Volume
A hundred levels lie ahead, but that's only the beginning of your adventure in the Volume. The community is busy creating new missions, which have been curated to offer their own challenges. Volume will evolve, warp and grow as players make their mark. Volume's campaign mode is a near-future retelling of the Robin Hood legend, starring BAFTA-winner Danny Wallace (Thomas Was Alone), Charlie McDonnell and award-winning, critically-acclaimed actor Andy Serkis (The Lord of the Rings, Planet of the Apes) as Gisborne. The game’s campaign follows Locksley, who commits crimes through non-lethal stealth. Sneaking, distracting, avoiding. As he grows in popularity and notoriety, so will his inventory. An arsenal of gadgets await discovery in a quest to rob from the rich and give to the unheard.

Nice stealth game!. Beautiful artistic design(Low poly), nice history, good gameplay and decent soundtrack. Is a good game in general terms.
Special mention for spanish language support.(Subtitles).

Honestly, quite a good game. Had lots of fun with various mechanics. Maybe at times it's leaning a bit too into precision, but overall it's fun. I also liked the cameos.
Dan was wrong.

Volume is a great stealth game with varied mechanics and beautiful music.
Gameplay is a bit abstract, but it contains most of concepts present in the genre: vision cones, footstep sounds, hiding in shadows, creating decoys, stunning guards and many more. Due to rotation of challenges and available tools it never really gets old throughout whole campagin i.e. 8 hours (in my case). As for the music - it creates nice, a bit melancholic atmosphere and fits the game. Just search it on the YouTube ;)
Volume is a hidden gem - in my opinion a game definetely worth trying.

A bit like a simplistic Metal Gear VR Missions- you go through stages that are basically little simulations collecting diamonds to open up the exit while avoiding enemies. It's fun but it gets repetitive. The powerups are pretty cool. You get some that will send out decoys or make you invisible. Another cool thing is that any of the main game levels can be made in the level editor. The game keeps adding new game play elements as you progress, but because it's so simplistic it gets tiring around level 60 of the 100 total levels.
The achievements also add very little and are mostly tedious. This is a decent ten hour game and while it's fun to examine the mechanics and mess around with things, I wouldn't compare it to the greater games in the stealth genre like Metal Gear and Splinter Cell. It's fine as its own little thing. If the game design was a little less tedious and the story less nonsensical I'd probably put it closer to some of the all time greats, but as it is it's a fine little mini stealth adventure with some neat quirks.

great music and fun stealth
sometimes its easy to cheese the enemies out of getting caught which makes for some very silly moments haha

Stealth puzzle strategy combo is great at heart but this one feels like it drags on and on
For stealth or strategy fanatics this is a strong maybe.
I love me some well built stealth games and Volume is pretty good for the most part but I lean to a Maybe vote here. The ideas and strategy required for each level gets more and more difficult. New abilities are constantly being shown after each few levels and then forgotten again.
The downside is after playing for awhile and learning so many abilities. It begins to feel very cumbersome and overly redundant. It drags on and at times I wish the levels were larger instead of being tiny. The story is lackluster but at least it has the feel that you're trapped in a simulation which is a cool aesthetic.
6/10
