    Boredom and disappointment. I don't see why others, users or critics, give Thumper such a highly rated score. In the game you play the gray space beetle cruising down a track. Granted, from an audio/visual perspective, the game is interesting and scores points on that angle yet after 10-15 minutes, gameplay becomes excessively boring. Push buttons and drift around corners.

Seems like the developers are influenced by F-Zero so some credit for gameplay should be given there. However, all things considered Thumper just becomes too boring too quickly.… Expand

    More than living up to the "rhythm violence" tagline, Thumper leaves a lasting impression. Presenting a distinctive and adaptive score, together with an insane visual style and a difficulty level that rarely shows mercy, Thumper is a very effective showcase for the hardware abilities of the Switch, and a highly engaging experience on its own merits.

    A rhythm game requires intuitive controls and a good sense of progression and Thumper provides both. Players will have to pay close attention to their surroundings, especially to the sound, as their timing will have to be on the spot in order to advance and thanks to its gameplay mechanics, this is a game that easily seduces those who let themselves be wooed by catchy rhythms.

    With a heap of stages, designed to let you play a little or play a lot, a decent difficulty level and pretty visuals to match, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Some more variety in sight and sound wouldn't have been so bad, but the gameplay and continuous introduction of new gameplay elements forgive this.
