    I didn’t notice any improvements of the PS5 version since I still own the original PSVR game. It is the complete same game, offering almost same visuals. Don’t expect to get anything better here (besides haptic and rumble). It is still weird to make an extra purchase, this is something every owner should get for free! Anyway the base game is still solid and everyone which just didn’t ownI didn’t notice any improvements of the PS5 version since I still own the original PSVR game.

    Thumper remains a true VR classic, and its upgrade for PSVR2 makes it the best place to experience its violent audio charms.

    Simply put, your enjoyment of Thumper will mostly rely on how much fun you have retrying the same segments over and over again. Although some folks like games that take this approach, I personally get tired of it fast so keep that in mind before taking the trip.

    All of Thumper is quite the sight, particularly in VR. It’s dark and moody; blacks and reds fill your screen, transporting you to some sort of ethereal nightmare. But you’ll likely be transfixed on the action, completely absorbed in Thumper‘s strange but fascinating world. There really is nothing else like it. And try as we might, it truly is impossible to fully summarise the wonder of Thumper into words. It’s one that really does need to be experienced first-hand to be fully appreciated.
