    The story is basically a futuristic version of Robin Hood and the gameplay is similar to the first MGS game. 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...

    Fun game, story is simple, and it is quite short (5-6h). There is not much replay value (except from doing a better time), but this does really not reward you in anyway unless you care about the leaderboards...

    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. + Level Design + Ability Design +    Don't buy it for PSVR!

    - Graph is basically polygons and very crude.
    - Very sudden and annoying sound effect while being seen by bots    … Expand

    Mike Bithell's long-awaited Thomas Was Alone follow-up is a bigger, fancier puzzle game, but one in which the levels don't quite come together as much as the Robin Hood plot. [Nov 2015, p.109]

    Volume gives you a good range of interesting means to sneak through a hundred quite creative levels filled with sneaky puzzles. A hundred is a bit too many, but on the other hand, the game does get more interesting the further you get into it. To me, Volume is essentially a puzzle game with a stealth theme. It is a quite good puzzle game, but for a stealth game, the room for creativity and impulse is too limited to my taste.

    Volume’s strengths are primal but simple, at times feeling like a Crossy Road-style time-passer with a cyberpunk sheen. It tries but ultimately doesn’t say much of modern society or governments beyond the elementary. Indeed, it is the modern videogame incarnate, warts and all.
