An intelligent and witty story with developed characters, outstanding gameplay which manages to offer a challenge while also keeping it simple. The visuals are beautifully basic, polygons are everywhere in simple colours and have never looked this good be

Storyline can feel separated from gameplay, PC controls can feel odd unless remapped
Although it lacks the charm and characterisation of Thomas Was Alone, Volume looks to be Mike Bithell's next big hit. It's got plenty of gadgets to tinker with, is verging on infuriatingly difficult and has enough humour to have that distinct Bithell fla...
Abstract: In a not too distant future, the world is dire. At least, the world of near-future England isn't too great as an evil corporation has turned things into a caste system not too dissimilar to what was fought against by Robin Hood. How do you fight back? Wel...
