VHOLUME

Another masterpiece from the developers. Peak after peak.

fantastic atmosphere and satisfying movement

[h1]Best dedicated parkour game in years, elevated by the visuals and soundtrack[/h1] [h3]The good stuff:[/h3] - Very responsive controls, encouraging experimentation - No handholding: the game respects your intelligence and never questions the route you might take to the exit - Soundtrack is an absolute masterpiece (1000 Eyes was involved, which you may know from [b]Signalis[/b]) - Multiplayer: you can play with your friends (or join random lobbies) and try to beat each other's times - Nostalgia aesthetic: the low poly levels reminded me of old classics like Unreal Tournament 1999, Half-Life 2, and Soviet brutalist architecture. [h3]Downsides:[/h3] - Short (if you're not constantly retrying levels to get a good time you should finish all of the levels in 2-4 hours) - A bit disorenting (which can be frustrating on the more open levels, but that only happens once or twice) Worth the price for the surreal solo experience, and if you have friends along for the ride, it's even better. Mirror's Edge spiritual succesor really is worth your time. - 4.5/5

POV: You're Killy speed running to find the Net Terminal Gene.

I played this entire game in one sitting while coasting on a moderate dose of shrooms and lemme tell ya, I was so locked in and honestly just in a trance from start to finish. Hauntingly dreamlike and just straight up beautiful at moments with an awesome lowkey but very pretty soundtrack that carried the whole thing. Thanks for the experience guys.

Big recommend if you enjoy flow runners.

A speed platforming game that just brings people together in a fun way. We all wanna go fast, And the game feels so good to play its fun to learn to go fast. In my first multiplayer experience, I joined a random lobby on a map that I knew with one player in it. Showed him a route that cut his time by at least 40 seconds. We then spent the next ~2 hours chatting and perfecting that route, and he showed me more improvements to my own route that even I didn't think of. Watched each other fail god level runs and showing each other where we messed up and what parts we struggled on. More people joined, we showed them our new route too. Sooner or later everyone who stayed and did attempts had a time under a minute, every time someone new joined, we'd wait to see their time and couldn't wait to show them what new thing we'd discovered. Overall a great game to play yourself, or improve, race, teach, and theory craft with others.
