What Volume is
Volume is an indie game developed by Bithell Games and released in 2015. It is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation VR, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Locksley doesn't kill. That would be far too easy. Instead, he commits his crimes through stealth. Sneaking, distracting, avoiding. He is never seen, and seldom heard. 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. A hundred challenging and exciting levels lie ahead, but that is only the beginning of the Volume. The community are free to build their own challenges, even releasing their own takes on the core levels. Volume will evolve, warp and grow as players make their mark on Locksley's legend.
How it plays
It is played from a third person perspective. Its themes are action, science fiction and stealth. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 24 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
Volume holds a critic score of 70 out of 100. That places it above 32% of the 5,098 rated indie games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2015 averaged 69, so it scored about average for its year.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 2.4GHz, 2 GB RAM and 1GB. At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 3GB.
What it launched against
Volume launched on 18 August 2015, within three weeks of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Until Dawn, Mad Max and Dishonored Definitive Edition. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 2 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Until Dawn, Mad Max, Dishonored Definitive Edition.
