Release Date: August 18, 2015

Quote:
WELCOME, TO THE VOLUME

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.

Volume is a near-future retelling of the Robin Hood legend, starring 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.

Key Features
[*] 100 levels of unapologetic stealth action featuring a suite of gadgets for use to avoid, distract and evade detection.

[*] Full set of content creation tools to build and share your own levels with the world.

[*] Full campaign playable using pre-made or user-generated levels. 

[*] Starring Andy Serkis (The Lord of the Rings, Planet of the Apes), Danny Wallace (Thomas Was Alone) and Charlie McDonnell (charlieissocoollike)

That looks rather strange... as did Thomas Was Alone before I played it I guess. That one was awesome so I'm interested in this as well. Cool concepts coming from this guy.

A little late this, but anyone who's interested in the behind-the-scenes dev of this should check out Mike Bithell's Twitter account:

https://twitter.com/mikeBithell

He posts random stuff there about Thomas Was Alone and other things (it's Twitter, after all), but also posts about various dev/programming/bug problems on Volume, as well as interesting info about PR and artwork. Smile

Polygon - 9/10
NDTV - 9/10
GameInformer - 8.75/10
Gamespot - 8/10
Eurogamer - Thomas Was Alone creator Mike Bithell bypasses the difficult second album hurdle with a simple, elegant and carefully paced stealth puzzler.
RPS - There’s a clever stealth game here, without question. I’d just like it so much more if it ramped up faster and cooled it with all the chest-thumping.
GodIsAGeek - 7.5/10
Destructoid - 6/10

Yeah the game is pretty cool. Razz I've played some missions and the stealth part is done right. It's not exactly 'hardcore' and perhaps there's not enough freedom at times (it's more like a stealth-puzzle, since levels are not big and there's often one only way to get past the guards), but using the basic moves+distraction guns/oddities is fun.

There is a story too (sort of), though nothing really captivating, clearing the levels in the sneakiest way is the only thing that counts.
