    + The visuls are the only good thing about this game.
    +- The game is very difficult.
    - This is suposed to be an music rhyeme game but the audio is rubbish. - A music rhyeme game with rubbish audio is just a bore to play. = The game is hard so you need to keep at it to progress but the game is too boring to make me want to. I'd rather play the Britney Spears rhyeme game on PS2 and    + The visuls are the only good thing about this game.

    Thumper is a fun and visually aggressive, face paced rhythm survival game. As a space scarab you’ll enjoy banking and weaving your way through hours of increasingly intense levels. It doesn't make use of any mechanics that are unique to VR and plays identically on the screen as it does on the headset, however the novelty of being in VR enables a more focused experience and heightens the game's purposeful intensity. [Tested with PlayStation VR]

    Thumper’s oppressive atmosphere is amazing. Soundtrack, abstract visuals, breathtaking speed and palpable collisions build tension you would never expect from a runner/rhythm game. It’s a very interesting experience, but every time I removed PS VR after playing Thumper, I was completely worn-out by this intense, perpetual assault on my senses. [13/2016, p.77]

    Fraught, oppressive and tense, Thumper has been built to a singular vision - and one we can certainly respect, if not always enjoy. [Christmas 2016, p.117]
