hundred levels with very good puzzles and brilliant design. Even it has some problems with the community generated contents, the new game from Mike Bithell is a full recommendation.

    Volume also looks fondly on the democratization of game development.

It's fun to play if you were a fan of the original Metal Gear games but if you weren't, then there isn't anything about this game that would appeal to you. The story is average, and there's nothing special about this game. It's not a bad game, no. But for me its just too mehh...… Full Review »

    Don't buy it for PSVR!
    The VR mode is you acting someone who is playing the same exact game on a hologram. It is the most stupid and    Don't buy it for PSVR!
    The VR mode is you acting someone who is playing the same exact game on a hologram. It is the most stupid and unconscionable idea I have ever seen for games to be brought into VR.

    On the other hand, Volume is a generally good simple stealth game with total 100 short levels (1-5 mins each) while playing in original mode.
