Is VHOLUME Worth It in 2026?

9/10

A confident follow-up to BABBDI: superb momentum-driven parkour through an unforgettable brutalist city, sold at an honest $7.99. Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam (97.8% of 1,073 reviews) — the main caveats are its deliberate melancholy pacing and a completionist tail that demands real execution.

Pros

  • ✅ Movement flow — jump, climb, slide chains feel weighty and fast once momentum clicks
  • ✅ 31 main levels plus 31 unlockable B-Sides is generous for the price
  • ✅ Striking brutalist art direction and a story told through the city itself
  • ✅ Multiplayer ghosts and Steam Workshop add real replay value

Cons

  • ❌ Deliberately melancholic pacing will not suit players wanting pure arcade speed
  • ❌ Gold medal times and some B-Side unlocks demand precise, practiced movement
  • ❌ Windows only — no macOS, Linux or console versions announced
