Weird Weekend<\/div>\n
\n

Weird Weekend<\/a> is our regular Saturday column where we celebrate PC gaming oddities: peculiar games, strange bits of trivia, forgotten history. Pop back every weekend to find out what Jeremy, Josh, Ted, and Rick have become obsessed with this time, whether it’s the canon height of Thief’s Garrett<\/a> or that time someone in the Vatican pirated Football Manager<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Vholume<\/a> is not big on waypoints or barriers, and I love it for that. In the first level, there’s a naturalistic, reasonably signposted “correct” path to walk you through the tutorial. I immediately went the opposite direction for shiggles<\/del> to indulge my well-honed sense of childlike wonder and curiosity. I lost myself in a field of brutalist rooftops, wallrunning and mantling about with no sign of the beaten path in sight. I accidentally stumbled across the level secret this way, unlocking a B-side bonus mission. <\/p>\n

My wanderlust eventually intersected with the critical path, and after wrapping the tutorial, I unlocked time trial mode for this level. After my super-chill freeform exploration, white knuckling it to a gold level time almost felt like a completely different game.<\/p>\n
