Some are suggesting Thumper VR is the Playstation VR’s killer app at the moment and has perhaps come from the left field in terms of being an unexpected gem of a game. It’s a music based rhythm shooter game hybrid if that’s the correct definition where you control a metallic looking beetle from space and travel a surreal path against swirling life-forms.
Thumper remains a true VR classic, and its upgrade for PSVR2 makes it the best place to experience its violent audio charms.
Got this a couple months ago and as a first time player... i was blown away at how good this is. Really cool.
it's quite a blast to play and the upgrade cost is quite acceptable if you already have the PSVR game.
This is the game I have spent the most time on in psvr2. It’s fantastic. It also highlights my problem with psvr2. This game is also awesome on the Quest 2, the og PSVR and various other vr platforms. It’s a badass game and I love it… but I didn’t spend almost $600 to play games I’ve already played for nearly identical experiences. This is unfortunately the majorly of psvr2 games. Don’t get me wrong, they’re some gems but… it’s not a must have.
As someone who didn’t buy a VR headset until I found a future-proof rig, I’m quite happy.
The tech feels like a bargain compared to other options. You can spend a lot more money and get a top of the line wireless rig, or you can save a few bucks and miss out on haptic feedback in the headset, OLED screens, and adaptive triggers.
When Thumper came out in 2016, it was a highlight of the game launch lineup for the PSVR. The frantic rhythm title had players racing through space while matching their moves to the soundtrack’s beat playing in the background. Thumper has been upgraded for the PSVR 2, and the game is just as great this time as it was the first time.
this is another one I want to check out. If it's anything like REZ (with a bumping soundtrack) then I'm sure to enjoy it.
Good game. But I’ll warn you. I found it to be a bit more challenging than I expected.
Looks great and trippy, sounds amazing, but yes, quite challenging. It's like Tetris Effect in that the best way to beat this game later on is to stop thinking about it and just get in 'the zone'!
The haptics make a notable difference, aside from the improved visuals. Great game.
I love this game, even though I haven't managed to beat it yet. I couldn't get past the fourth boss at PSVR1, but now I'm at the fifth on PSVR2, so hopefully I'll move on.
It's a very addictive game, but really fast.
Downloaded last week, cost me £3.99 for the PSVR2 upgrade yes its amazing. Even better than before.
Oddly, only the VR version has HDR support. The PSVR2 headset and peripherals make the biggest difference here, rather than the game itself.
The haptics on the visor perfectly accentuate Thumper's gameplay, long described as "rhythm violence". Each time you hit a power-up or damage a boss, the headset rumbles along with your controller, heightening the visceral violence of the experience to new levels.
Gameplay Demo? Dude, you have no idea how awesome the game is. Get the full game, then you'll understand its true awesomeness.
I so love this game not really a fan of these types of games but he'll its awesome
